  • Patent number: 12037055
    Abstract: A steering control device includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to calculate a target rotation angle of a shaft rotating with a turning operation of turning wheels based on a steering angle of a steering wheel acquired from a rotation angle of a reaction motor, to calculate a command value based on the target rotation angle and a steering torque acquired from a torsion angle of a torsion bar twisting with an operation of the steering wheel, and to compensate for the torsion angle by adding the torsion angle as a compensation value to the steering angle. The electronic control unit is configured to change a value of the torsion angle that is added to the steering angle according to a degree of change of a state variable used to calculate the command value.

  • Publication number: 20240194130
    Abstract: A display device includes: a display that displays an image based on image data; a backlight device that irradiates the display with light; an image determiner that determines, based on the image data, whether the image includes a target image having a contrast higher than a reference contrast; and a luminance value setter that sets each luminance value of the image based on the image data, wherein when the image determiner determines that the image includes the target image, the luminance value setter changes the luminance value set for at least one of two or more areas in the target image to reduce a difference between the luminance values of the two or more areas in the target image set based on the image data.

  • Patent number: 10553174
    Abstract: In a display device in which source lines on a display panel are driven from both ends, when a connection confirmation signal (S2) output from a source board (13) indicates abnormality, a power supply circuit (18) on a control board (12) stops outputting a power supply voltage (Va) used when source drivers drive the source lines. The control board (12) outputs a high-level connection confirmation signal (S1) to the source board (13), the source board (13) outputs the connection confirmation signal (S1) to the control board (12) as the connection confirmation signal (S2), and the control board (12) pulls down the connection confirmation signal (S2) to a low level. With this, it is possible to prevent serious damage from occurring even when a connection failure or the like occurs.
