PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image display device capable of reliably increasing the brightness.SOLUTION: The product of a matrix of additive mixture of colors and a matrix of signals (R, G, B) is multiplied by a purity coefficient Ψ to obtain a tristimulus value. Then, assuming that the all the values of signals (R, G, B) are at min (R, G, B), another tristimulus value is obtained from the product of the matrix of additive mixture of colors and the matrix of signals (R, G, B). On the basis of the difference between the tristimulus values, which is obtained by subtracting the latter tristimulus values from the former one, and the inverse matrix of the product of the matrix of additive mixture of colors multiplied by TH, the values of signals (R, G, B) are determined and value of a signal Wis determined as value of min (R, G, B).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grid structure having a high aspect ratio and a shape applicable to various objects, and a method of manufacturing the grid structure for easily preparing the grid structure even when the size of the grid structure exceeds a wafer size. SOLUTION: A plurality of narrow and linear projecting parts 2 are formed on the surface of an optically transparent support body 1 so that they are arranged in parallel with each other at a constant pitch, for example. Metal material is deposited as a functional material from an oblique direction, metal filaments 6 are formed as functional members for covering the top surfaces and side surfaces of the projecting parts 2, and a wire grid diffraction grating 10 is prepared as the grid structure. Such functional members are hollow and are simply thin layers for covering the projecting parts 2, while they effectively function similarly to a solid functional member and are prepared more easily than the solid functional member. Using various materials other than the metal material as the functional material allows achievement of various functional elements. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser device capable of changing a laser wavelength over a wide range. SOLUTION: Light beams are emitted from a laser diode 11 having characteristics oscillating a multi-mode and changing the wavelength of an oscillation in response to a temperature, and light beams are reflected from a grating 13. The wavelength of light beams from the laser diode 11 is used as a specified wavelength in response to the positional relationship of the laser diode 11 and the grating 13. The variable range of the wavelength of light beams from the laser diode 11 is extended by cooling or heating the laser diode 11 by a Peltier element 35, and the range of the wavelength is extended in light beams 25 used for electronic equipment.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display device able to improve display performance.SOLUTION: The display device comprises: an electrophoretic particle arranged between a pair of electrodes for each pixel; and a voltage control circuit configured to apply a voltage for each pixel in order to move the electrophoretic particles. This voltage control circuit counts for each pixel the number of times that a first voltage is applied in order to move electrophoretic particles toward one electrode and the number of times that a second voltage is applied in order to move electrophoretic particles toward the other electrode. When some pixels are smaller in the number of times that the second voltage is applied than the other pixels at an arbitrary timing after the start of display, the voltage control circuit applies the second voltage to the pixel with the smaller number of times that the second voltage is applied, such that this number is close to the number of times that the second voltage is applied to the other pixels.
