Abstract: An optical film 40 includes a sheet-shaped base material 41; an information pattern including a plurality of marks 42 provided on one surface of the base material 41 and representing information regarding a position thereof on the optical film 40; and a sheet member 43 laminated on the surface of the base material 41 on which the information pattern is provided, so as to fill spaces between the plurality of marks 42. When visible light having a wavelength of 700 nm is transmitted through the information pattern in a thickness direction of the information pattern, a phase difference between light transmitted through each mark 42 and light transmitted through the sheet member 43 between the marks 42 is equal to or less than ?/6.

Abstract: A display device 2 includes: a display panel 50 having a display area; and a plurality of position information patterns 3 arranged on the display area and each representing information regarding a position thereof on the display area. Each position information pattern 3 is formed of a plurality of optically readable marks 31 that are formed from a material that transmits visible light. On the display area, a plurality of sub-pixels 5R, 5G, and 5B whose colors are different from each other are repeatedly aligned in a determined alignment direction. A length L between both ends of the mark 31 in the alignment direction meets a relational expression of n×P+w?L?(n+1)×P?w (n is an integer of 0 or greater) where a width of the sub-pixel in the alignment direction is w and a pitch between the pixels 5 in the alignment direction is P.

Abstract: An image display apparatus capable of displaying a 3D image includes: an image display section including partition regions partitioned in a row direction and a column direction; a display control section; and a light control section arranged at a front surface side of the image display section and including a plurality of separation elements each configured to separate light of the right eye image and light of the left eye image in displaying the 3D image. Each separation element is arranged so as to extend linearly and be tilted with respect to the column direction, and an arrangement pitch of the separation element in the row direction is non-integer times that of an arrangement pitch of the partition region in the row direction, the integer times being less than 4.5 times.

Abstract: In an information providing system, when a plurality of Java (registered trademark) applications (28 and 29) which can run simultaneously on an extended functional module (27) are installed into the extended functional module (27), application management modules (32 and 34) manage the operations of the plurality of Java applications (28 and 29), respectively. Thereby, the information providing system can make the plurality of Java applications (28 and 29) operate simultaneously without causing a resource conflict.

Abstract: At least one graphic element includes basic element data of an image, such as a menu, and attributes of the basic element. At least one animation element associated with the graphic element describes a condition and a procedure for dynamically changing an attribute of the graphic element when the condition is fulfilled. The graphic element and the animation element are stored as drawing data. When the condition is fulfilled, the procedure described in the animation element is executed so that an attribute of the graphic element is changed.
