In an electric actuator, an output shaft has a housing recess. An end of a motor shaft is housed in the housing recess. A first bearing supports the motor shaft in the housing recess. The motor shaft has an eccentric shaft. A deceleration mechanism includes an external gear connected to the eccentric shaft via a second bearing, an internal gear engaged with the external gear, a flange part expanding from the output shaft, and protrusions protruding from the flange part and disposed along the circumferential direction. The external gear has holes recessed on the other side in the axial direction. The holes are disposed along the circumferential direction and each have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion. The protrusions are inserted into the holes respectively and support the external gear to be swingable around the central axis via the inner surfaces of the holes.

Electric actuator

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel, a backlight panel and a backlight drive circuit which outputs drive current of the backlights, the duty ratio and the amplitude of which are changeable. The backlight drive circuit outputs the drive current based on duty ratio characteristics that the duty ratio is greater as the luminance of the backlights is higher and amplitude characteristics that is divided with a predetermined luminance as a boundary into the first and second regions, and that the change rate of the amplitude of the drive current with respect to the luminance is less than or equal to the predetermined change rate in the first region, and the change rate of the amplitude of the drive current with respect to the luminance is greater than the predetermined change rate.

Display device

A display device includes a display, a plurality of first reflectors, a light processing member, and a plurality of light sources. The first reflectors each have a first bottom part that is disposed on a rear face side of the display and a first peripheral part that extends from an outer edge of the first bottom part toward a rear face of the display, with a surface of the first bottom part and a surface of the first peripheral part forming an obtuse angle. The light processing member is disposed between the display and the first reflectors, the light processing member being spaced apart from the first reflectors by a specific distance. The light sources are disposed relative to the surfaces of the first bottom parts, respectively.

Signals are provided which allow colors in a wider color range than predetermined standards, which can be handled by apparatus according to such predetermined standards. A primary color converter converts first color signals having primary color points in a wider color range than the primary color points according to BT.709 into second color signals based on the primary colors according to BT.709. A photoelectric transducer converts the second color signals into third color signals according to photoelectric transducer characteristics defined in a numerical range wider than a range from 0 to 1.0 of color signals corresponding to a luminance signal and color difference signals according to BT.709. A color signal converter converts the third color signals into a luminance signal and color difference signals. A corrector incorporated in the color signal converter corrects the color difference signals into color difference signals.
