Abstract: There is provided a clock-recovering filter circuit for use in a clock recovery circuit that generates a recovery clock signal from input data from an external device and a reference clock signal. The filter circuit includes: a pulse-inserting circuit which inserts pulses in a first phase-advancing signal or a first phase-delaying signal, thereby generating a second phase-advancing signal or a second phase-delaying signal; and a frequency-offset detecting circuit which detects frequency-offset data from the second phase-advancing signal and the second phase-delaying signal, the frequency-offset data representing a frequency difference between the recovery clock signal and the reference clock signal. The pulse-inserting circuit inserts pulses in accordance with the frequency-offset data when the first phase-advancing signal or the first phase-delaying signal is not input.

Abstract: An electron emission type display apparatus has on a flat plane a matrix layout of multiple light-emitting elements which are connected to cross-points of longitudinal and lateral common electrodes, for sequentially turning on a line of light-emitting elements connected to a common electrode. In such the device, distortion takes place in drive waveform since a low-pass filter (LPF) is formed by a combination of the wiring resistance of the common electrode and the capacitance of a light-emitting element. To avoid such waveform distortion, the width of a light-emitting element driving voltage pulse is caused to be greater than the width of a scan voltage pulse.

Abstract: A simple cooling construction capable of achieving two functions at a time is to be provided, one function being cooling a lamp as a lighting means and the other function being preventing the scatter of broken pieces of the lamp upon burst of the lamp. An image display device such as an LCD projector has been configured such that cooling air is introduced into the interior of a reflector to cool an lamp means. In this connection, the present invention adopts a net of an expanded metal structure which serves as both means for preventing the scatter of broken pieces of a lamp upon burst of the lamp and an air deflecting plate facing a portion to be cooled. The above two functions can be attained simultaneously by such a simple construction.
