Filed: 2002-08-22
Abstract: The reclosable plastic bag is formed by opposing panels of web with four sides sealed. A zipper is sealed within the bag so that a first zipper profile is sealed to a first opposing panel and a second zipper profile is sealed to a second opposing panel. A slider engaging the zipper profiles in a closed position protrudes from an opening in at least one of the opposing panels and may be further secured in place by a label.      The slider cannot be moved from the position wherein the zipper profiles are closed to the position wherein the zipper profiles are open prior to the user tearing a perforated or otherwise weakened line across the panels.

Abstract: An APL determining block (2) determines the APL of an input video signal (1) for each unit field period. In a light source control data creation block (3), when the APL is between 0% and a predetermined value A1, a light source control signal of the minimum level capable of stable drive of a light source (6) is generated. When the APL is between a predetermined value A2 and 1000, a light source control signal of the maximum level capable of stable drive of the light source (6) is generated. When the APL is between the predetermined value A1 and the predetermined value A2, a light source control signal is so generated as to dynamically vary in accordance with the APL. By driving the light source (6) in accordance with the light source control signal, it is possible to cope with problems of insufficient contrast and floating black and to improve the reliability of the light source (6).
