  • Patent number: 11936827
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a light transmitting member provided at a reading position set in a conveyance path and an opposite plate opposed thereto, and a document being conveyed passes between this opposite plate and the light transmitting member. On an opposing surface of the opposite plate to the light transmitting member, a low brightness area, for example, like a gray color and a high brightness area, for example, like a white color, having a higher brightness than the low brightness area are formed adjacent to each other in a conveyance direction of the document. Then, an image reader sets a home position of a scanning unit to a first position or a second position corresponding to either the low brightness area or the high brightness area to read the document passing through the reading position.

  • Patent number: 11935473
    Abstract: In a display device that changes the number of light emissions per frame period, a display control circuit outputs a control signal specifying an emission period included in a frame period to an emission control line driver circuit. The emission control line driver circuit adds sequential delays to the control signal and thereby generates signals to be applied to the emission control lines. When leading and trailing frame periods have the same proportion of emission periods but include different numbers of emission periods, the leading and trailing frame periods are intervened by a transition frame period having a different proportion of emission periods from the leading frame period. This configuration prevents flickering caused by the changing of the number of light emissions per frame period.

  • Patent number: 11928375
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a job acquirer that acquires a job; a function executor that executes a function requested for the acquired job; and a completion notification selector that selects a timing for transmitting, to an information processing apparatus, a process completion notification indicating normal termination of execution of the function after the function is executed. The timing for transmitting the process completion notification to the information processing apparatus includes a job execution completion time that is a time when the execution of the function normally terminates and a job acquisition completion time that is a time before the execution of the function starts. In a status where there is a function currently being executed and no new job is acquirable, the completion notification selector selects the job acquisition completion time as the timing for transmitting the process completion notification to the information processing apparatus.
