Abstract: It is presented a text input method for an electronic apparatus with a touch sensitive display, the apparatus comprising a user interface, wherein a virtual keyboard is displayed on the display so as to facilitate input of an intended character for a user by touching keys of the virtual keyboard with a pointer, wherein the intended character is determined by considering: a plurality of candidate characters, the plurality of candidate characters being determined with regard to a raw distance, the raw distance being a distance between a first position, the first position being a position of a detected touch of the pointer, and a position corresponding to a character, and linguistic probabilities of each character of the plurality of candidate characters being an intended character. A corresponding electronic apparatus and computer program product are also presented.

Abstract: An electrophoretic display device includes M×N numbers (M, and N are integers more than two) of pixels. The M×N numbers of pixels include M numbers of pixel groups having N numbers of pixels. Further, an image on the electrophoretic display device is displayed by making some of the M×N numbers of pixels switched at least from a bright display to a dark display, and vice versa. A period for displaying one piece of an image on the electrophoretic display is defined as period for forming an image and a period for introducing an image signal to each of the M×N numbers of pixels with sequentially selecting each of the pixels is defined as a frame period. Then, the time for forming an image includes a plurality of frame periods (a numbers of L: L is integers more than two).

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a display unit for a vehicle. The display unit has an attractive and three dimensional appearance and is manufactured with low cost. A display unit for a vehicle includes a display screen having display areas displaying a plurality of informations about conditions of the vehicle, a first controller for controlling images displayed on the display screen, and a display partition member disposed on a part of the display areas and having an opening, wherein the first controller controls the display screen to display an image of a display design of a dial on a first display area surrounded by the opening of the display partition member and to rotate the image of the display design based on a prescribed display change specifier signal.

Abstract: An amplification circuit comprises a capacitor arrangement (42) and a switching arrangement. The capacitor arrangement has a first capacitor (C2) which has a voltage-dependent capacitance and a second capacitor (C1) (which may also be voltage-dependent). The circuit is operable in two modes, a first mode in which the input voltage is provided to one terminal of at least the first capacitor, and a second mode in which the switching arrangement causes charge to be redistributed between the first and second capacitors such that the voltage across the first capacitor changes to reduce the capacitance of the first capacitor, the output voltage being dependent on the resulting voltage across the first capacitor. The invention uses a voltage controlled capacitance in combination with charge sharing between capacitors, which has the result of providing a voltage amplification characteristic. This arrangement can thus be used for the amplification of an analogue voltage, or the boosting of a fixed level (i.e.

Abstract: The present invention provides a display device which includes a common electrode drive circuit having the single channel constitution which can miniaturize a circuit scale without increasing elements compared to a conventional display device. A display device includes a plurality of pixels and a common electrode drive circuit. The common electrode drive circuit includes a plurality of basic circuits, wherein the basic circuit includes a first circuit which latches a first input signal at a point of time that a clock signal is changed to a first voltage level from a second voltage level; a second circuit which latches a second input signal at the point of time that the clock signal is changed to the first voltage level from the second voltage level; a first switching circuit which is turned on based on the first circuit; and a second switching circuit which is turned on based on the the second circuit.
