  • Publication number: 20240019815
    Abstract: A module which enables slimming down and a timepiece provided with the module are provided. The timepiece module includes a timepiece movement which is a driving section that moves pointers, and a liquid crystal display panel which has an opening section where the timepiece movement is arranged, and is arranged in parallel with the timepiece movement. Since the timepiece movement is arranged in the opening section of the liquid crystal display panel and positioned in parallel with the liquid crystal display panel, the timepiece movement and the liquid crystal display panels do not vertically overlap with each other, whereby the slimming down of the entire timepiece module can be achieved, which enables the slimming down of the entire wristwatch.

  • Publication number: 20230410775
    Abstract: An input interface device includes at least one processor. The processor performs control to cause, among light emitters, a first light emitter corresponding to a contact/proximity point detected by a detector to emit light with a luminous intensity higher than that of a remaining light emitter. The contact/proximity point is where an object is in contact with or in proximity to a detection surface. The processor further performs control, while the object is moving along the light emitters in a state in which the object is in contact with or in proximity to the detection surface, to gradually reduce a luminous intensity of, among the light emitters, a second light emitter corresponding to a point where the object being in contact with or in proximity to the detection surface once detected by the detector is no longer detected to put out the second light emitter in a predetermined time.
