Abstract: When the excitation frequency of a touch panel and the frequency of external noise match or are close, noise cannot be removed by a bandpass filter. In addition, when a touch detection operating period is limited to a short period such as the no addressing period, the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) decreases because frequency separation decreases and the noise removal effect by averaging is degraded. An electronic device of the present invention includes a sensor system (101), an excitation generator (102) that generates an intermittent sinusoidal signal and applies this signal to the sensor system, and a demodulator (105) that demodulates the amplitude modulated signal that is the output of the sensor system.

Abstract: A translucent liquid crystal display panel (2) includes pixel pairs as display units each formed by a left-eye pixel (4L) and a right-eye pixel (4R) and arranged in a matrix shape. A through hole (4Ld) arranged in a color layer (4Lc) of a color filter has a slit shape whose longitudinal direction is identical to the orientation direction of a cylindrical lens (3a) constituting a lenticular lens (3). Similarly, a through hole (4Rd) arranged in a color layer (4Rc) of a color filter has a slit shape whose longitudinal direction is identical to the orientation direction of the cylindrical lens (3a) constituting the lenticular lens (3). This suppresses the phenomenon that a hue is changed by a field-of-view angle and/or an external light condition on the translucent display panel capable of displaying an image directed to a plurality of viewpoints.

Abstract: To stabilize the alignment direction in the boundary between two regions in a structure in which a pixel includes two regions where the initial alignment directions of the liquid crystal are orthogonal to each other. A pixel is divided into a first region, a second region, and a boundary region between those regions. The initial alignment directions of the liquid crystal in the first region and the second region are orthogonal to each other, the extending directions of the pixel electrode in the first region and the second region are also orthogonal to each other. The extending direction of the pixel electrode in the first region meets the pixel electrode of the second region when extended. The initial alignment direction of the liquid crystal in the boundary region is a direction rotated in a same rotating direction from the initial alignment direction of the first region at an acute angle.

Abstract: X and Y electrodes arranged on a support substrate of the tactile sense presentation device are divided into M groups (here, M?2, M=4 in FIG. 14). When a presentation content of a tactile sense transits from the N-th frame to the (N+1)-th frame, the device, first, sets electrodes belonging to a group 1 to a floating state for a predetermined time and then, connects each electrode to an AC voltage signal source or the ground so as to present a tactile sense in the (N+1)-th frame. The device sequentially performs this operation for each group, and, when the operation of group M ends, transition between frames ends, and movement of the target area in which a texture sense is presented is completed. There is no case where all the electrodes are in the floating state together, and there is no interruption of the texture sense.
