Abstract: Upon receipt of operation entry for processing and editing a currently displayed slide, an operation information generating section generates operation information corresponding to this entry. An operation information reflecting section performs editing on the basis of the operation information and stores the operation information regarding the editing in a storage section. Upon receipt of slide data from the server device, the operation information reflecting section reads operation information of the past regarding this slide data, and generates a display screen in such a manner that editing corresponding to the read operation information is reflected in the received slide data. This makes it possible to display slide data stored in the server device on an image display device in a manner that a user wants, without increasing load on the server device.

The insulation layer extends in the direction at least along an outer periphery of the display region, and includes groove portion having a recessed groove which opens on the orientation film side. The first conductive layer is covered on the surface of the recessed groove. The signal lines are formed in a state that the signal lines go around the recessed groove.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method for a liquid crystal display device, in which a semiconductor pattern and a metal pattern are formed so that the semiconductor pattern includes a first portion formed under the metal pattern and a second portion which outwardly extends off the metal pattern from the first portion. An insulating layer for covering the metal pattern and the semiconductor pattern is formed. The insulating layer is subjected to etching in a first region located above the metal pattern and in a second region located above at least the second portion of the semiconductor pattern. In the etching step, the insulating layer in the first region is subjected to etching to form a through hole for electrical connection to the metal pattern, and the insulating layer and the semiconductor pattern in the second region are subjected to etching to remove the second portion of the semiconductor pattern.

Abstract: An etching resist including first and second portions, the first portion being thicker than the second portion, is formed on a metallic layer. Through the etching resist, a semiconductor layer and the metallic layer are patterned by etching so as to form a wiring from the metallic layer and leave the semiconductor layer under the wiring. An electrical test is conducted on the wiring. The second portion is removed while the first portion is left unremoved. Selective etching is performed through the first portion so as to leave the semiconductor layer unetched to pattern the wiring to be divided into drain and source electrodes. A substrate is cut. In patterning the wiring, the wiring is etched to be cut at a position closer to a cutting line of the substrate with respect to the drain and source electrodes, while leaving the semiconductor layer unetched.

Abstract: A digital camera has a shutter release button. A mode selector sets a selected one of a regular photographing mode and a macro photographing mode adapted to image pickup at a nearer distance of close-up than the regular photographing mode. An LCD display panel as a user interface has an alarm generating region which outputs an alarm signal visually as an enlarged alarm icon, and/or a sound source as a user interface audibly outputs sound of alarm message voice. A controller is responsive to depression of the shutter release button, for mode discernment by checking a state of the mode selector. The LCD and/or sound source is driven if the macro photographing mode is set selectively.

Abstract: The present invention prevents a TFT liquid crystal display device from deteriorating its image quality due to the insufficiency of voltage written through TFTs.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique which can prevent the disconnection of lines in the vicinity of terminal portions formed on an end portion of a TFT substrate of a liquid crystal display panel. Terminal portions for supplying electric signals to scanning lines are formed on a TFT substrate. Auxiliary lines and connection lines are formed between the terminal portions and the scanning lines in order from the terminal portions. A line width of the auxiliary line is set to 20 ?m or more and the auxiliary lines extend to a region where the TFT substrate is covered with the color filter substrate. Although the connection lines connect the auxiliary lines and the scanning lines, for making the resistances from the terminal portions uniform, a line width of the connection line at a center portion of a flexible printed circuit board is set to a small value and a line width of the connection line at a peripheral portion of the flexible printed circuit board is set to a large value.

Abstract: In a television, a single screen is split into a plurality of split-screens, and content displayed is different for each of the split-screens. In the television, the content selecting section selects content assigned in advance with each of the split-screens. A display section displays the content thus selected, on a corresponding one of the split-screens in a display. For example, a first split-screen displays a television program while a second split-screen displays a web page containing information on the television program. When a screen mode (pattern of split-screen) is changed, content corresponding to the screen modes is selected again and displayed. By the foregoing way, the content is displayed in a state suitable for respective split-screens.

Abstract: A digital television of the present invention includes an object information storage section and a key assignment control section. The object information storage section contains one or more numerical attribute values indicative of an attribute(s) of each object in association with the object. The key assignment control section ranks the objects by the one or more attribute values in accordance with a predetermined rule and assigns the objects to the direction keys sequentially as they are ranked. As a result, the user can efficiently select a target object and enjoy improved user operability.

Abstract: A control section of a slideshow display device includes a display control section. The display control section 115 causes a list of thumbnails to be displayed when a display timing at which a target image other than a currently displayed image is to be displayed comes before a predetermined point in time. As such, when display delay occurs, a list of thumbnails can be displayed, instead of the target image. This realizes an image display device which prevents a user from being subject to stress when display delay occurs in slideshow display.
