  • Patent number: 8913389
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat radiation device, which is in contact with a first heat-producing component having a higher value of guaranteed temperature and a second heat-producing component having a lower value of guaranteed temperature, and the heat radiation device comprises a metal member provided with a slit. The metal member is divided by the slit to have two heat radiation regions, a first heat radiation region and a second heat radiation region that are loosely coupled with each other in terms of heat conduction. The first heat-producing component is placed in contact with the first heat radiation region, and the second heat-producing component is placed in contact with the second heat radiation region.

  • Patent number: 8330343
    Abstract: A plasma display device includes a plasma display panel, a chassis disposed on the plasma display panel with a heat-conducting sheet in between, a small-signal processing circuit board disposed on a rear face of the chassis, a thermal sensor, a thermal sensor fixture for installing the thermal sensor, a front frame, and a back cover having a ventilation area with multiple ventilating holes. The thermal sensor fixture has a shielding wall around the thermal sensor and is disposed on a rear face of the small-signal processing circuit board. The thermal sensor is disposed at an intermediate position between the plasma display panel and the back cover at a position facing the back cover.

  • Patent number: 5684502
    Abstract: A driving apparatus for a liquid crystal display of a type sandwiching a layer of liquid crystal material capable of responding to a voltage of an effective value applied between row and column electrodes. The apparatus includes an image data buffer memory for storing and outputting a digital image data of one frame, transferred from an external circuit, in the form of an image data matrix; a matrix generator for outputting data having a predetermined orthogonal matrix; a converter for converting the image data with the use of the orthogonal matrix into an converted data matrix and for outputting the converted data matrix; a converted data buffer memory for storing and outputting the converted data matrix; a driver for driving the liquid crystal display in synchronism with a row signal, which applies the orthogonal matrix to the row electrodes of the liquid crystal display, and also a column signal which applies the converted data matrix to the column electrodes of the liquid crystal display.

  • Patent number: 5657043
    Abstract: A driving apparatus for driving a passive matrix liquid crystal display utilizing an active driving method includes an image buffer storage for storing one frame of image data in the form of a matrix to output image data on a column by column basis to produce a rearranged image data. A matrix generator generates row data. A data converter multiplies the rearranged image data with row vectors to produce converted data. A converted data buffer storage stores the converted data and outputs the data on a row by row basis to produce a column data. A LCD driver is provided for producing a column signal based on the column data and a row signal based on the row data, and further for applying these row and column signals to row and column electrodes, respectively, to drive the LCD.
