A lightguide component for illumination devices having first and second exit surfaces at opposite sides, the lightguide component including: a light-receiving portion to receive light emitted from a light source; a lightguide layer having a first principal face at the first exit surface side and a second principal face at the second exit surface side; and a light distribution controlling structure having a plurality of internal spaces. Each of the plurality of internal spaces includes a first slope to direct a portion of light propagating in the lightguide layer toward the first exit surface via total internal reflection, and a second slope at an opposite side from the first slope, and the lightguide component is configured to emit first light having a first intensity distribution through the first exit surface and to emit second light having a second intensity distribution through the second exit surface.

It is determined whether or not an input image is an image converted from an image with a relatively low resolution based on one frame of an image. A resolution determination device includes: an edge strength calculator configured to obtain an edge strength of a pixel included in an input image based on luminance of the pixel and luminance of a pixel adjacent to the pixel, for each of a plurality of pixels included in the input image; and a resolution determiner configured to determine whether or not the input image is an image upconverted from an image with a predetermined resolution or less, based on distribution of the edge strengths.

Resolution determination device, image processor, and image display device

An erectable container having a polygonal bottom plate is formed in the center of a foldable board member and side plates which are integrally provided extending from each edge of the bottom plate, at least one of the side plates being made in a pentagonal form. The pentagonal side plate is provided with two fold lines connecting between the vertexes at each end of the edge corresponding to the bottom plate and the vertex which is not adjacent thereto. An adhesive tab is provided on either one of each pair of lateral edges of the side plates which are adjacent to each other when the sides of the bottom plate are folded, so that, when each of the side plates is erected, the adhesive tab may join the side plates.
