Abstract:
There is provided a liquid crystal display device capable of suppressing coloring of an image when a liquid crystal panel is viewed in an oblique direction. An optical filter (4) is arranged on the front-most surface of the liquid crystal panel (11). The optical filter (4) changes transmittance when visible light of a predetermined wavelength range is emitted in an oblique direction than when emitted in the front direction. When a wide color range light source such as an LED is employed as a light source (8) of a backlight unit (12), the entire screen appears reddish and the color temperature tends to be lowered if the liquid crystal panel (11) is viewed in an oblique direction. In this case, by configuring the optical filter (4) so as to selectively attenuate the intensity of the red-based visible light range and increase the intensity of the blue-based visible light range, it is possible to suppress reddish-ness of the screen when viewed in an oblique direction.
Abstract:
In an automatic color control circuit for color television receivers, color burst signals separated from the output of a carrier chrominance signal amplifier are rectified to produce a control signal for varying the gain of the amplifier inversely with respect to the control signal, and the control signal is suppressed, as by the application to the rectifier circuit of a reverse bias which varies inversely with the burst signals, so as to reduce the amplifier gain from its maximum level only when the input chrominance signals, and hence the burst signals separated therefrom, are at least at predetermined levels.
Abstract:
A liquid-crystal display that can inhibit the coloring of an image when a liquid-crystal panel is viewed from an oblique direction is provided. An optical filter 4 is disposed at the forward end of a liquid-crystal panel 11, the optical filter 4 having different transmittances between a light component that travels in an oblique direction and a light component that travels in a direction normal to the multilayer, both of the light components having a predetermined wavelength range. In the case where a wide-color-gamut light source, such as LEDs, is used as a light sources 8 of a backlight unit 12, when the liquid-crystal panel 11 is viewed from an oblique direction, the entire image area tends to be reddish, and the color temperature tends to decrease. In this case, the optical filter 4 is configured such that the intensity of a visible red light component is selectively reduced and such that the intensity of a visible blue light component is increased, thereby inhibiting the reddening of an image area when viewed from an oblique direction.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stable lighting circuit for a fluorescent tube by reducing the gain of tube current when input voltage becomes a set value or less and providing a gain control part to raise the frequency of output voltage applied to a piezoelectric transformer. SOLUTION: An input voltage VDC of an input power source 3 detected by an input voltage detection part 5 is controlled by a frequency control part 7 in terms of frequency. A boosting part 9 imparts its output voltage which is boosted and varying periodically to a fluorescent tube 11 and a tube current detection part detects the tube current flowing through the fluorescent tube 11. When the input voltage VDC becomes a predetermined value or less, a gain control part 15 reduces the gain of the tube current and performs the control to raise the frequency of the output voltage imparted to the piezoelectric transformer. Thus, the transformer current of the piezoelectric transformer 41 is so controlled that it never exceed its peak value even if the input voltage VDC is reduced and thereby, the wide range of input voltage can be dealt with. The fluorescent tube 11 is a back light to make a liquid crystal display device 21 easy to see and accordingly, it is preferable that the output voltage from the boosting part 9 should be sinusoidal.

PURPOSE:To attain a smaller power, miniaturization and a lower cost minimize power by providing a plurality of taps on the primary side coil of the transformer of a starting circuit, and operating a tap switching circuit to generate a starting voltage and a lighting keeping voltage, respectively. CONSTITUTION:By inputting a signal from a signal input terminal (a) after inputting a power source from a power source terminal (c), transistors Q3, Q4 are alternately ON/OF and laid in oscillating states, and a discharge starting voltage is applied to a fluorescent lamp 5. The discharge starting voltage induces a high voltage from the primary side coil 1a having a small coil winding number between taps 13, 12 or taps 13 14 to the secondary side coil lb. When the signal is switched by a signal switching circuit and inputted to the input terminal (b) after the fluorescent lamp 5 reaches the arc discharge state, transistors Q1, Q2 are alternately ON/OFF and laid in oscillating states, and a discharge keeping voltage about a half the discharge starting voltage is applied from the coil 1a between the taps 13, 11 or 13, 15 to the coil 1b. Thus, the number of parts can be reduced, and the miniaturization and reduction in cost can be attained.

PURPOSE:To keep the brightness constant without increasing power consumption by controlling switching according to a drive current of a discharge lamp. CONSTITUTION:When an FET 13 is turned on, a capacitor 11 and a primary coil 12a act as a resonance circuit, a voltage is introduced to a secondary coil 12b, and it is applied to a discharge lamp 3. A switching frequency of the FET 13 is set to be high frequency, the high frequency is also applied to the lamp 3. A drive current for the lamp 3 is detected by a serial resistor 21, and it is converted into a voltage to be outputted to a control circuit 5. it is compared with a reference current here, and a servo is applied to make them equal so as to keep it constant. The brightness of the lamp 3 can thus be regulated by changing the reference voltage. The brightness can be next constant regardless of an input voltage.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the blooming of a image pickup tube and to realize good recovery from the blooming by providing a shutter mechanism on the front of the image pickup tube and closing this shutter mechanism at least in the off-state period of a power source. CONSTITUTION:The shutter mechanism 41 is provided on the from of the image pickup part 1 and can be closed at least by interlocking with the off-state of the power source (a switch 39). Since the shutter mechanism 41 can be closed at least by interlocking with the off-state of the power source, the blooming of the image pickup tube generated by the exposure of image pickup tube to an external light does not occure. Besides, the blooming can be well recovered by closing the shutter device 41 at the off-state time of the power source.
