20160042614 | GAMING MACHINE - Probability of prize occurrence is easily controlled without provision of a blank between symbols on a reel. A gaming machine comprises: a lower image display panel configured to variably display a plurality of symbol arrays with a plurality of symbols including normal symbols and specific symbols more advantageous than the normal symbols, and then display a game result by rearranging the symbols in a symbol display region containing a matrix of cells; bet buttons capable of receiving a bet; and a controller configured to run a normal game which rearranges symbols on the symbol display device on condition that a bet is placed, the controller is configured to modify the symbols arrayed in the plurality of symbol arrays, so that the ratios of the specific symbols to the total number of the symbols in all the symbol arrays increases with an increase in the bet amount. | 02-11-2016 |

20100273386 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME, AND PORTABLE TELEPHONE USING THE SAME - A liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display panel and a semiconductor integrated circuit for driving and controlling the liquid crystal display panel. The number of input/output wires connected to I/O terminals (bonding pads) of the semiconductor integrated circuit is reduced so as to simplify wiring patterns of the I/O wires, whereby degrees of freedom in arranging the I/O wiring patterns are enhanced. The panel has a pair of insulating substrate, and the semiconductor integrated circuit is mounted on one of the paired substrates. The semiconductor integrated circuit has a mode terminal which is fixed to a power supply potential or to a reference potential during operation of the integrated circuit, and power supply dummy terminals connected to the power supply potential or reference potential inside the semiconductor integrated circuit. The wiring patterns formed on the paired insulating substrates connect the mode terminal to the power supply dummy terminals. | 10-28-2010 |

20130293796 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY CONTROLLER AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - In conventional liquid crystal display controllers, the display is reduced in the stand-by state but the liquid crystal display duty is not changed, i.e., even the common electrodes of the rows that are not producing display are scanned, and the consumption of electric power is not decreased to a sufficient degree in the stand-by state. A liquid crystal display controller includes a drive duty selection register capable of being rewritten by a microprocessor, and a drive bias selection register. When the display is changed from the whole display on a liquid crystal display panel to a partial display on part of the rows only, the preset values of the drive duty selection register and of the drive bias selection register are changed, so that the display is selectively produced on a portion of the liquid crystal display panel at a low voltage with a low-duty drive. | 11-07-2013 |
