  • Patent number: 11194021
    Abstract: An electromagnetic wave detection apparatus (10) includes an irradiator (11), a first detector (17), a propagation unit (20), a memory (13), and a controller (14). The irradiator (11) irradiates electromagnetic waves. The first detector (17) detects reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves irradiated onto an object (ob). The propagation unit (20) includes propagation elements (px). By irradiation position of the electromagnetic waves irradiated onto the object (ob), the propagation elements (px) switch between propagating and not propagating the reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves towards the first detector (17). The memory (13) stores related information. The controller (14) updates the related information based on the position of the propagation element (px) that is propagating the reflected waves toward the first detector (17) when the first detector (17) detects the reflected waves.

  • Publication number: 20210064215
    Abstract: An LCD controller that controls display of an input image on an LCD provides a horizontal cycle to interrupt an update operation of a display line of the LCD during vertical effective scanning periods between vertical blanking periods of an output image to the LCD by making a horizontal cycle of the output image to the LCD shorter than a horizontal cycle of the input image while maintaining a frame cycle of the output image to the LCD equal to a frame cycle of the input image. In addition, the LCD controller causes a touch panel controller to execute a scanning operation of a touch panel during the vertical blanking periods of the output image to the LCD and the horizontal cycle in which the update operation of the display line of the LCD is interrupted.
