Patent number: 10216306Abstract: A touch panel-equipped display device includes at least: a display control unit to supply a scan signal and a data signal to a display control element; and a touch position detection control unit to supply a drive signal to a drive electrode, and to detect a position detection signal from a detection electrode to detect a touch position. The display control unit supplies the data signal sequentially to a plurality of display control elements connected respectively to a plurality of pixel electrodes constituting one display pixel. The touch position detection control unit starts supplying the drive signal, in a period that is within a scan write period during which the scan signal is supplied to the display control element and is other than a period during which the data signal is supplied to the display control element corresponding to a color highest in luminosity of a plurality of colors.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazutoshi Kida, Kenshi Tada, Takenori Maruyama, Hideki Shioe, Yutaka Ishida, Takashi Saitoh, Kazuyoshi Maeda, Hideo Hosorogi, Kohji Michibayashi

Patent number: 7091789Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an output circuit capable of reducing a consumption current while an output current is suppressed in a case where limitation is placed on an output voltage so as not to fall to a predetermined voltage or less in an output circuit the emitter of which is grounded, the base of which serves as an input node for a control current and the collector of which serves as an output node. Provided are a base current supply section for supplying a base current to the output transistor according to an input signal from the outside, and a base current control section for detecting an inter-terminal voltage between the collector and emitter of the output transistor to control a base current supplied from the base current supply section so as not to cause the inter-terminal voltage to fall to a value lower than a predetermined voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hideki Shioe
