  • Patent number: 11967294
    Abstract: A common electrode driver includes an inverting amplifier including a first resistor, a second resistor, and an operational amplifier, and a resistance ratio adjustment circuit that adjusts, in accordance with a length of one horizontal scan period, a resistance ratio being a ratio of a resistance value of the second resistor to a resistance value of the first resistor. A feedback voltage is provided to one end of the first resistor. The resistance ratio adjustment circuit sets the resistance ratio when second driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is a second time longer than a first time, to be smaller than the resistance ratio when first driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is the first time.

  • Publication number: 20240017669
    Abstract: A display image is obtained by superimposing an image showing a vehicle on a captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from the vehicle. For example, the image showing the vehicle is a computer graphics image. For example, a change is made in a superimposed positional relationship between the captured image and the image showing the vehicle in accordance with motion of a viewpoint of a driver. Since the display image is not only made from the captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from the vehicle, but the display image is obtained by superimposing the image showing the vehicle on the captured image, it is possible to easily provide a sense of distance by motion parallax.

  • Publication number: 20210101547
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control device, a control method, a program, and a mobile object which are capable of improving convenience. Pressure distributions for a plurality of measurement ranges of a seat on which a user is seated, and time variations of the pressure distributions are measured, and operation of a device or the seat is controlled according to the measurement result. Furthermore, it is determined that a behavior of the user is a gesture for a predetermined operation input, and control according to the gesture is performed. At this time, it is determined whether it is a gesture of the user intended to be the operation input or a posture change of the user not intended to be the operation input. The present technique is applicable to, for example, a control processing device that performs control processing for a seat for vehicle.
