A sustain pulse generating circuit generates sustain pulses by selecting any one of a plurality of driving patterns, according to an all-cell light-emitting rate and a partial light-emitting rate. A loading correction part of the image signal processing circuit includes: number of lit cells calculator for calculating the number of discharge cells to be lit in each display electrode pair, in each subfield; load value calculator for calculating a load value of each discharge cell, according to the calculation result in number of lit cells calculator; correction gain calculator for calculating a correction gain of each discharge cell, according the calculation result in load value calculator, the driving pattern selected, and the position of the discharge cell; and corrector for correcting an input image signal, according to the output from correction gain calculator. | 2011-09-08 |
| 20110216109 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A multiple primary color display device which suppresses the reduction in the display quality when an input signal corresponding to green in an sRGB color space is input from outside is provided. A display device according to the present invention has a pixel defined by a plurality of sub pixels. The plurality of sub pixels include at least a red sub pixel for displaying red, a green sub pixel for displaying green, a blue sub pixel for displaying blue, and a yellow sub pixel for displaying yellow. When an input signal corresponding to green in the sRGB color space is input from outside, the display device according to the present invention provides display using the yellow sub pixel in addition to the green sub pixel. | 2011-09-08 |
| 20110216110 | DATA GENERATING APPARATUS, INK-JET PRINTING APPARATUS, AND DATA GENERATING METHOD - Processing liquid is ejected by a scan which is as prior as possible to the ink if it is determined that the printing duty of the ink is relatively low. Furthermore, the processing liquid is ejected by a scan which is as posterior as possible to the ink if it is determined that the printing duty of the ink is relatively high. Accordingly, the change of the glossiness can be suppressed regardless of the change of the printing duty of the ink. At the same time, it becomes possible to adjust the glossiness with a minimum necessary amount of processing liquid since the glossiness is adjusted not by varying the amount of the processing liquid depending on the printing duty of the ink, but by varying the printing order. | 2011-09-08 |
| 20110216111 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Disclosed is an image forming apparatus that includes a recording head, a liquid tank, a first flow path, a second flow path, a pressure regulation unit, a third flow path, and a liquid supply unit. The pressure regulation unit varies fluid resistance in accordance with a remaining amount of liquid inside the liquid tank, decreases the fluid resistance if the remaining amount of the liquid is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, increases the fluid resistance if the remaining amount of the liquid is less than the predetermined amount, and supplies the liquid with the liquid supply unit to eject liquid droplets from the recording head, thereby generating a circulation flow that flows through the third flow path and the flow path of the pressure regulation unit. | 2011-09-08 |
