  • Publication number: 20020089471
    Abstract: With regard to a display device having an SRAM incorporated in a pixel, a technology is disclosed, which is capable of reducing manufacturing costs by simplifying a constitution of a driver. A write voltage equivalent to white or black represented by a tone level of a normal display area is converted into a write voltage corresponding to a brightest white display or a darkest black display in the pixel, and is held in the SRAM of each pixel. In the case of normal display, display is carried out with the write voltage represented by the tone level of the normal display area. In the case of static image display, display is carried out with the write voltage corresponding to the brightest white display or the darkest black display in the pixel, the write voltage being held in the SRAM. Since the normal display and the static image display can be carried out with a write voltage supplied from one driver, the constitution of the driver can be simplified.

  • Publication number: 20010015713
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display realizes high resolution without enlarging a frame area of an array substrate in the display. The display connects analog switch pairs each consisting of a p-TFT and an n-TFT to signal lines, respectively. Among the TFTs, those having the same polarity and connected to adjacent signal lines are provided with drain electrodes that are connected to a video bus through a common contact hole. Sharing the contact holes among the TFTs enables the switch pairs to be juxtaposed at fine pixel pitches.

  • Patent number: 4514745
    Abstract: In a heat-sensitive recording material incorporating a colorless or pale-colored basic dye and a color acceptor which is reactive with the dye to form a color when contacted therewith, the recording material characterized in that the color acceptor comprises at least one compound represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each a hydrogen atom, alkyl having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, aryl or aralkyl, provided that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, as well as R.sub.3 and R.sub.4, are not hydrogen at the same time.
