The present disclosure relates to a portable attachment and communication system that enable a desired image to be displayed with flexibility and lower power consumption in an article worn or carried by a human. The portable attachment is an article including a display body made of an electrophoretic display, the article being carried or worn by a user. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a portable attachment, etc. Examples of the portable attachment carried by a user are a bag, a wallet, a key holder, etc. Examples of the portable attachment worn by the user are a hair accessory, a tie, a watch, clothing, etc.

Portable attachment and communication system

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for displaying information, a program, and a communication system, which enable the provision of an apparatus making use of a display device excellent in flexibility. An information display apparatus includes a display unit including a time information presenting section for presenting at least time information and a band section to be worn on an arm, and a display control unit for changing a display of the display unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, the information display apparatus.

The apparatus for manufacturing a plasma display panel having a first mechanism for supplying a cover member formed by a metal sheet to which low-melting-point glass is applied to a first location within the gas introduction and sealing chamber, a second mechanism provided in the gas introduction and sealing chamber for moving the cover member from the first location to a second location which is over a heating apparatus provided in the gas introduction and sealing chamber, a third mechanism provided in the gas introduction and sealing chamber for performing vacuum exhausting an inside of the plasma display panel and then introducing a luminescent gas into the plasma display panel, and a fourth mechanism provided in the gas introduction and sealing chamber for heating the metal sheet to which the low-melting-point glass is applied by using the heating apparatus, so that the gas introduction port is sealed by the low-melting-point glass.

Plasma display panel manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method

A malfunction during focussing pull-in in an optical disc recording/reproducing apparatus is to be prevented. To this end, the optical disc recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical pickup,having an objective lens,and a biaxial actuator, a photodetector for generating tracking error signals from the return light of the laser light illuminated on the optical disc and a position sensor for detecting the position of the objective lens relative to the optical disc. The optical disc recording/reproducing apparatus also includes an actuator driving circuit for controlling the servo operation of a biaxial actuator,, based on the tracking error signals, so that the converging point of the light beam will be on the signal recording surface of the optical disc, and a pull-in range decision unit for outputting a permission signal according permission for the servo operation when the position of the objective lens,is within a preset range.

Optical disc apparatus, driving control method for objective lens, control method for optical head and recording/reproducing method for optical head

An optical disc system, an optical disc employed in such system, and an optical disc apparatus employed for driving the optical disc system, are disclosed. The optical disc includes plural wobbled grooves gr which include address information data. The optical disc is pre-formatted so that the wobbled grooves are formed so that the distance between neighboring grooves gr corresponds to the number of channels in an HDTV signal. For instance, two channels, CH1 and CH2, are recorded on recording lands are defined between the neighboring wobbled grooves formed at a distance of 3.2 .mu.m. Signal dots Sd.sub.1, Sd.sub.2 for the two HDTV signal channels CH1 and CH2 are recorded on either sides of each wobbled groove gr. The HDTV signals may be recorded on the real time basis and for an extended period of time.

A chip-in-glass fluorescent indicator panel includes a glass substrate, a wiring layer, an insulating layer, a pattern-like graphite layer, a phosphor layer, a filament, a grid, an IC, an IC shield, a filament fixing portion, and an anchor. The wiring layer is formed on the glass substrate. The insulating layer covers the wiring layer. The pattern-like graphite layer is formed on the insulating layer to be electrically connected to the wiring layer. The phosphor layer is formed on the pattern-like graphite layer. The filament is suspended above phosphor layer with an interval. The grid is arranged between the filament and the phosphor layer. The IC is fixed on the insulating layer on one end side of the glass substrate to be connected to the pattern-like graphite layer through the wiring layer. The IC shield is arranged between the IC and the filament. The filament fixing portion is formed on the IC shield. The anchor is arranged on the insulating layer on the other end side of the glass substrate to suspend the filament between the anchor and the filament fixing portion.

Chip-in-glass fluorescent indicator panel with heat protection

A flat fluorescent display panel, having in parallel an anode plate and a cover plate separated by a frame-type spacer whose central open area defines an inner space for a fluorescent material and electrode structure. The three layers are joined and sealed together such that the inner space may be evacuated. The cover is cut or slit, forming an opening that expose the inner space and permits evacuation. The opening is closed and sealed by a portion of the cover or some suitable sealing structure.
