Abstract: A touch panel display includes a display panel having a plurality of pixel regions that emit light, and a touch sensor having an electrode configuration that overlays the display panel. The electrode configuration includes a first electrode and a second electrode that are separated by an insulating region. The electrode separation distance between the first and second electrodes is in a range whereby (1) with increasing electrode separation distance a first rate of proportional decrease in mutual capacitance between the first and second electrodes is greater than a second rate of proportional decrease in signal magnitude of an output signal, and (2) a ratio (R) of the first rate to the second rate satisfies the relationship 1.0<R<2.5. With such parameters, the electrode separation distance may be from 30 ?m to 50 ?m, and/or from 0.5 to 0.75 times a pixel pitch of the pixel regions.

Abstract: The amount of memory required for CCLM prediction is reduced. The CCLM prediction parameter derivation unit (310442) derives a scale shift value corresponding to a luma difference value, and derives a CCLM prediction parameter, by shifting, by using the scale shift value, a value obtained by multiplying a value of a table referred to with a value obtained by performing right shift of the luma difference value by the scale shift value as an index and a chroma difference value. In addition, in a case of deriving a prediction image, a bit width is reduced by adaptively deriving a shift amount of a linear prediction parameter from the chroma difference value.
