The invention relates to switch mode power supply modules and items of equipment powered by these modules. The power supply module comprises circuits for cyclically interrupting the switching operation, during a so-called switching operation interruption phase, if the load current of the module is less than a current threshold value and sustaining the switching operation, during a so-called switching operation phase, if the load current is greater than the load current threshold value and circuits for ending the switching operation interruption phase if the power supply voltage of the item of equipment is greater than a voltage threshold value. The item of equipment powered by the module comprises a capacitive element able to store energy from the module during the switching operation phase and to release the energy stored between the output terminals of the power supply module when it receives an activation signal.

Display apparatuses and methods are provided. A display apparatus includes a display module, a driving device that is configured to deform the display module from a flat surface state to a curved surface state and deform the display module from the flat surface state to the curved surface state, and a base member that is disposed at a rear of the display module and supports the driving device.

To record and reproduce sound and an image so that content which entertains a viewer and which prevents the viewer from being bored is provided while realistic sensation is provided.

Upon recording, image information shot by a plurality of cameras is recorded together with position and posture information of each camera, and acoustic information from a plurality of sound sources is recorded together with position information of each sound source. Upon reproduction, an image at a position of a viewer (eye direction) is reproduced, and a sound image is localized at the position of the viewer so that content which entertains the viewer and which prevents the viewer from being bored is provided while sound with realistic sensation is provided.

Provided is a display apparatus including: a display panel; an exterior member made up of a plurality of separated bezels each disposed on a front surface side of a peripheral portion of the display panel; and at least one joint members disposed on inner sides of the bezels at at least one portion where the bezels are separated so as to connect the adjacent bezels, wherein each of the joint members has a first portion having elasticity and supporting a lower end of the display panel, and a second portion having higher rigidity than the first portion and making contact with the inner side of the bezel.

A display device includes a curved display module which includes a signal receiver receiving an image signal from an outside source, an image display part displaying an image corresponding to the image signal and being curved, and a frame surrounding at least a portion of an edge of the image display part and a stand which includes a signal transmitter transmitting the image signal and a coupling part in which a curved groove is defined where a portion of the curved display module is accommodated in the groove.

An illumination device, including: a light source; a light guide plate having a light-entering face into which light from the light source enters and a light-exiting surface; a reflective sheet covering at least a portion on a light-entering face side of a bottom surface of the light guide plate; a chassis on a side of the reflective sheet opposite to the light guide plate, including at least a plate-shaped portion along the bottom surface of the light guide plate and a cut-out in the plate-shaped portion on the light-entering face side; and an opposite-side member on a side of the chassis opposite to the light guide plate, including a protrusion protruding from a light guide plate-side of a top surface of the opposite-side member through the cut-out towards the light guide plate, a top of the protrusion supporting a portion of the reflective sheet on the light-entering face side.

A light guide body includes: a light incident portion on which light is incident; a light guiding portion which is adapted to guide the light incident on the light incident portion; and a light emitting portion which is adapted to emit the light guided by the light guiding portion. One of the light incident portion and the light guiding portion is extended in a first direction, and the light emitting portion is extended in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.
