Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a liquid crystal display device of a lateral electric field method which decreases such a failure called as a weight mark originating from a display failure caused by a weight added on the display face and remaining visible for a long time even after the weight is removed, which shows good display characteristics with a wide viewing angle and can be easily manufactured at low cost. SOLUTION: The top ends of a pixel electrode 10 and a counter electrode 11 are provided with conductors 10a, 11a having such a pattern that at least one line of each conductor is tilted in the opposite direction to the alignment direction of the liquid crystal to a source line 12. The angle θe of the conductors 10a, 11a to the source line 12 is controlled to the range of 1 deg.<θe<90 deg.. Thereby, the direction of the electric field in the top ends of the pixel electrode 10 and the counter electrode 11 can be controlled to the direction where the liquid crystal has to be rotated, and the liquid crystal rotated in the opposite direction by the weight can be rapidly returned to the right rotation direction. Thus, the weight mark can be rapidly decreased and the display quality is improved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for continuous production of pigment flushes and an apparatus for carrying out the process. In the process of the invention, the pigment press cake is first fluidized. The fluidized press cake and a hydrophobic liquid organic medium are fed into a twin screw extruder. The kneading of the organic medium and press cake between the twin screws flushes the pigment into the organic medium. The water phase and flushed pigment phase are separated by removing at least part of the water phase through a vent in the extruder. An impediment to the flow of material downstream of the water vent causes the flush to accumulate in the vented section for a period of time sufficient to remove the desired amount of the water phase. The flush works over the impediment and passes downstream to where vacuum is applied to remove residual water from the flush. The flush may be further combined with other ink ingredients to form an ink product.

Abstract: A decoder and method for using a new picture or frame type is provided. This type is referred to a an SP-picture. The temporal redundancies are not exploited in I-frames, compression efficiency of I-frame coding is significantly lower than the predictive coding. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the invention allows use of motion compensated predictive coding to exploit temporal redundancy in the sequence while still allowing identical reconstruction of the frame using different reference frames. Methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention using this new picture type provide for error resilience/recovery, bandwidth scalability, bitstream switching, processing scalability, random access and other functions. The SP-type picture provides for, among other functions, switching between different bitstreams, random access, fast forward and fast error-recovery by replacing I-pictures to increase the coding efficiency. SP-pictures have the property that identical SP-frames may be obtained even when they are predicted using different reference frames.
