Patent EP-1564478-A1 (EP)
Inventor: INOUE YUTAKA
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 2003-10-17
Abstract: A backlight unit includes a fluorescent lamp to
illuminate a liquid crystal panel, a reflection unit for
causing the light from the fluorescent lamp to exit toward a
certain direction, and a diffusion unit for diffusing the light
from the fluorescent lamp and reflection unit, and reflectance
or transmittance in the horizontal and vertical directions is
controlled by applying a dot pattern that gradually increases
densities from the central portion toward the peripheral
portion to the reflection unit or diffusion unit, or by applying
a dot pattern that gradually increases densities from the
central portion toward the both ends in the longitudinal
direction on the surface of the fluorescent tube of the
fluorescent lamp. By doing this, brightness gradient is
formed in the horizontal and vertical directions so that the
brightness in the central portion of the liquid crystal panel
is relatively higher than the brightness of the peripheral
portion thereof.

Abstract: Information relating to a playback of divided static
media data included in static media transmission data is
stored in static media transmission data previous than the
static media transmission data, and transmitted, thereby
making it possible to determine whether there is no divided
static media data originally or lost when the divided static
media data is not received. Accordingly, in the case where
static media such as timed text and the like is used in
distribution of streaming type, when receiving no static
media data, a data receiving apparatus determines whether
there is no media data to be next displayed or media data
is lost in the course of transmission to notify a user of
loss of media data correctly. Moreover, Moreover, it is
possible to reduce time required for packet loss detection
to execute a retransmission request without increasing
pre-buffering.
