Abstract: The information processing apparatus includes a reception section, a processor, and a storage section. The storage section stores a learnt model obtained by mechanically learning the relationship between image information and operation information based on a data set in which the image information and the operation information indicating a user operation are associated with each other. The reception section receives image information as an input. The processor performs a process of displaying a recommended operation associated with the image information received as an input based on a learnt model.

Abstract: An image display control device includes a display unit that displays a print result of an image to be printed on a paper by a printing device as a pre-display image before the printing is performed and a PC that controls the pre-display image displayed on the display unit. The PC causes the display unit to display the pre-display image, which is displayed when the printing device prints the image on an area to be printed on the paper without margins, by dividing the pre-display image into a print area which is set so as to correspond to the area to be printed, a protrusion area which is outside the print area and where a printing operation of the image is performed by the printing device, and a cutoff area which is outside the protrusion area and where the printing operation of the image is not performed.

Abstract: Provided is a display unit that includes: a pair of a first substrate and a second substrate that are arranged in opposition to each other; a display layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a display mode switching layer having an aperture for each pixel, and provided between the display layer and the second substrate.

Abstract: A storage medium has a printer driver program recorded thereon causing a computer to execute functions including a category-based UI information managing function that manages UI information on a display of a user interface to set a print condition, for every category, to which an application program of a print instruction source belongs, a print condition display control function that displays the user interface based on the UI information corresponding to the category, to which the application program of the print instruction source belongs, when printing is instructed, and a UI information editing function that edits the UI information to be managed for every category.

Abstract: A printer 1 has an I/F section 31 for receiving data from a PC 2, a parameter-deriving section 35b for deriving a control constant on the basis of print setting information included in the received data, and a printer section 11 which performs printing operation on the basis of the print setting information, the control constant, and print data included in the received data.

Abstract: A polyamic acid and a polyimide obtained by reacting a dianhydride and diamines. A substrate having a film of such polyimide or polyamic acid deposited thereon. A liquid crystal display containing a film of such polyimide as an alignment layer. A method for reducing the response times of a liquid crystal display and/or for improving the on-state- and off-state-transmission and/or the voltage holding ratio of a liquid crystal display, the method involving incorporating the polyimide as an alignment layer in the liquid crystal display. A method of producing a liquid crystal display involving depositing a film of the polyimide on a substrate.

Abstract: A product of printer driver which operates on an operating system making a computer execute a conversion processing to convert data in electronic document format into data in bitmap format, the printer driver further making the computer execute, an accepting process which accepts from the operating system print target data in electronic document format, a first outputting process which generates, based on the print target data in electronic document format, print data in a command language format capable for interpretation by a printer as a control target and outputs the print data thus generated to the printer, and a second outputting process which requests the operating system to convert the print target data in electronic document format into bitmap data, and outputs print data based on the bitmap data thus converted to the printer, and the first outputting process and the second outputting process are selectively performed.

Abstract: A method of forming a liquid crystal alignment film able to prevent uneven drying of a liquid crystal alignment film and thereby prevent alignment defects of the liquid crystal and reduce the defect rate of liquid crystal display devices, including the steps of dissolving a polymer material (preferably a polyimide) in a solvent comprised of a polar main solvent (preferably &ggr;-butyrolactone or N-methyl-&agr;-pyrrolidone) plus about 5 to 15 wt % of butyl &bgr;-hydroxyethyl ether as a leveling agent and coating the solution on a substrate; pre-baking the substrate to volatilize at least part of the mixed solvent; and baking the substrate at a higher temperature than pre-baking to polymerize the polymer material, and a method of producing a liquid crystal display device including the above steps.
