| 20080294867 | ARITHMETIC PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESING APPARATUS AND MEMORY ACCESS METHOD IN ARITHMETIC PROCESSOR - In an information processing apparatus of this invention having a cache memory, a TLB and a TSB, a second retrieval unit retrieves a second physical address from an address translation buffer by using a second virtual address corresponding one-to-one to a first virtual address, and a prefetch controller enters a first address translation pair of the first virtual address from an address translation table into a cache memory by using a second physical address which is a result of the retrieval, thereby largely shortening the processing time of a memory access when a TLB miss occurs at the time of the memory access. | 11-27-2008 |

The device includes: a black image insertion driving part which performs, on a display panel, black image insertion drive in which video display scanning and black image display scanning are executed in a specific period; and a light-up timing control part which controls a light-up start timing and a light-off start timing of each light source block based on a synchronous signal which synchronizes with the start timing of the video display scanning or the black image display scanning. The light-off period of the light source block is equal to or less than a period from the end of black image display scanning performed on all display lines within a block area to the start of video scanning performed on the first display line within the area. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100106938 | Arithmetic processing unit and entry control method - An arithmetic processing apparatus includes: a plurality of TLBs holding as entries a portion of a conversion table for conversion of virtual addresses into physical addresses that has been placed in a main memory unit; an entry registration determining unit that, while registering an entry output from the main memory unit in any one of a plurality of TLBs, determines whether an entry has already been registered in an area of a TLB as registration destination; and a relocation control unit that, when the entry registration determining unit determines that an entry has already been registered in the area of the TLB as registration destination, evicts the entry that has already been registered and registers evicted entry in other TLB. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100118006 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY METHOD - To provide a liquid crystal display device and the like, which can improve the contrast ratio. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display unit and an image processing unit which supplies video signals inputted from a video source section to the liquid crystal display unit. The liquid crystal display unit is formed by stacking a single first liquid crystal display element and a single or a plurality of second liquid crystal display element(s). For each pixel unit of the second liquid crystal display element, the image processing unit generates, by having each dot of the video signal as a reference point, a drive signal for displaying an image according to processing for extracting a maximum value of relative gradations or relative transmittances among a region of a pixel unit (dot) group including the reference pixel units and the pixel units (dots) neighboring to the reference pixel units. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20110004730 | CACHE MEMORY DEVICE, PROCESSOR, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR CACHE MEMORY DEVICE - A cache memory device that connects an instruction controlling unit outputting a memory access request for requesting data and a storage device storing data, the cache memory device including: a data memory unit that holds data for each cache line, a tag memory unit that holds, for each cache line linked with a cache line of the data memory unit, tag addresses specifying storage positions of data covered by the memory access request at the storage device and status data indicating states of the data of the data memory unit corresponding to the tag addresses, a search unit that searches for a cache line of the tag memory unit corresponding to an index address included in the memory access request, a comparison unit that compares a tag address held in the found cache line of the tag memory unit and a tag address included in the memory access request and, when the two do not match, detects a “cache miss” and reads out the status information of the found cache line, and a controlling unit that, when the comparison unit detects a cache miss, requests data covered by the memory access request to the storage device and, when the cache line storing the data requested at the storage device is not present in the data memory unit, stops the supply of a clock to the data memory unit based on the status information of the cache line that the comparison unit read out. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20080238854 | HOLD TYPE IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM - The present invention aims to insert a black screen in one frame period to alleviate moving image blur due to overlap recognition of a current frame image and an afterimage of the previous frame and improve the image quality of the moving image, and to set a black insertion rate with respect to one frame period to a value suited for each usage state. An enable signal (VOE) to each gate driver is independently controlled, and a start pulse (VSP) input to write a black signal is performed at an arbitrary timing within one frame period with respect to the gate driver to insert a black image within one frame period. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080238897 | HOLD TYPE IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM - The present invention aims to prevent display luminance difference and burning with a line at which the polarity inversion switches when the order of inversion of black and video changes in the middle of the screen by a frame polarity inversion drive in a liquid crystal display device for performing black insertion drive. An enable signal (VOE) to each gate driver | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090109247 | DISPLAY PANEL CONTROL DEVICE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE, DISPLAY DEVICE DRIVING METHOD, AND CONTROL PROGRAM - To provide a display panel control device capable of preventing generation of step-like tailing and ghost when executing black insertion drive. A first correction device performs first correction on a gradation value of a video signal by considering response delay of the display panel when changing from a second gradation voltage to a first gradation voltage. A second correction device performs second correction on one of or both of the gradation value of the video signal and the gradation voltage of a monochrome image signal by considering accumulative luminance reaching delay of the video part caused due to a difference between each monochrome display luminance of each monochrome image part in different unit frame cycle periods, when the gradation value of the video signal changes from a unit frame cycle period to another unit frame cycle period. A monochrome image insertion drive control device generates the monochrome image inserted video signal including the video part and the monochrome image part to which the first correction or the second correction is performed, and controls the monochrome image insertion drive of the display panel. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090262148 | CONTROLLER, HOLD-TYPE DISPLAY DEVICE, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND SIGNAL ADJUSTING METHOD FOR HOLD-TYPE DISPLAY DEVICE - To provide a hold-type display device having a fine luminance efficiency while suppressing generation of motion blur. A controller according to the invention adjusts a signal outputted to a hold-type image display panel, which includes: a double-speed drive converting part which divides one frame of an inputted video signal to a plurality of sub-frames; a color converting part which converts a video signal of three primary colors including the plurality of sub-frames to a video signal of four or more colors including the three primary colors and a compound color; and a sub-frame converting part which converts, the video signal converted by the color converting part, to a signal having a plurality of different gradations whose average luminance value becomes equivalent to luminance of the video signal converted by the color converting part, and takes each of the plurality of gradations as each of gradations of the plurality of sub-frames. | 10-22-2009 |
