| 20090212299 | DISPLAY ELEMENT - A thin film transistor layer including a thin film transistor is formed at a liquid crystal layer side of a color filter layer on an array substrate. Since it becomes possible to form the color filter layer at a position on a relatively flat glass substrate, satisfactory characteristics of the color filter layer can be obtained. The color filter layer is unlikely to have influence on the thin film transistor layer, so that the yield can be improved. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090251651 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY ELEMENT - Electrode slit portions are formed in a pixel electrode in a direction of crossing a slit for dividing a liquid crystal layer into a plurality of domains. A titanium oxide film is formed so as to be exposed to the liquid crystal layer side via the electrode slit portions, the titanium oxide film having a relative dielectric constant higher than that of an organic film formed at positions corresponding to the electrode slit portions. By the titanium oxide film, an electric field of each domain is set, angles between the director in the vicinity of the electrode slit portion and transmission axes of polarizing plates are made to approximately 45°, and a decrease in transmittance caused by the falling direction of the director can be suppressed. The transmittance and contrast ratio are secured, and simultaneously an excellent wide viewing angle range can be obtained. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090270008 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING DISPLAY ELEMENT - A stopper layer and a plurality of pixels are formed on a large-sized glass substrate by a conventional production process. An intermediate panel is formed by adhering a counter large-sized non-glass substrate onto the large-sized glass substrate. The large-sized glass substrate and the stopper layer are removed. A thinner film-shaped array large-sized non-glass substrate than the large-sized glass substrate is adhered to the counter large-sized non-glass substrate via an adhesive layer. It is possible to produce components including and up to the intermediate panel by using a conventional production process when transferring pixels (thin film transistor layer) onto the array large-sized non-glass substrate.

| 20100290774 | On-vehicle lighting apparatus - An image display system generates an image including an intended lighting area surrounding a vehicle to input it on a display. An auxiliary lighting unit can selectively light multiple divided areas into which the intended lighting area is divided. One or more divided areas to be lit out of the multiple divided areas are selected according to a lighting status of a driving lighting system and the selected one or more divided areas are lit by the auxiliary lighting unit. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110234801 | IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS - An image display system is capable of generating a composite image that shows a surrounding area of a vehicle viewed from virtual viewpoints, by combining a plurality of shot images taken by a plurality of on-vehicle cameras that are disposed at different locations on the vehicle. The image display system changes data volumes of two shot images taken by two of the on-vehicle cameras based on a lighting mode of a lighting apparatus, the data volumes being used for an overlap area of the composite image that corresponds to the surrounding area of the vehicle where the two on-vehicle cameras can shoot in overlap. This reduces problems caused by lighting of the lighting apparatus in the overlap area of the composite image. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110234802 | ON-VEHICLE LIGHTING APPARATUS - In an image display system, respective light volumes of a plurality of light sources are individually adjusted according to surrounding areas of a vehicle indicated as subject images of display images on a display. Thus, only the light volumes of a necessary part of the light sources can be increased. Therefore, all of the plurality of light sources are not necessary to be emitted at maximum capacity constantly, so that consumed electric power can be reduced. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110242320 | IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS - An image display system makes a range of a region around a vehicle to be shown in a composite image as a subject image in a case where an auxiliary lighting system emits auxiliary light, smaller than that in a case where the auxiliary lighting system does not emit auxiliary light. As a result, an image display system can reduce the number of times when a user has to watch the subject image of an object in a region not illuminated by the auxiliary lighting system. | 10-06-2011 |
