Abstract: An electrode structure includes: a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged separately from each other; and a plurality of dielectric layers laminated in a first direction with respect to the plurality of pixel electrodes, in which the plurality of dielectric layers includes: a first dielectric layer that spreads over the plurality of pixel electrodes in a direction intersecting with the first direction; and a second dielectric layer that includes dielectric material having a refractive index higher than that of the first dielectric layer, sandwiches the first dielectric layer together with the plurality of pixel electrodes, and has a slit at a position overlapping space between pixel electrodes adjacent when viewed from the first direction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fluorine-containing ether compound represented by the following Formula. R1-[B]-[A]-CH2—R2—CH2-[C]-[D]-R3 (R2 is a perfluoropolyether chain; [A] is Formula (2-1); [B] is Formula (2-2); [C] is Formula (3-1); [D] is Formula (3-2); R3 is Formula (4); and R1 is a terminal group.

Abstract: A fluorine-containing ether compound represented by the following formula (1) is provided. R1—CH2—R2—CH2—R3 (1) (In the formula (1), R1 is an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, R2 is a perfluoropolyether chain, R3 is —OCH2CH(OH)CH2O(CH2)mOH (in in the formula is an integer of 2 to 4).

Abstract: An on-screen signal processing apparatus comprises a first display memory for storing binary image data, a second display memory for storing decoration data (i.e., “attribute data”) for decorating the binary image data stored in the first display memory in a unit of a fixed plurality of pixels, and a first color look-up table for storing data concerning a character color and a background color for decorating the binary image data stored in the first display memory. A first converter reads the binary image data of the first display memory and the decoration data of the second display memory every unit of the fixed plurality of pixels and searches the first color look-up table based on the character color and the background color designated in the decoration data, and further performs color-conversion to the binary image data of the first display memory.

Abstract: A television apparatus equipped with speech recognition function which allows the television apparatus to operate in accordance with a unit of language having an operable superordinate concept or makes the television apparatus operate after changing the operation mode, when a unit of language uttered by a user is unacceptable, is provided. The television apparatus according to the present invention judges whether it is possible for said television apparatus to operate in accordance with a speech code which is accepted under the current operation mode, and operates under this operation mode when it is possible to operate. When it is not possible to operate, if there is a speech code having an operable superordinate concept, the television apparatus operates in accordance with the speech code having the operable superordinate concept.
