Abstract: The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method, a display apparatus and method, and an electronic apparatus in which a driver can be controlled by superposing panel setting data on an image signal. For example, a controller (63) supplies driver control signals to an image processor (61) by serial communications. The image processor (61) stores digital signals input from a video-signal processor (12) in a video memory (14), and reads the digital signals and executes predetermined signal processing as needed, thereby converting the digital signals into video signals having horizontal and vertical blanking periods. At this time, the image processor (61) superposes panel setting data in accordance with the driver control signals from the controller (63) on the vertical blanking periods of the converted video signals.

Abstract: A method of dusting-preventive treatment in which a powder having dusting property is treated with fibril-forming PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) to impart non-dusting property thereto and the non-dusting property of the powder, after having been reduced during transportation, are economically and advantageously recovered or improved through a relatively simple step. The method comprises: a first dusting-preventive treatment step in which fibril-forming polytetrafluoroethylene is added to a powder having dusting property, and a compression/shear force is exerted to the mixture at a temperature in the range of 20 to 200° C. to thereby regulate powder so as to have a flow value of 150 mm to 200 mm; and a second dusting-preventive treatment step in which a compression/shear force is exerted again at a temperature in the range of 50 to 150° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image display device which can be applied to an electronic still camera, for example. The image display device has a single circuit for processing of image data for display that can be used in common for liquid crystal display units which are different in arrangement of color filters. The image display device according to the present invention sequentially selects color data (DR, DG, DB) and corrects phase characteristics and sends out the results. It permits the order of color data selection and phase characteristics to be established as desired.

Abstract: In a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit having a function of automatically adjusting the free-running frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), the number of pulses of a pulse signal output from the VCO in a period in which a comparison signal output from a phase comparator is at a predetermined level is counted, and a microcomputer updates digital data based on the counted value. The digital data is converted into an analog signal by a digital-to-analog converter. A combiner combines the analog signal with a signal obtained by smoothing the comparison signal of the phase comparator by a low-pass filter so as to generate a frequency control signal of the VCO.

Abstract: Dust-control treatment of dusty powder, which mainly passes through a 100 mesh sieve, such as pigment and fertilizer, is achieved by, firstly blending the dusty powder with fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene and a pair of materials capable of initiating an exothermic reaction upon contact, and then subjecting the blended material to compression-shear under the exothermic reaction and raising the temperature of the blended material to 50.degree.-300.degree. C. The polytetrafluoroethylene fibrillates during the compression-shear and the formed fibrils enclose the dusty powder to turn it to a dust-controlled one.
