  • Patent number: 8975567
    Abstract: A coordinate detector includes a light output part, a light detection part, a first guide part, and a second guide part. The light output part emits light. The light detection part outputs a detection signal according to the amount of entering light. The light output part and the light detection part are provided in an area around a display part on a side closer to a first surface of the display part than to its second surface facing away from the first surface. The first guide part guides light emitted from the light output part toward a direction along the first surface. The second guide part guides, toward the light detection part, light exiting from the first guide part and passing over the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20150023636
    Abstract: An optical connector has an optical waveguide slit and a pass-through hole. The optical waveguide slit is a hole that extends from an insertion surface of a connector body into the connector body. The optical waveguide slit accommodates a sheet-like optical waveguide whose tip abuts against a slit bottom. The pass-through hole is provided near the slit bottom, and passes through the top surface of the connector body and the top surface of the optical waveguide slit.

  • Publication number: 20080303784
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a control portion and an IF portion. Haptic sense presentation devices are connected to the IF portion. The control portion calculates an area of an image object based on features of the image object and determines the calculated area of the image object as a virtual mass of the image object. The control portion calculates an acceleration of the image object based on the current and previous features of the image object. The control portion calculates a force to be presented to the haptic sense presentation device connected to IF portion based on the virtual mass and the acceleration of the image object and outputs a signal indicative of the calculated force to the haptic sense presentation device.
