Abstract: A system for calibrating a moisture sensor encompasses a processing unit (341). The processing unit (341) includes a reference data obtaining LCKT (345), a subject data obtaining LCKT (346) and a relationship calculating LCKT (347). The reference data obtaining LCKT (345) obtains reference data, after injecting water-vapor with known concentrations into an analyzer. The subject data obtaining LCKT (346) measures subject data indicating temporal variation of output-responses of a subject sensor element of the analyzer under test. The relationship calculating LCKT (347) compares the subject data with the reference data, and calculates relationships between the output-responses of the subject sensor element and the known concentrations.

Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal display device in which: bias is mitigated in the event that bias has occurred in the liquid crystal material of a liquid crystal layer; variations in the cell thickness do not occur; and display irregularities are controlled. A display crystal panel 1 is equipped with: a TFT substrate 2 and an opposing substrate 3 which are rectangular in shape and adhered together by a seal material 4 formed at the inner peripheral side; a liquid crystal layer 5 provided on the inner peripheral side of the seal material between the two substrates; a rectangular rim-shaped frame BM 32 provided on the liquid crystal layer 5 side of the opposing substrate 3; and a linear recessed portion 33 provided in at least a circumferential-direction section of the frame BM 32.

Abstract: In a method of driving a liquid crystal panel, an overshoot signal is applied to the liquid crystal panel to display images on the liquid crystal panel. An overshoot level C is selected from a plurality of overshoot levels Dn. In this selecting, difference values between momentary values of a response waveform gn and momentary values of an ideal waveform f are obtained and added for a predetermined period and a minimum first error value E1 is obtained. One of the overshoot levels Dn corresponding to the response waveform gn having the minimum first error value E1 is selected as the overshoot level C. One of the overshoot levels Dn is selected by using an average value from the values obtained for the predetermined period similarly to humans' recognition of the liquid crystal display element. Accordingly, tailing or an image failure is less likely to occur.
