  • Publication number: 20260002661
    Abstract: A control device for an illumination device is configured to control an illumination device by controlling a diffusion degree of light emitted from a light source. The control device includes: a touch sensor having a detection region; and a display panel provided with a display region overlapping the detection region of the touch sensor in plan view. A determination region provided in the detection region and configured to detect a predetermined touch operation. Touch operations to be detected in the determination region include a first touch operation defined by at least one of the number of touches or the duration of touch in the determination region and a second touch operation different from the first touch operation. The diffusion degree of the illumination device is increased when the first touch operation is detected. The diffusion degree of the illumination device is decreased when the second touch operation is detected.
