Title: Printing system, printer host, printer driver and printing possibility ensuring method
Inventor: SUZUKI TETSUYA
IPC: B41J5/30
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure printing possibility for a printer which performs printing processing, in correspondence with a single resolution.  <P>SOLUTION: A printer driver 320 generates image data and then compresses it for outputting to a printer 10. If the data capacity of the compressed data is too large to be received with a printer 10, the compressed data are decompressed once, reduced and converted into low resolution data, which are expanded and converted into the data of original resolution by using a nearest neighbor method. If the data are re-compressed, the data capacity is reduced because the data are expanded and converted by the nearest neighbor method and hence the compression ratio is high. As a result, the printer 10 is capable of receiving, and thus the printing is executed by transmitting the compressed data to the printer 10.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Title: Liquid crystal display device and its driving method
Inventor: MATSUEDA YOJIRO
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 2002-04-01
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving method capable of preventing an afterimage and burning caused by shifting of characteristics of nonlinear elements in an active matrix type liquid crystal display device using the nonlinear elements. SOLUTION: The shifting of the characteristic of the nonlinear elements depends upon the voltage applied to the element. Then, in a selection period, a plurality of selection pulses are given to a signal and the signal having level opposite to that of an original signal is applied to the elements just before the original signal is written. As a result, effective values of voltages applied to the nonlinear elements become equal to each other regardless of image data. Thus, the afterimage and the persistence caused by the shifting of the characteristics of the nonlinear elements can be eliminated.
