  • Patent number: 11847288
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a base substrate, a cover panel, a first electrode formed outside of a display region on a back surface of the cover panel, and a second electrode formed outside of the display region on a front surface of the base substrate. A pressure when the base substrate is pressed by the pointer through the cover panel is detected by measuring a change of a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode when the front surface of the cover panel is pressed as a change of electrostatic capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode. The touch panel further includes a ground electrode formed on an outer peripheral side of the first electrode of the cover panel.

  • Patent number: 10254896
    Abstract: A display includes a touch sensor panel, a panel controller, a case, and a signal generation circuit. The touch sensor panel includes a touch sensor. The panel controller measures a capacitance of the touch sensor. The case accommodates the display, in which at least the touch sensor panel and the panel controller are disposed. The signal generation circuit is capable of applying an AC signal to a ground of the panel controller. The case is electrically connected to the ground of the panel controller. When the signal generation circuit applies the AD signal to the ground, the panel controller measures the capacitance of the touch sensor.

  • Patent number: 10146370
    Abstract: In a touch panel device, an output control unit controls a process of outputting touch information acquired by a sensing unit and a touch detection unit of a touch sensor panel to host equipment, where the information indicates presence or absence and a coordinate of a touch of an indicator to the touch sensor panel. A state sensing unit senses an operation state of the sensing unit or the touch detection unit. A state restoration unit restores the sensing unit or the touch detection unit in the abnormal state to a normal state, based on a detection result of the state sensing unit. Upon detecting an abnormal state in the state sensing unit, an output control unit stops an output of the touch information to the host equipment for a fixed period of time.

  • Patent number: 9959642
    Abstract: A vector data selection unit selects, from a vector file of a past line graph, each vector data of a time period where a new line graph overlaps. An attribute value setting unit sets, of the vector data selected, a high transparency degree value to oldest vector data, sets a low transparency degree value to newest vector data, and sets an intermediate transparency degree value to intermediate vector data. A graph display unit displays a portion of a time period of the past line graph where the new line graph overlaps, with a gradation.

  • Publication number: 20160147378
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an image display apparatus that suppresses the load on the CPU and the internal storage and suppresses an increase in stress to the user. The image display apparatus of the present invention includes a display, an internal storage, an interface connectable to an external storage, a receiver, and a controller. The external storage stores at least one piece of image data and at least one piece of thumbnail image data obtained by reducing the image data. The controller switches between a thumbnail display mode in which thumbnail image data transferred from the external storage to the internal storage is displayed on the display and a full screen display mode in which original image data of thumbnail image data is transferred from the external storage to the internal storage and displayed on the display, on the basis of inputs to the receiver.
