  • Publication number: 20240134217
    Abstract: A method for inspecting a semiconductor device in which each of a plurality of reflective elements includes a liquid crystal. The method includes the steps of acquiring a first capacitance corresponding to each of the plurality of reflective elements after inputting a first voltage signal to the semiconductor device so that a dielectric constant of the liquid crystal is in a predetermined first state in each of the plurality of reflective elements, acquiring a second capacitance corresponding to each of the plurality of reflective elements after inputting a second voltage signal to the semiconductor device so that a dielectric constant of the liquid crystal is in a predetermined second state in each of the plurality of reflective elements, calculating a difference value between the first capacitance and the second capacitance, and determining whether the difference value is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20150145789
    Abstract: The present invention aims at reducing noise caused by driving of the display panel while reducing a drop in the output rate of coordinates representing an object to be drawn. A coordinate output device receives a horizontal synchronization signal of a display panel from a display panel control unit and starts to detect touch location on the touch panel after a prescribed length of time has passed from the initial rise of the horizontal synchronization signal. The coordinate output device detects coordinates representing touch location in accordance with a signal outputted from the touch panel and performs a generation process to generate coordinates based on three consecutive detected coordinates. The coordinate output device outputs coordinate data having the detected coordinates and the generated coordinates to a control unit as coordinates from a period when three of the generated coordinates were detected.

  • Patent number: 8339255
    Abstract: A display system of the present invention includes a liquid crystal platform section (200) which outputs display data for displaying, on a liquid crystal display section (100), an image in accordance with information obtained from an automobile. The liquid crystal platform section (200) includes a DIC (201) which generates display data and calculates a display position of the image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display section (100) from the obtained information and which causes the generated display data to be displayed in the calculated image display position. The DIC (201) updates display so that the image moves at frame intervals from a start position of image display to the image display position calculated from the automobile information currently obtained, when an interval at which the information is obtained is longer than each of the frame intervals for displaying the image.

  • Patent number: 8094003
    Abstract: An on-vehicle display control unit includes a CPU to which vehicle data of various kinds are inputted and a graphic LSI arranged to generate display data to be outputted to a display. The graphic LSI is arranged to generate predetermined display data from image data generated by a meter ECU. However, if there is a problem in a state of the meter ECU or an input status of 3D moving picture data, the graphic LSI receives a fail safe control from the CPU (4), thereby to generate fail safe display data corresponding to the predetermined display data. This realizes an on-vehicle display system capable of stably displaying important vehicle information.

  • Publication number: 20020059176
    Abstract: Controlled by a control section, a data communication apparatus carries out the following operations. In the first place, a transmission/reception scheduling section generates schedule data based on a request for obtaining or transmitting data which occurs in off-line operation in which the data communication apparatus is not connected to network, and the transmission/reception scheduling section stores the schedule data in a schedule data storing section. Here, the transmission/reception scheduling section sets the time and date of connection for each schedule data. A data storage/readout section processes the request for obtaining or transmitting data based on the schedule data in on-line operation in which the data communication apparatus is connected to the network. Further, a network connection section can connect the data terminal apparatus to the network to establish on-line operation at specific time and date based on the time and date detected by a timer section.

  • Patent number: 6327892
    Abstract: The present invention provides a measuring apparatus and method for measuring the quantity of ventilation, whereby the quantity of ventilation correlates to the heating characteristics. [The present invention is also] able to measure the quantity of ventilation of a gas permeable packing material used in heating packets in a short period of time, regardless of the type or pore diameter of the packing material. The present invention provides heating packets displaying stable heating characteristics. In the present invention, one surface of a gas permeable packing material is exposed to the atmosphere, while the opposite surface is scavenged with a carrier gas which does not include oxygen. The present invention measures the oxygen diffusing capacity, [as the diffusion of oxygen] from the atmosphere through the gas permeable packing material, by measuring the concentration of oxygen in the carrier gas after scavenging.

  • Patent number: 5975074
    Abstract: Water is adhered to the bottom face of a non-woven fabric having a large number of pores, then a heat generating powder composition is sprayed onto the top face of this fabric to be held in place. Another non-woven fabric is then superposed on the top face of the first non-woven fabric and the two non-woven fabrics are compressed. Water or a solution of electrolytes in water is then sprayed on the fabrics. Thereby, a sheet shaped heat generating body can be provided which uses a heat generating composition which generates heat when contacting air, which prevents concentration of the heat generating composition in one direction, and which is thin, flexible and has good heat generating properties.
