Abstract: An image display device and controlling method capable of optimizing a state of the image display device for a user at a desired position. The display device includes: an imaging section that takes an image of a predetermined range of a dynamic image with respect to an image display direction; an image analyzing section that analyzes the dynamic image taken by the imaging section and calculates a position of a user; a system optimization processing section that calculates system control information for optimizing a system based on the position of the user calculated by the image analyzing section; and a system controlling section that optimizes the system based on the system control information calculated by the system optimization processing section.

Abstract: To provide a display method capable of displaying the original power saving effect if a monitoring display of the power saving effect is not made when the monitoring display of the power saving effect is made. Provided is a display method including capturing an image in front of an image display surface included in a display apparatus that displays the image and detecting presence of a moving body positioned in front of the image display surface, deciding a power saving amount of the display apparatus including the power saving amount of the image display surface by using an analysis result of the presence or absence of a human face and a detection result of the moving body in the captured image, and deriving and displaying the actual power saving amount when no display is made on the image display surface on the image display surface when information about the power saving amount is displayed on the image display surface.

Abstract: A laminate type ceramic electronic component includes a thick film resistor and an overcoat layer so as to prevent defects such as delamination from being caused and to prevent the thick film resistor from being cracked after laser trimming, even when a method is adopted in which an unfired composite laminate is subjected to firing in such a way that an unfired ceramic laminate, an unfired thick film resistor, and an unfired overcoat layer are each integrally sintered. The unfired overcoat layer includes a glass ceramic material containing a ceramic and glass having substantially the same constituents and compositional ratio as those of the glass contained in the unfired ceramic layer.

Abstract: Provided is a display device including an imaging unit that captures a moving image in a predetermined range in an image display direction, a moving body detection unit that detects whether or not a moving body is present in a predetermined range in the image display direction, an image analysis unit that analyzes the moving image captured by the imaging unit to detect whether or not a face is present, and a power control unit that controls power consumption with different patterns according to a plurality of modes that are set by combining whether or not the face detected by the image analysis unit is present and whether or not the moving body detected by the detection unit is present.

Abstract: A laminate includes base material layers and interlayer constraining layers disposed therebetween. The base material layers are formed of a sintered body of a first powder including a glass material and a first ceramic material, and the interlayer constraining layer includes a second powder including a second ceramic material that will not be sintered at a temperature for melting the glass material, and is in such a state that the second powder adheres together by diffusion or flow of a portion of the first powder including the glass material included in the base material layer at the time of baking. The incorporated element is in such a state that an entire periphery thereof is covered with the interlayer constraining layer.

Abstract: When a multilayer ceramic substrate with a cavity is reduced in thickness, a bottom wall portion defining the bottom of the cavity is reduced in thickness, thereby leading to the problem that the bottom wall portion is likely to be broken. A bottom wall portion defining a cavity of a multilayer ceramic substrate has a stack structure formed with a high thermal expansion coefficient layer sandwiched between first and second low thermal expansion coefficient layers. This configuration generates compression stress in the low thermal expansion coefficient layers during a cooling process after firing, thereby allowing the mechanical strength at the bottom wall portion to be improved.

Abstract: In a multilayer ceramic substrate having a cavity, base-material layers are arranged on a base side with respect to an interface between the base and a wall defining a cavity, and a constraining interlayer is arranged on the wall side. A conductive film is arranged between the base-material layers and the constraining interlayer, the base-material layers and the constraining interlayer sandwiching the interface. The effect of the first conductive film results in an increase in the adhesion of the constraining interlayer to the substrate layers, thus enhancing a shrinkage-inhibiting effect of the constraining interlayer.
