Abstract:
A display control apparatus receives display data from a display information supply apparatus such as a personal computer, performs predetermined processing of the display data, and transfers the processed data to a display apparatus via a high-speed display image transfer bus so as to display the display data on the display apparatus. When the display information supply apparatus issues a predetermined instruction, the display control apparatus outputs corresponding instruction information to the display apparatus via a second bus arranged in addition to the high-speed bus so as to display the display data in a mode corresponding to the contents of the instruction.
Abstract:
In a system for viewing accumulated contents by using a cellular phone, if an error prevents the content to be viewed, a simple operation is performed to view the rest at home. In accordance with a viewing request from a cellular phone, a television receiver (100), while sequentially receiving data from D-VHS (130), converts the data into a format suitable for reception and play in a cellular phone (300) by using an encoder (122). After this format conversion, the television receiver (100) stores in a play position memory (124) a time stamp indicating a position information of a content and a sequence number used for transmission in TCP/IP. The cellular phone notifies the television receiver (100) of a decode error of a reception data. When receiving a confirmation response of a normal play from the cellular phone, the television receiver (100) clears the data of the play position memory (124), and otherwise holds the data of the play position memory (124).

Abstract:
In a display apparatus for receiving and displaying display image data, whether or not a cable is disconnected from an interface connector for receiving display data is detected. If the disconnection state is detected, a predetermined indication portion is driven to inform this state.
Abstract:
A surface lighting device receiving incident rays through two opposing faces of a light guide from light source to emit the incident rays from a face different from the two faces. The light guide is divided into plural divisions which are jointed together.
Abstract:
A support structure (3) for supporting a display apparatus (2) which can be tilted vertically upwards or downwards from a predetermined position, is disclosed. This support structure has a tilting mechanism (10) providing a differential torque reaction to an applied tilting force to accommodate a difference in the applied torques required when tilting upwards against the weight of the display apparatus (2) and when tilting downwards assisted by the weight of the display apparatus (2), respectively. In the preferred arrangement, the differential torque reaction is provided by a fixed helical spring (13) and a horizontal axis member (12) at each end (10r,10l) of a support arm (8) provided for supporting the display apparatus (2) on the support structure (3).

Abstract:
There is disclosed a liquid crystal display comprising a ferroelectric liquid crystal panel 201, a heater 205 provided near or adjacent said panel, means 207 for detecting the temperature of said panel, and a control circuit 210 for controlling the amount of heat generated by said heater in accordance with a comparison result between an output of said detecting means and a first set temperature when said liquid crystal panel is in use, or a second set temperature when said liquid crystal panel is not in use. The control circuit may include a plurality of temperature decision circuits and a clock circuit. At least one control circuit may be located externally of the display and be connected thereto by an external connector.
