  • Publication number: 20210259565
    Abstract: A biometric apparatus includes a light source, an image sensor, a control circuit, and a signal processing circuit. The control circuit causes a light source to repeatedly emit a light pulse radiated onto a target part including a head of a target, causes an image sensor to receive a reflected light pulse which is caused as the light pulse is radiated onto the target part, causes the image sensor to output first image data indicating appearance of a face of the target, and causes the image sensor to output second image data according to distribution of an amount of light of at least one of components of the reflected light pulse. The signal processing circuit generates data indicating a state of the target based on a temporal change in the first image data and a temporal change in the second image data and outputs the data.

  • Publication number: 20200249524
    Abstract: To provide a method of manufacturing an optical film formed on a plastic substrate. There is provided a method of manufacturing an optical film including the steps of laminating a separation layer and an optical filter on a first substrate, separating the optical filter from the first substrate, attaching the optical filter to a second substrate. Since the optical film manufactured according to the invention has flexibility, it can be provided on a portion or a display device having a curved surface. Further, the optical film is not processed at high temperatures, and hence, an optical film having high yield with high reliability can be formed. Furthermore, an optical film having an excellent impact resistance property can be formed.

  • Publication number: 20180018899
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a communication interface that receives biological data regarding a user, a memory that stores the biological data, and a processor that determines a type of feeling experienced by the user in a certain period using the biological data. The processor estimates an event that has occurred to the user in the certain period, stores, in a database, feeling history information in which the certain period, feeling type information indicating the type of feeling, and event information indicating the estimated event are associated with one another, generates, if the feeling type information indicates a feeling of pleasure, image data using the associated event information, and outputs a notification for displaying the image data to a terminal device used by the user.
