  • Patent number: 5994008
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for forming a fluorescent film for a display and a method of forming a fluorescent film for forming a display surface of a display unit. The composition for forming a fluorescent film for a display has an aqueous medium in which photosensitive resin having a styryl pyridium photosensitive group having an internal salt structure and a fluorescent material which easily reacts with acid are dispersed. The composition is applied to the display surface of a display unit so that a fluorescent layer is formed. Then, the fluorescent material layer is developed to form the fluorescent material layer into a predetermined pattern, and then the fluorescent material layer formed into the predetermined pattern is baked so that a fluorescent film is formed.

  • Patent number: 5345269
    Abstract: In an adaptive prediction encoding device which carries out adaptive encoding of a digital picture signal by making a selector adaptively select a two-previous predictor, a previous field predictor, and a higher order intraline predictor in accordance with the digital picture signal, a first selection forcing circuit forces a selector to select the higher order intraline predictor at first timing of fixed scanning lines which periodically appear at a period of (2N+1) scanning lines in each field of successive frames of the digital picture signal, where N represents a natural number. A second selection forcing circuit forces the selector to select the higher order intraline predictor at second timing of additional scanning lines which precede the fixed scanning lines by (m-1) scanning lines in each field of an m-th frame of the digital picture signal, where m consecutively varies from 2 to (2N+1) which is equal to M.
