20080212271 | Display element, portable equipment and imaging device - A flexible display element capable of being rolled up and unfurled, comprises a back plate covering a back side of the display element, wherein the back plate comes into contact with the back side of the display element when the display element is rolled up, and at least a central portion of the back plate is separated from the display element to support the display element in a flat shape when the display element is unfurled. Thus, the display element and the back plate can be rolled up and carried with a simple configuration of the display element and the back plate, and the display element can be supported in a flat shape when unfurled. Therefore, it is possible to provide a flexible display element having high portability, ease of rolling, and retention of flatness during periods of use. | 09-04-2008 |
20100149355 | REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE, METHOD AND SYSTEM - According to a remote control device of the present invention, the operation situation according to the transmission of the remote control signal is judged based on a changing brightness of the image, and the information of the content according to the result of judgment is displayed. Thereby, it is possible to investigate a reaction of the apparatus to be controlled to the remote control signal, and visually indicate the reaction to the user. | 06-17-2010 |
20100177038 | PORTABLE DEVICE - According to the portable device of an aspect of the present invention, the first enclosure and the second enclosure are brought into movable linkage between the first position where the silhouettes of the first enclosure and the second enclosure are overlapped and the second position where the second enclosure is moved in parallel from the first position. In addition, the first enclosure and the second enclosure are rotatably and movably linked between the first position and the third position where the second enclosure is rotatably moved from the first position at a predetermined angle. | 07-15-2010 |
20100182288 | DISPLAY ELEMENT, PORTABLE EQUIPMENT AND IMAGING DEVICE - A portable equipment includes a flexible display element capable of being rolled up and unfurled, the display element including a back plate on a back side of the display element, which comes into contact with the display element when the display element is rolled up, and is bent such that at least a central portion of the back plate is separated from the display element due to a bend when the display element is unfurled, flatness of the display element being kept by a structure made up of the display element and the back plate when the display element is unfurled, and a pull-out slot for the display element on a main body of the portable equipment. The pull-out slot is flattened by a predetermined amount from a cross-sectional shape of the unrolled back plate, and has a clearance formed on a portion facing a surface of the display element. | 07-22-2010 |
20110273826 | Display element, portable equipment and imaging device - An electronic device includes a display unit that includes a flexible display element which displays an image on a front surface thereof, and a member which is placed facing a rear surface opposite to the front surface of the flexible display element, in which the member applies tension to the flexible display element when the flexible display element is unfurled. | 11-10-2011 |
20120019701 | CAMERA WITH MONITOR - A monitor with a large screen is provided at the back of the camera. In the recording mode, a preview image or a captured image is displayed in a part of the monitor where there is little possibility of being covered by the hand of the operator. In the reproducing mode, a reproduced image is displayed on substantially the entire screen of the monitor. A touch panel is provided over the monitor, and operation buttons such as a zoom operation button and an exposure correcting button are displayed on a part of the monitor where no image is displayed in the recording mode. Therefore, the part of the monitor can also be used as a camera operational part. | 01-26-2012 |
20120075522 | DISPLAY DEVICE - The present invention provides a display device which has a display unit on a main body, comprising a cover member that can be deformed into a first shape for covering the display unit and a second shape for forming a grip in order to solve the problems in the conventional cameras. The problem is such that the size of the camera becomes large by the size of the grip, which impairs portability of the camera because the conventional camera provides a fixed grip on the camera body on which a display unit with a large screen is mounted. In addition, another conventional camera has a space for accommodating the cover members within the grip, so that the size of the grip becomes accordingly large and thus the camera itself becomes large. | 03-29-2012 |
20140320726 | DISPLAY DEVICE - The present invention provides a display device which has a display unit on a main body, comprising a cover member that can be deformed into a first shape for covering the display unit and a second shape for forming a grip in order to solve the problems in the conventional cameras. The problem is such that the size of the camera becomes large by the size of the grip, which impairs portability of the camera because the conventional camera provides a fixed grip on the camera body on which a display unit with a large screen is mounted. In addition, another conventional camera has a space for accommodating the cover members within the grip, so that the size of the grip becomes accordingly large and thus the camera itself becomes large. | 10-30-2014 |
