Brief explanation

This abstract describes a display system that has a display unit with red, green, and blue sub-pixels, and a correction circuit that adjusts the color temperature for white light. The correction circuit sets a specific color temperature as the white point when the pixels display a certain tone that matches the sub-pixels. However, when the pixels display a lower tone that still matches the sub-pixels, the correction circuit sets a different color temperature as the white point.

Abstract

A display system includes a display unit that displays pixels with a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and a correction circuit that sets a color temperature for white luminescence. When the pixels perform display in a first tone that is the same tone with the red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel, and blue sub-pixel, the correction circuit sets a first color temperature as a white point. When the pixels perform display in a second tone that is lower than the first tone and that is the same tone with the red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel, and blue sub-pixel, the correction circuit sets a second color temperature different from the first color temperature as the white point.

RECORDING APPARATUS (18193276)

Inventor Yuka SHIMIZU

Brief explanation

The abstract describes a recording apparatus that consists of a reading unit and a pair of frames. The reading unit is responsible for reading a medium that is being transported through a path. The pair of frames supports the reading unit and is made up of a first frame and a second frame. These frames are separated by a gap in the width direction. One of the frames, or both, has an opening that allows the reading unit to pass through. The reading unit is supported by the frames and passes through the opening, being positioned between the first and second frames.

Abstract

A recording apparatus includes a reading unit reading a medium transported through a medium transportation path and a pair of frames supporting the reading unit. The pair of frames includes a first frame and a second frame that is disposed with an interval provided between the first frame and the second frame in the width direction, at least one of the first frame and the second frame is provided with an opening portion penetrable by the reading unit, and the first frame and the second frame support the reading unit penetrating, via the opening portion, the first frame and the second frame while being disposed between the first frame and the second frame.

ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE AND DISPLAY APPARATUS (18190966)

Inventor Tetsuaki Murohashi

Brief explanation

This abstract describes a liquid crystal apparatus that includes various components such as a substrate, a pixel electrode, common wiring, a TFT (thin-film transistor), a scanning line, a capacitance element, and a second relay electrode. The capacitance element overlaps the scanning line and includes a first capacitance electrode with a protruding portion. The second relay electrode also overlaps the scanning line and includes a projecting portion that overlaps the protruding portion of the first capacitance electrode. These two electrodes are electrically connected through a contact hole.
