  • Patent number: 8067096
    Abstract: There is provided an electrode material for electrolytic capacitor that attains an unprecedentedly high capacitance. The electrode material for electrolytic capacitor comprises a layer of valve metal particles furnished on the surface thereof with an oxide film, the layer having a porosity of 20 to 60% and a specific surface area of 30×103 to 400×103 cm2/cm3, wherein the valve metal particles are mixed together, with the particle diameters exhibiting a given distribution at least within the range of 0.005 to 0.1 ?m, and form a base material surface, and wherein the valve metal consists of aluminum, and wherein the composition ratio of Al/O of the layer of valve metal particles furnished on the surface thereof with the oxide film is within the range of 2.0 to 5.5. The electrode material thus realizes high capacitance.

  • Patent number: 7075503
    Abstract: A method is provided for adjusting color temperature in a PDP device. The method includes setting a desired color temperature of the PDP as the RGB ratio which shows the level ratio of each of the RGB signals, setting each light emitting frequency of the PDP corresponding to the level of each of the A/D converted RGB signals, and selecting a subfield of gradation frequency corresponding to the set light emitting frequency to control the light emitting of the PDP. According to the method, the color temperature can be adjusted without lowering the gradation in the PDP.
