20090167643PLASMA DISPLAY DEVICE - The initial color temperature setting can change when a plasma display panel (PDP) is driven for a long period of time. One cause is due to the non-uniform deterioration of red, green, and blue fluorescent materials due to the ultraviolet rays discharged during operation of the panel. Color temperature correction is performed by setting the numbers of discharge pulses for fluorescent materials in accordance with a discharge pulse number correction curve with respect to the cumulative elapsed driven time of the PDP.07-02-2009
20100053140DISPLAY APPARATUS - The present invention improves the reliability of a display apparatus by suppressing the temperature rise of the display apparatus mounted on a wall. The display apparatus is provided with a wall mount switch to detect a wall mount member if the wall mount member is attached to the rear of the display apparatus. If it is detected by the wall mount switch that the display apparatus is mounted on a wall, the display power supplied to a display unit is set lower than normal by a power controller. This suppresses the temperature rise of the apparatus mounted on a wall.03-04-2010
20100079049PLASMA DISPLAY DEVICE - A plasma display device refines contrast, suppresses moiré, and maintains mechanical strength against shocks from the outside of the device. A front panel is disposed at a distance D from the front of the plasma display panel. A contrast refine film in which light absorption parts and light transmission parts extending in the same direction as scanning electrodes, discharge sustaining electrodes, and the like, which are formed on the plasma display panel, are formed with a certain pitch is stuck to the front substrate of the plasma display panel. This helps to refine contrast and suppress moiré below a proper level. An antireflection film, a color tone film, an electromagnetic radiation preventing film, a near-infrared absorption film, and the like are all disposed in the front panel. This helps to prevent deterioration of each optical film during operation.04-01-2010
20100110329LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - In order to achieve a liquid crystal display device for TV with a reduced thickness, light weight, and uniform brightness, a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight are housed in a mold. In the backlight, light emitting diodes are provided in a frame-like flexible wiring substrate, in which plural the light emitting diodes are provided on each of four side surfaces of a light guide panel. A distance between the light emitting diodes in the central portion of each side of the light guide panel is small, while a distance in the corners of each side is large.05-06-2010
20100172098IMAGE DISPLAY - A flat-type image display, such as, a plasma display, a LCD display, an OLED display, etc., in particular, for improving a cooling efficiency of a display panel, various kinds of substrates and an image display element, within the thin-sized housing thereof, comprises: a display panel; a chassis, which supports the display panel from a rear surface side thereof; a front surface-side cover, which is provided on a front side of the display panel; a rear surface-side cover, which is provided on a rear side of the display panel; an image display element connected with the display panel; a display driver substrate, which is connected with the display panel, and on a surface of which opposite to the chassis are provided circuit parts thereof; a power source substrate, which supplies driving power to the display driver substrate and the image display element, and on a surface of which opposite to the chassis are provided circuit parts thereof; and a first insulator board, which is provided at a position opposite to the display driver substrates and the power source substrate of the chassis.07-08-2010
20100194787PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL DISPLAY APPARATUS - White noise images and white noise-like pattern images are discerned by making use of the fact that the address current is increased when such an image is entered and detecting the address current by an address current detection circuit. When the detected address current exceeds a given value α and persists for a given period of time, a CPU controls a contrast control circuit to lower the contrast of the video signal, thus reducing the power consumption of an address driver circuit.08-05-2010
20100245711LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - In a liquid crystal display device having a direct-lighting backlight using LEDs as a light source, the number of LEDs is reduced without causing unevenness in brightness. An LED is disposed under a cylindrical lens to be closer to one end of the lens than a middle part of the lens. Light emitted from the LED is outputted, as diffused light, upward from an end diffusion surface of the lens. A portion of the top surface of the lens makes up a total reflection surface to reflect light emitted from the LED and thereby cause the reflected light to head for the other end of the lens. Diffusion surfaces formed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the lens radiate diffused light upward of the lens, causing uniform light to be radiated from the whole top surface of the lens.09-30-2010
20100296026LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - An LCD device using LEDs as light sources provided herein is capable of reducing the manufacturing cost and the power consumption by a reduction in the number of LEDs used. A backlight according to the present invention includes LEDs mounted on a wiring board and a light guide plate having a matrix array of light guide plate blocks assigned the LEDs. The number of LEDs assigned to the block located in a peripheral area is smaller than the number assigned to the block located around the center to reduce the number of LEDs used in the backlight. If a ratio of the brightness in a peripheral area of the screen to the brightness in a central area is 60% or higher, the human eye does not perceive non-uniform luminance. Thus, the manufacturing cost and the power consumption of the LCD device can be reduced.11-25-2010
20110050654LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY APPARATUS AND BACK LIGHT APPARATUS - A backlight apparatus includes a plurality of LEDs as light-sources, a plurality of light-guiding plates, lights from the LEDs being made incident into the light-guiding plates, the incident lights being then converted into a surface-like light, and being guided onto the liquid-crystal panel side by the light-guiding plates, a plurality of LED drivers for supplying currents to the plurality of LEDs, and a plurality of LED driving boards on which the plurality of LEDs and LED drivers are implemented, wherein the plurality of LEDs are implemented on one surface of each LED driving board, and each light-guiding plate is also provided thereon, each of the LED drivers being implemented on the other surface of each LED driving board.03-03-2011
20110080532BACKLIGHT UNIT AND VIDEO DISPLAY APPARATUS APPLYING THE SAME THEREIN - A backlight unit of thin-type comprises: at least one or more light source(s); plural numbers of light guide plates, each of which is configured to guide and irradiate the light of the light source(s) to a side of a liquid crystal panel; and a chassis, on which the light source(s) and the light guide plates are fixed, thereby being constructed by aligning the light guide plates, wherein the following conditions are satisfied:04-07-2011
