  • Patent number: 7209103
    Abstract: A projector includes a liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal display panel and a display control device coupled to the liquid crystal display panel. The display control device is composed of a first section for receiving an externally supplied video signal, and a second section succeeding the first section and coupled to the liquid crystal display panel. The second section is formed of a circuit for amplifying and converting the video signal into an ac signal supplied from the first section, and a drive pulse circuit for outputting drive pulses for driving the liquid crystal display panel. The first section and the second section are fabricated on first and second substrates separate from each other, respectively. The second section is disposed proximately to the liquid crystal display panel, and the first section and the second section are coupled via a flexible cable.

  • Publication number: 20060139239
    Abstract: The present invention, in a projector, prevents the generation of a color domain which is generated attributed to the orientation direction having a pretilt angle. In a projector including a light source, a plurality of liquid crystal display panels which modify light irradiated from the light source, and a screen to which the light modified by the respective liquid crystal display panels is projected, the orientation direction of one liquid crystal display panel out of a plurality of liquid crystal display panels differs from the orientation direction of other liquid crystal display panels and the orientation directions of the liquid crystal display panels are aligned on the screen.
