  • Patent number: 8610670
    Abstract: The imaging and display apparatus is provided. The imaging and display apparatus includes the following elements. An imaging-and-display panel has an image display function and an imaging function. A generation unit generates a difference image representing a difference between a display-light-based image and a shadow image, the display-light-based image being obtained by the imaging-and-display panel by imaging an object close to the imaging-and-display panel using display light from the imaging-and-display panel, the shadow image being obtained by the imaging-and-display panel by imaging a shadow of the object. An image processing unit obtains information concerning at least one of a position, shape, and size of the object taking the shadow image and the difference image into account.

  • Patent number: 8351055
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a display apparatus including an input/output section for displaying an image as well as detecting a light beam representing an input received from an external source and is capable of handling inputs received from the external source as inputs destined for a plurality of points on a display screen. The apparatus further includes a target generation section configured to generate information on a target located on the display screen to represent a series of inputs received from the external source on the basis of a timewise or spatial relation between input portions located on the display screen as portions receiving inputs from the external source. The apparatus still further includes an event generation section configured to recognize an event representing a change of a state of the target on the basis of the information on the target and generate information on the event.

  • Patent number: 8300005
    Abstract: The present invention is to reduce power consumption in a display that concurrently (or alternately) implements light emission and light reception in parallel. A display is provided with a display panel configuration including a plurality of display elements arranged in a matrix and a plurality of light-receiving elements that are disposed adjacent to the plurality of display elements and receive light incident on a display plane. In addition, the display includes a position detector that determines the position of contact or proximity to the display plane based on a light reception signal arising from light reception by the light-receiving elements. Furthermore, the display includes a controller that shifts the displaying state or the position detection state from the low power consumption mode to the normal operation mode if the position detector has determined the presence of contact or proximity in a predetermined state.

  • Patent number: 7500615
    Abstract: A highly reliable display apparatus, a highly reliable communication system, and a highly reliable communication method capable of performing delivery of high capacity information surely are provided. A display apparatus and an input and output terminal respectively include a light-receiving-emitting section capable of displaying moving pictures and receiving light. The input and output terminal sequentially displays each symbol composing a two-dimensional dynamic code on the light-receiving-emitting section. The display apparatus reads each symbol by the light-receiving-emitting section, acquires symbol-transmission-receiving-status information based on the read symbol, determines display conditions based on the symbol-transmission-receiving-status information, and then displays each symbol of the two-dimensional dynamic code based on the display conditions.
