  • Patent number: 11902698
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a display apparatus that can more reliably suppress effects of heating. Provided is a display apparatus that includes a signal processing section, a panel section, and a vibration section. The signal processing section processes a video image signal and a sound signal. The panel section is in a plate shape and displays a video image corresponding to the video image signal. The vibration section is arranged on a back face side of the panel section and vibrates the panel section according to the sound signal. The signal processing section calculates a correction value for suppressing an amount of light emitted by the panel section on the basis of the sound signal and controls a level of the video image signal on the basis of the calculated correction value.

  • Patent number: 11158362
    Abstract: Each pre-sense amplifier produces, in a read operation, an output potential obtained by resistively dividing a power supply voltage based on a potential of one of two first bit lines or one of a plurality of second bit lines. The two first bit lines are connected to a first memory cell holding data of a first and a second logic values. The second bit lines are individually connected to one of a plurality of second memory cells each holding data of the first or the second logic value. Each twin sense amplifier outputs, in the read operation, data determination results based on two reference potentials and a data potential. The two reference potentials are the output potentials produced based on the potentials of the two first bit lines. The data potential is the output potential produced based on the potential of one of the second bit lines.
