  • Patent number: 10971056
    Abstract: Provided is a display device that individually corrects luminance of an image to be displayed in a part of an image display area and an image to be displayed in the other area. The display device includes a display unit to display an entire image, and a luminance correction controller to correct luminance of the entire image. The entire image is an image in which a first image displayed in a first display area being an area except a second display area is superimposed by a second image displayed in the second display area that is set in a part of the image display area. The luminance correction controller respectively corrects the luminance of the first and second images by using the first and second luminance correction coefficients. The display unit displays first and the second images each having corrected luminance respectively in the first and second display areas.

  • Patent number: 9445484
    Abstract: In the case where luminance of light to be irradiated onto a multi-screen is not homogenized over the entire multi-screen, each of an image display apparatus and image display apparatuses carries out a homogenizing process of light to be irradiated onto a multi-screen over the entire multi-screen.

  • Patent number: 9207526
    Abstract: A projection type video display includes a light source including light source parts, which are the LED arrays each including six LEDs, for every predetermined colors; a light source controller time-division driving each of the light source parts at a timing based on an input video signal to be input from the outside; and a video display device modulating light emitted from each of the light source parts based on the input video signal and projecting the modulated light onto a screen, wherein the light source controller controls only three LEDs among the six LEDs to turn on in each driving of the time-division driving of each of the light source parts.

  • Patent number: 6083289
    Abstract: The use of pulverized coal as the fuel to be injected into metallurgical or combustion furnace becomes possible enabled by improving the transportability thereof. Further, a pulverized coal is provided, which is inhibiting from bridging or channeling in a hopper, or piping choking. A water-soluble inorganic salt having a polar group is made to adhere to pulverized coal which is prepared from raw coal having an average HGI of 30 or above and which is in a dry state at the injection port of a metallurgical or combustion furnace, The inorganic salt is selected from among BaCl.sub.2, CaCl.sub.2, Ca(NO.sub.2).sub.2, Ca(NO.sub.3).sub.2, Ca(ClO).sub.2, K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, KCl, MgCl.sub.2, MgSO.sub.4, NH.sub.4 BF.sub.4, NH.sub.4 Cl, (NH.sub.4).sub.2 SO.sub.4, Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3, NaCl, NaClO.sub.3, NaNO.sub.2, NaNO.sub.3, NaOH, Na.sub.2 S.sub.2 O.sub.3, Na.sub.2 S.sub.2 O.sub.5, HNO.sub.3, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, H.sub.2 CO.sub.3, and HCl.

  • Patent number: 4662966
    Abstract: A transfer printing machine in which the articles to be transfer-printed are held in a holder made of a material which does not substantially expand when heated and the articles are heated by an infrared radiation heater to a predetermined temperature. A transfer sheet having symbols and/or designs formed thereon with thermo-diffusible dye is pressed by a pressing pad against the surface of the articles so that the symbols and/or designs are transfer-printed on the surfaces of the heated articles.
