Abstract: In the present display device, LEDs are controlled to be lit up in an alternating manner where BG-LEDs (34) and BR-LEDs (35) are controlled to be lit up alternatingly every half of one frame period, such that only G display elements are used for display in a first subframe where the BG-LEDs (34) are lit up, and only B and R display elements are used for display in a second subframe where the BR-LEDs (35) are lit up. As a result, even in the case where crosstalk occurs (with respect to color filters of a certain color), display elements of colors for which such crosstalk can be inhibited or eliminated are simply used for display so that a reduction in color reproducibility can be inhibited or eliminated.

Abstract: A liquid crystal panel (2) is equipped with a first transparent substrate (21) on which a TFT is formed, a second transparent substrate (22), and a liquid crystal layer (23) interposed therebetween. An illumination device is disposed on the first transparent substrate side of the liquid crystal panel. When viewed along the normal direction of the primary surfaces of the first and second transparent substrates, a portion of the first transparent substrate protrudes beyond the second transparent substrate and a portion of the second transparent substrate protrudes beyond the first transparent substrate. The portion of the second transparent substrate which protrudes beyond the first transparent substrate is supported by a support part (41). Thus, it is possible to reduce display anomalies generated when pressure is applied to the display screen by a finger or the like.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing sponge iron and an apparatus for charging in the method are disclosed. Iron oxide powder and reducing-agent powder are charged such that alternating layers of the iron oxide powder and the reducing-agent powder are formed and such that each of the layers is in the form of a helix, and then a reduction treatment is performed. The method has not only high reaction efficiency of a gas, high quality, and high productivity, but also the advantage for a production adjustment because the amount of charge can be adjusted without the limitation of a reduction time. The molar ratio of the carbon content in the reducing agent to the oxygen content in the iron oxide in the reaction container is preferably 1.1 or more.

Abstract: A fluid control valve assembly for use in a hydraulic system, comprises: a valve body having a valve cavity extending axially thereof and fluid inlet and outlet ports communicating respectively with discharge and suction ports of a fluid feed pump; a valve spool received in the valve cavity and having at least one annular groove formed therein, the valve body and the valve spool defining in combination high-pressure and low-pressure chambers in the valve cavity.
