Display apparatus

The invention provides a display panel 9; a gain variable liquid crystal driving circuit 10 for driving the display panel 9 with an amplified video signal that is obtained by multiplying an input video signal by a variable coefficient; a backlight operating circuit 6 for operating, based on a lamp control signal, a backlight 8 for illuminating the display panel 9; a level extension signal calculating circuit 11 for outputting an optical output level extension signal Lout by extending a predetermined output level used to operate the backlight 8, wherein the predetermined output level is extended based on an optical output gain obtained from the input video signal, and an output peak value of the backlight 8; and a white peak improving circuit 5 for receiving the optical output level extension signal, and for outputting a lamp control signal, whose white peak level has been adjusted according to a change in brightness of a scene, to the backlight operating circuit 6, and for calculating and outputting a video amplitude gain, which adjusts an amplitude of a video signal, as a coefficient to a gain variable driving amplifier circuit 3, wherein the lamp control signal is outputted when the brightness of a scene is above normal level, and the video amplitude gain is outputted when the brightness is at normal level. As a result, there is provided a display apparatus that improves peak luminance in a bright scene and suppresses pale black display in a dark scene and thereby provide a wide dynamic range without increasing power consumption.

Tunable semiconductor laser having cavity with reflective Fabry-Perot etalon and Mach-Zehnder interferometer

The semiconductor laser has a resonance cavity composed of a gain chip, a Mach-Zehnder wide tuning port, and a wavelength-selective mirror component formed either as a ring resonator or a reflective Fabry-Perot etalon. Optical signals generated by the gain chip propagate through the wide tuning port and into the wavelength-selective mirror component and are then reflected back to the gain chip. The wavelength-selective mirror component is configured to reflect only those optical signals having wavelengths within a set of sharp peaks so that the laser cavity resonates only within the sharp peaks. The wavelength-selective mirror component is heated to adjust internal dimensions to maintain one of the sharp peaks at a selected emission wavelength. As optical signals pass through the wide tuning port, the signals are split between two channels of differing lengths resulting in optical interference. The optical interference limits the ability of the laser cavity to resonate at wavelengths other than near the center of a single broad peak determined by the relative lengths of the two channels. The wide tuning port is heated to vary the relative lengths of the two channels to maintain the single broad peak at the selected transmission wavelength. In this manner, the laser cavity is controlled to resonate substantially only at the single selected wavelength. Resonance at any of the other wavelengths reflected by the wavelength-selective mirror component is greatly limited, thereby significantly reducing transmission sidebands generated by the laser. Specific implementations of the ring resonator mirror and the reflective etalon are described.

Rectangular Thin Panel Conveyance Unit

A rectangular thin panel conveyance unit that prevents damage of a plurality of rectangular thin panels while conveying the plurality of rectangular thin panels that are stacked so as not to contact one another. A rectangular thin panel conveyance unit includes a plurality of sets of four corner modules, and vibration suppressing bodies for rectangular thin panels in a fixed shape. The corner module has a support surface to support each corner portion of the rectangular thin panel from a lower side. At each corner portion, stacking the corner modules in a columnar shape in the vertical direction stacks a plurality of rectangular thin panels in the vertical direction. At this time, the vibration suppressing body has the thickness that is equal to or less than the distance between the support surfaces of the corner modules adjacent to one another in the vertical direction. The vibration suppressing bodies are disposed on each of a top surface and an inferior surface of the rectangular thin panel such that the vibration suppressing body faces a planar portion of each rectangular thin panel to restrict amplitude of vibration of the rectangular thin panel in the vertical direction, which is caused by conveyance of the plurality of stacked rectangular thin panels, within a predetermined range. The vibration suppressing body has a contact portion for the planar portion of the rectangular thin panel.
