  • Patent number: 9008494
    Abstract: The reproduction unit includes a reproducing unit that reproduces three-dimensional (3D) content recorded on a content recording medium, and a display control unit that displays a two-dimensional (2D) image of the 3D content on a parent screen having a predetermined size within a display screen when an interlace operation is executed with respect to a 3D image of the 3D content during reproduction by the reproducing unit, and displays the 3D image of the 3D content on a child screen having a size smaller than the predetermined size within the display screen.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120027376
    Abstract: A reproducing apparatus includes a reproducing section that reproduces 3D contents stored on a content-recording medium; and a display controller that displays a 3D content in 2D images during a predetermined time period after the completion of a jumping operation in the case where the jumping operation has been performed on the 3D images of the 3D content during the reproduction performed on the 3D images of the 3D content by the reproducing section.

  • Publication number: 20120014660
    Abstract: A playback apparatus includes the following elements. A playback unit play backs 3D content recorded on a content recording medium. An OSD screen generator generates an OSD screen which is displayed by being superposed on a 3D image of the 3D content. An image processor generates a 3D image by changing an amount of parallax of the 3D image and combines the generated 3D image with the OSD screen. When the OSD screen is to be displayed while the 3D content is being played back, the image processor generates a 3D image by gradually decreasing a pop-out amount of the 3D image and combines the generated 3D image with the OSD screen. When the displayed OSD screen is to be erased, the image processor generates a 3D image by gradually increasing the decreased pop-out amount to the original pop-out amount, and combines the generated 3D image with the OSD screen.

  • Patent number: 5252988
    Abstract: A thermal head for a thermal recording machine including an insulating substrate which is composed of a printed circuit board made of a heat resistant resin and covered with a copper film, a plurality of thermal resistors disposed on the insulating substrate in the direction corresponding to the scanning, discrete electrodes electrically connecting first ends of the thermal resistors to a control element, a common electrode electrically connecting the other ends of the thermal resistors together, a heat releasing layer formed of the copper film of the insulating substrate on the lower portions of the thermal resistors, and a thermal accumulating layer of a polyimide resin covering the heat releasing layer.

  • Patent number: 5036897
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a thermal printing head includes forming a layer of polyimide resin precursor on a heat-resistant resin substrate on which two parallel common electrodes and a large number of lead electrodes are formed beforehand in such a manner that the lead electrodes are separated from the common electrodes by a predetermined distance and are disposed on one side of the common electrodes in a vertical direction. It further includes performing a first etching on the layer of polyimide resin precursor such that a predetermined pattern is formed.
