A liquid crystal display device includes a first transparent substrate having a plurality of electrodes, a second transparent substrate, a liquid crystal interposed between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate, an illumination light source disposed on a back side of the first transparent substrate, pixel regions arranged in a matrix, and a reflecting film formed between the first transparent substrate and the electrodes. The reflecting film has at least one light transmission aperture in each pixel region and without slits at positions corresponding to gaps between adjacent ones of the pixel regions.

Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal is interposed between a first transparent substrate having first electrodes and a second transparent substrate having other electrodes. Pixel regions are formed at portions where the first electrodes and the other electrodes are opposed to each other. A semitransparent reflecting film is formed between the first transparent substrate and the first electrodes. The semitransparent reflecting film is formed with light transmission apertures in each pixel region. The semitransparent reflecting film also occupies portions corresponding to the gaps between the adjacent pixel regions. Alternatively, in addition to the light transmission apertures, the semitransparent reflecting film is formed with slits at positions corresponding to the gaps between the adjacent pixel regions. A light absorption film is formed between the first transparent substrate and the semitransparent reflecting film at positions corresponding to the slits, or the slits are charged with a light absorption film.

A magnetic bubble memory system with a write protecting function is disclosed. In a power on reset mode or initiallizing mode of an information handling system including the bubble memory system, a bubble memory controller directs to and stores in its own memory, an information representative of a write protecting range for a bubble memory device, from a hidden memory region of the bubble memory device. The bubble memory controller compares the write protecting range to the information designating the address range of the bubble memory device in which a new information is to be written, in response to the write command from a host central processing unit. As a result of the comparison, if the both address ranges overlap each other, the bubble memory controller will execute the write protection and generate a write protection error message for the host CPU.

In a magnetic bubble memory device in which magnetic bubbles are propagated under influence of a rotating magnetic field, a method of controlling a stop operation of a rotating magnetic field in which magnetic field is caused to further rotate beyond the stop direction for a predetermined over-rotation angle and is then caused to return to the stop direction which is followed by the removal of the magnetic field, is presented. The over-rotation angle is in a range of 10 to 40 degrees. The invention is applicable whether bubble drive is performed using a drive current of triangular, square or trapezoidal waveform.

The map loop stores index data and parameter data of the memory chip. By detecting the index data, parameter data addresses are designated, and required parameter data are read out and stored in parameter memories, respectively, so as to allow operation of magnetic bubble memory chips having different storage capacities and different parameters under control of a single control circuit.

The driving circuit for supplying current to coils for generating a rotating magnetic field is divided into a switch side circuit and a driver side circuit so as to pass current through only one of the coils. Each of the switch side circuit and the driver side circuit is constituted by a number of component circuits. The driving circuit comprises (N+M) component circuits for driving (N.times.M) coil circuits, where N represents the number of the component circuits of the switch side circuit and M that of the component circuits of the driver side circuit whereby additional coils may be driven without multiplying the number of driving circuits.
