Abstract: To maintain good operation of a peripheral circuit using an oxide thin film transistor in a liquid crystal display panel to which photo alignment is applied, the liquid crystal display panel includes: a transparent substrate provided with an oxide thin film transistor in the periphery of a pixel portion in which pixel electrodes are arranged, to control the pixel electrodes; and an alignment film to align liquid crystal provided in the pixel portion. The alignment film is subjected to photo alignment treatment by ultraviolet irradiation. Further, an ultraviolet absorbing layer is provided so as to cover the oxide thin film transistor. For example, an alignment film is used for the ultraviolet absorbing layer to absorb the ultraviolet light for the photo aliment treatment of the alignment film, in the peripheral circuit portion for controlling the pixel electrodes, thereby preventing the threshold voltage of the oxide thin film transistor from shifting.

Abstract: By obtaining an atmospheric pressure learning value by applying filtering to an estimated atmospheric pressure found from an estimated atmospheric pressure map in an atmospheric pressure learning region matched in advance, and by constantly updating this atmospheric pressure learning value, stable and highly reliable atmospheric pressure estimation can be achieved. Also, a pre-set parameter value or the last atmospheric pressure learning value is used as the initial atmospheric pressure value and an unstable intake pressure value at the engine start in a battery-less state is not used. Hence, it becomes possible to provide an estimated atmospheric pressure with which high drivability is achievable by fully exploiting the engine performance as soon as the engine is started.

Abstract: A thin film transistor includes a drain electrode layer and a source electrode layer that are formed above an oxide semiconductor layer via an insulating film. The drain electrode layer and the source electrode layer are electrically connected with the oxide semiconductor layer via through-holes formed in the insulating film. A first through-hole that electrically connects the drain electrode layer with the oxide semiconductor layer and a second through-hole that electrically connects the source electrode layer with the oxide semiconductor layer each include two or more through-holes that are arranged in parallel in a channel width direction of the thin film transistor. A total width of opening widths of the first or second through-holes in the channel width direction is a channel width of the thin film transistor.

Abstract: By driving a fuel pump suitably to an amount of fuel according to an amount of fuel consumed by an engine and by monitoring an actual motor speed of the fuel pump, F/B control is carried out according to a target motor speed and the actual motor speed of the fuel pump. Meanwhile, by learning and storing a duty value comparable to a deviation between the target and actual motor speeds, duty driving of the fuel pump is corrected to suit an engine condition. It thus becomes possible to provide a fuel pump control apparatus of an engine capable of promoting power saving by suppressing a wasteful energy loss including a current consumption and making an internal circuit of an ECU simpler by enhancing fuel supply accuracy.
