  • Patent number: 11935485
    Abstract: A display device that includes a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines, and a pixel unit in which a pixel is specified by the scanning line and the data line, in which image data of one line is simultaneously displayed for a plurality of adjacent scanning lines, image data to be simultaneously displayed is made different between an N frame and an (N+1) frame that are temporally consecutive, and the image data is shifted by one line, and the image data of a last scanning line of at least one of the N frame or the (N+1) frame is hidden.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7623210
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus according to the present embodiment has pixel electrodes arranged in a first and a second directions crossed each other; a signal line formed in a lower layer of the pixel electrode and extending in the second direction between the pixel electrodes arranged in the first direction; a scan line formed in a lower layer of the pixel electrode and extending in the first direction; a switching device formed so as to correspond to the pixel electrodes and connected to the signal line, the scan line, and the pixel electrode; and an insulating layer formed between the pixel electrode and a lower layer including the signal line and the scan line, and having a surface step in a region between the pixel electrodes. An edge portion of the pixel electrode is formed to overlap the surface step of the insulating layer.

  • Publication number: 20080151163
    Abstract: An optical compensation panel is disclosed. The optical compensation panel includes a first optical compensation layer, a second optical compensation layer and an adhesive layer for bonding the first optical compensation layer and the second optical compensation layer so as to face each other, wherein the adhesive layer is made of a photopolymerization material, photopolymerization of which is started by a photopolymerization initiator upon irradiation with light, with the photopolymerization initiator being contained in an amount of from 2 to 5% by weight relative to the photopolymerization material in starting the photopolymerization, and the adhesive layer is formed so as to have a rate of change in glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer falling within 150% and a rate of change in weight of the adhesive layer falling within 5% before and after an annealing treatment.
