To provide a timing generator which generates a first reference signal at a standard speed of approximately 14 MHz and a second reference signal operating at approximately 28 MHz which is double the standard speed and forms a moving image based on the first reference signal, reads, when a freeze switch is operated, an image pickup signal based on the second reference signal operating at the double speed and writes this signal into the memory 36 at the same speed. Then, by reading this still image signal from the memory at the standard speed, the still image is displayed on the monitor. Thereby, the need for setting a conventional light shielding period can be eliminated.

An optical transmitter generates a transmission signal having a frame as a unit, the frame including a single optical pilot signal with a constant optical phase and a plurality of phase-modulated optical data signals, and outputs the transmission signal into a transmission line. In a receiver, a splitter splits the optical signal input from the transmission line. On a second arm of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, an optical gate transmits the optical pilot signal and a duplicator duplicates the optical pilot signal output from the optical gate at predetermined time intervals. A balanced optical receiver converts the interfered optical signal output from the interferometer into an electrical signal. A gate and a discriminator extract the data from the electrical signal output from the receiver.

An object of the present invention is to make available a pivoting display device which enables a display unit to be assuredly stowed even by using a relatively small elastic component, and which has enhanced reliability and is space-saving. When a power switch becomes off, a monitor which can be stowed is swung by urging force from a coil spring. In an initial stage in which counter-electromotive force Vm induced by a motor is greater than on-voltage of a FET, the counter-electromotive force Vm acts as rotation resistance for the motor. When the monitor approaches a stowage position, the rotating speed of the motor is reduced. Therefore, bias voltage of the FET is reduced due to reduction of the counter-electromotive force Vm, and the braking force imposed on the motor by the counter-electromotive force Vm is gradually reduced, thereby increasing pivoting speed.
