Abstract: A plasma display device (10) is provided with
circuitry (50) which modifies at least the R and B colour
component signals so as to compensate for the displacement
of the display elements or sub-pixels for each colour
component relative to each other in the array. 
Surprisingly, this increases the ratio of wanted signal to
alias spectrum. The modification is effected by an
interpolator comprising transversal filters (31R, 31B).
The circuitry can be combined with down-converters (52)
when a high definition source is used. In this case a

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved retroviral vectors for gene therapy. In this invention, retroviral vectors with higher safety and efficiency are constructed from MLV-based starting vectors, MON and MIN. The improved vectors have the following features: 1) sequences corresponding to MLV-derived pol gene are completely deleted in the vectors, avoiding homologous recombination which has been a baffling problem in conventional retroviral vectors, 2) a heterologous intron, splicing acceptor and/or non-coding sequence are/is inserted into the upstream position of a cloning site, maximizing the expression of a foreign gene through efficient splicing, 3) the vectors contain either the full-length U3 sequence of 5' LTR or a strong heterologous promoter instead, permitting the abundant production of RNA, 4) either IRES (Internal Ribosomal Entry Site) or internal SV40 minimal promoter is inserted into the downstream position of cloning site, enabling the simultaneous expression of two or more foreign genes. Since the improved retroviral vectors of this invention turn out to be safe and to express the foreign gene efficiently, they are useful for gene therapy and the like.
