  • Publication number: 20060202565
    Abstract: A first yoke member is received on a first reference plane defined on a support body. A second yoke member is coupled to the first yoke member so as to define a space for accommodation of a voice coil between the first and second yoke members. The second yoke member is opposed to a second reference plane, different from the first reference plane, defined on the support body. A screw member is engaged with the second yoke member for movement in the direction intersecting the second reference plane. The second yoke member is received on the second reference plane of the support body based on the movement of the screw member. Even if a gap happens to exist between the second yoke member and the second reference plane due to dimensional errors, the second yoke member is reliably supported on the support body.

  • Patent number: 6977635
    Abstract: A line inverse driving method is performed by outputting voltages for gradation display in mutually reverse polarities with respect to pixels adjacent in a data signal line direction. A separation switch is provided between an output stage of a data driver and a data signal line to separate them. In a blanking period, the data signal line is cut off, and in the selection-scanning period of a scanning signal line to be scanned first, the scanning signal line to be scanned next is also subjected to the selection-scanning. With this structure, respective charges in adjacent pixel capacitors are neutralized, and it is therefore possible to reduce a power consumption. Further, since a short-circuit can be performed at short distance, the problem of dull waveform can be suppressed, thereby realizing an image display device suited for a large screen.

  • Patent number: 6603466
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes source drivers connected in cascade, each of which is provided with a data latch output circuit for converting input display data into parallel data and a data output control circuit for converting the display data into serial data and outputting the serial data to the next source driver. The data latch output circuit divides and fetches the display data at both of the leading and trailing edges of a transfer-use clock signal of each source driver. With this structure, the clock frequency of the transfer-use clock signal can be made lower than a necessary data transfer rate of the display data while stabilizing the transfer of the display data. It is therefore possible to widen the operating frequency range of the transfer-use clock signal, and provide a highly reliable semiconductor device and a display device module using the semiconductor device.
