  • Publication number: 20120044127
    Abstract: Provided is a terminal apparatus that is able to, when outputting an image and letting it display on an external display apparatus, keep on displaying the same image on the external display apparatus, even when operations are executed that will display an image you do not want to show to the current viewers of the external display apparatus, due to receiving phone calls or e-mails. The terminal apparatus (indicated by an example: mobile terminal apparatus (1)) is enabled to output screens to the external display apparatus (indicated by an example: TV 4). The mobile terminal apparatus (1) is provided with a displaying portion (14), and a different-output control portion (indicated by an example: output-destination determining/control portion (21)).

  • Patent number: 8006269
    Abstract: An information communication terminal apparatus allows a broadcasting signal transmitting side and a secondary service provider to provide a television service in consideration of a user's desired way of viewing. This is attained as follows. That is, a television receiving control section controls, in accordance with a predetermined broadcasting control command extracted by a data extracting section from data received by a data communication section, a television broadcasting receiving section such that the television broadcasting receiving section controls (start, halt, or carry out channel switching) reception of a broadcasting signal.

  • Patent number: 6288766
    Abstract: A liquid crystal injecting device has a jig which seals an opening used as a liquid crystal inlet of the cell and another opening used as an air outlet of the cell separately. When obtaining a liquid crystal element by injecting liquid crystal into the cell, the liquid crystal is applied to the inlet before the injection, and after an internal pressure of the cell is reduced by releasing air from the jig, the liquid crystal is injected to the cell by being supplied to the inlet through a liquid crystal supplying tube. During the injection, a temperature of the cell is set to a temperature at which the liquid crystal takes a nematic, cholesteric, or isotropic phase, while air is kept being released. When the injection ends, the liquid crystal is further applied to the inlet and outlet, while being reinjected into the cell through all the openings at room temperature or above under atmospheric pressure or above, after which the cell is cooled.
