In the group which is established to 2007 February with American Washington DC, as for predecessor rating of the contents on the net (grade) and ICRA of the non profit-making organization which promotes filtering (Internet Content Rating Association). Attendant upon the establishment of FOSI, the activity of ICRA became the portion of FOSI.

FOSI, while protecting the freedom of expression on the net, has aimed toward the construction of the kind of environment which is not exposed to harmful information in the [ri] where the child is seeing, industry and promotion etc of conversation of the governmental official world are done concerning the degree of laws which promotion and is related and of filtering of the contents by the guardian.

One kind of image sensor which the Foveon corporation developed, can inspect 3 primary colors of light with one element. It is used in the image pickup element of the digital camera.

CCD and the CMOS image sensor etc in the image pickup element which is used from the past with the digital camera, as for one element the monochromatic photodetector of 1 layer (the photo detector) it consists, it detects just that color either one of red blue green through the filter of one color. The picture of full color was obtained and, 3 colors by repeatedly arranging into order.

The element of Foveon X3 consists of the photodetector of 3 layer which corresponds to 3 primary colors, it is possible with one element to inspect the color of one pixel with full color. Synthesizing the lust information of the adjacent 3 points, if it is possible and the former system which detects the color of the pixel compared to reproduce lust information accurately it is the same picture prime, it can obtain the picture of high picture quality. In addition, the color filter being unnecessary, it is said that it is profitable even costwise, e.g., the number of elements can be reduced.

FPD <Flat panel display>

Full spelling: Flat Panel Display
Alias:
Flat display and flat display
Field:
Imaging > display > FPD

The frame the display equipment where with plate shape the picture becomes plane surface.

From the past, the frame of the CRT display which is main current is designed to be the structure where the picture tube pushes out largely in the inner part, also the picture had roundness. The flat panel display where the picture is flat in the economical space which is produced vis-a-vis this, by the technological innovation of recent years attracts attention. There is also a system which has the subsidiary merit such as economical electric power, various systems are produced, are researched.

The liquid crystal display which first is utilized with FPD had problem in indicatory possible color number and the rate of reaction etc for the change of the picture, but it has cancelled also those problems with recent technological innovation. As for the technology which actualizes FPD it is several in addition to the liquid crystal, LED (the light-emitting diode), EL (Electro Luminescence), VFD (the fluorescent character display tube), PDP (the plasma display panel) and the like is in typical ones.
