Atsunori Ooyama has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10964258
    Abstract: A display device is provided. The display device includes a display region. The display region has a plurality of pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels comprises a switching transistor having a gate electrically connected to a scanning line and controlling the input of an image signal provided from a signal line, a drive transistor input with the image signal through the switching transistor and controlling a current value based on the image signal, a display element having a first electrode electrically connected to the driving transistor and emitting light by a current supplied through the drive transistor, a storage capacitor having a first electrode electrically connected to a gate of the drive transistor, and a reset transistor connected between the first electrode of the display element and a reset line, and having a gate electrically connected to the scanning line.

  • Patent number: 9001075
    Abstract: A display device having a touch panel function includes a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in a matrix shape and sensing circuits arranged in a region between the adjacent pixel circuits for reading out a magnitude of coupling capacitance. A display driver writes a display signal in the pixel circuit every row line by driving the scanning lines and signal lines in a display operation period. A sensing driver senses a signal showing magnitude of the coupling capacitance from the sensing circuit every row line by driving the plurality of scanning lines and signal lines in a sensing operation period. The display operation period and the sensing operation period are repeated in turns. A voltage in a range used for the displaying operation is written into the signal line in a preliminary writing operation period between after the sensing operation period and before the display operation period.

  • Publication number: 20070018942
    Abstract: A light source driving device includes a switching circuit which switches a direct-current voltage supplied externally, a piezoelectric transformer which raises the voltage output from the switching circuit and which allows an alternating current to flow through a cold-cathode fluorescent tube, and a control circuit to change the duty ratio as a ratio per unit time at which the alternating current is output from the switching circuit in order to dim the cold-cathode fluorescent tube. The switching circuit includes resistors RA, RB which set the tilt of the envelope waveform to increase the fall time of the envelope waveform of the alternating current flowing through the cold-cathode fluorescent tube.
