1. A flat display apparatus comprising:
a flat display panel; and
an optical filter bonded to a display screen surface of the flat display panel by a transparent adhesive material, the optical filter including an electromagnetic-wave blocking layer and an infrared-radiation absorbing and color-tone correcting layer, with the electromagnetic-wave blocking layer laminated closer to the flat display panel than the infrared-radiation absorbing and color-tone correcting layer,
wherein an outer edge portion of the electromagnetic-wave blocking layer of the optical filter is exposed from the infrared-radiation absorbing and color-tone correcting layer and serves as an earth connecting portion.
2. The flat display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the refractive index of the transparent adhesive material is 1.4-1.6.
3. The flat display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the thickness of the optical filter bonded to the flat display panel, including the thickness of the transparent adhesive material, is 0.5 mm or more.
4. The flat display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the optical filter further includes an ambient light antireflective layer, and is formed by laminating at first the electromagnetic-wave blocking layer, then the infrared-radiation absorbing and color-tone correcting layer, and finally the ambient light antireflective layer.
5. The flat display apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the area of the electromagnetic-wave blocking layer is made larger than the area of each of the infrared-radiation absorbing and color-tone correcting layer and the ambient light antireflective layer, thereby exposing the outer edge portion of the electromagnetic-wave blocking layer.
6. The flat display apparatus according to claim 4, wherein a notch is formed in the infrared-radiation absorbing and color-tone correcting layer as well as in the ambient light antireflective layer, thereby exposing the electromagnetic-wave blocking layer within the notch.
7. The flat display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a black coating is formed on the earth connecting portion which is provided in a non-displaying area of the outer edge portion of the flat display panel.
8. The flat display apparatus according to claim 7, wherein position aligning marks are formed on the black coating.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An apparatus to manage a virtual cache hierarchy with a peer agent and a home agent comprising:
a requesting node to request cached data from the peer agent and the home agent, the requesting node being a member of a local cluster of peer nodes, the cluster including at least the peer agent and the home agent;
the peer agent being coupled to communicate with a first plurality of nodes, each node in the first plurality of nodes having at least a cache memory, the peer agent having a control circuit and memory coupled to communicate with the first plurality of nodes to represent a second plurality of nodes, wherein the first plurality of nodes interact with the peer agent using the predetermined cache coherency protocol; and
the home agent being coupled to communicate with the first plurality of nodes to represent at least one remote node, wherein each of the first plurality of nodes operates as a home node, an address of a cache line of the cache memory being used to designate the home node, the home agent selectively storing data corresponding to a predetermined range in non-cache memory such that the home node for requested data having an address within the respective predetermined range provides a copy of the requested data from non-cache memory if a valid, cached copy of the requested data is not available.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein a node comprises:
a processor;
at least one cache memory coupled with the processor; and
non-cache memory coupled with the processor.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the home agent represents a plurality of remote nodes that operate as home nodes for respective predetermined ranges of addresses to selectively store data corresponding to the predetermined ranges in non-cache memories and further wherein, wherein the first plurality of nodes interact with the home agent using the predetermined cache coherency protocol.
