20090245664 | IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE - The present invention provides an image encoding device which does not necessitate reference of a quantization parameter between consecutive macroblocks across a parallel processing area boundary without forming slices. The image encoding device encodes a macroblock of an encoding target image by parallel processing sequentially from the top of a parallel processing area, and possesses an encoding element for every parallel processing area.

20150060816 | ORGANIC EL DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ORGANIC EL DISPLAY DEVICE - An organic EL display device includes: a lower electrode; an upper electrode; a first organic layer which is disposed between the lower electrode and the upper electrode and is formed of a plurality of layers including a light emitting layer formed of an organic material that emits light; a metal wire that extends between the pixels within the display region; and a second organic layer which is formed of a plurality of layers the same as that of the first organic layer and which comes into contact with a part of the metal wire and does not come into contact with the first organic layer. The upper electrode comes into contact with the metal wire in the periphery of the second organic layer. Accordingly, it is possible to uniformize the potential of the upper electrode without reducing the light emission area. | 03-05-2015 |
20150060826 | LIGHT EMITTING DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A light emitting display device includes a first substrate having a display area in which pixels are arranged in a matrix. The first substrate includes: a light emitting organic layer that includes a light emitting layer that emits a light in the pixels, and is made of an organic material; first electrodes that are one of two electrodes arranged to sandwich the light emitting organic layer therebetween, and arranged in the respective pixels, independently; a second electrode that is the other of the two electrodes, and arranged to cover the overall display area; and insulating banks that cover ends of the first electrodes, and are arranged to bring the electrodes between the respective pixels out of contact with each other. A surface of the insulating banks has roughness with a cycle equal to or larger than a visible light wavelength, and smaller than a thickness of the insulating banks. | 03-05-2015 |
20150085231 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal display panel including pixels each having an active device, a pixel electrode, a common electrode and a liquid crystal layer arranged in a dot matrix array. The liquid crystal display panel has a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate has the active device, the pixel electrode, the common electrode and a first alignment film. The second substrate has a second alignment film. The first alignment film and the second alignment film are respectively a photo alignment film formed by irradiating a photo decomposition type insulating film with light. The second alignment film has a thickness of at least 10 nm and no greater 50 nm and is thinner than the first alignment film. | 03-26-2015 |
