Patent number: 10971095Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes source lines and gate lines, pixel electrodes, switching elements, a source driver, a gate driver, and a failure inspection circuit. The source lines and the gate lines are disposed in a lattice form. The pixel electrode is disposed in a pixel region defined by the source line and the gate line. The switching element is disposed corresponding to the pixel electrode. The source driver drives the source lines. The gate driver drives the gate lines. The failure inspection circuit is connected to the source lines or the gate lines, and performs inspection of the source lines or the gate lines. The failure inspection circuit includes monitor input signal lines, monitor output signal lines, a determination circuit that detects voltage levels of output signals from the monitor output signal lines, and an expected value comparison circuit that compares outputs from the determination circuit with expected values.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2017Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignees: PANASONIC CORPORATION, PANASONIC LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY CO., LTD., PANASONIC SEMICONDUCTOR SOLUTIONS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jun Suzuki, Akihiro Yoshizawa, Hideki Nozaki, Satoshi Endou, Kenji Fukuta, Hiroaki Goto

Patent number: 10152496Abstract: Setting of a search condition is facilitated. A communication terminal initially displays a plurality of search panels including a search panel P1, which is an image corresponding to a search target in a certain category. Thereafter, upon a user selecting one of the search panel (here, P1), the communication terminal displays search panels P11 to P16, which are images corresponding to search targets in sub-categories of the category of the search panel P1. The user can change the search condition by moving one of the search panels P11 to P16.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2013Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Satoshi Endou, Fumie Miyamoto
