  • Publication number: 20220100069
    Abstract: A chromaticity adjusting method of a projector includes a first light source for emitting blue light and a second light source for emitting yellow light including red light and green light. A chromaticity value of the blue light is acquired and the chromaticity value and the luminance value of each of the red light and the green light is obtained. The second target chromaticity value is determined based on the first target chromaticity value, the chromaticity value of the blue light, and the chromaticity value and the luminance value of each of the red light and the green light. Light quantities of the first and second light sources are controlled based on the second target chromaticity value. Signal levels of the red, green, and blue color components included in the video signal are controlled according to the difference between the first target chromaticity value and the second target chromaticity value.

  • Patent number: 11269469
    Abstract: A technology that can make the touch detection results at corner portions proper is proposed. A display device includes a display panel, a sensor substrate formed on the display panel, and plural drive electrodes and plural detection electrodes extended in a direction so as to intersect with the plural drive electrodes on the sensor substrate. Among the plural drive electrodes, any of the lengths of N first drive electrodes (where N represents the number), which are continuously adjacent to one another, is shorter than any of the lengths of the other drive electrodes. An area where at least one drive electrode among the N first drive electrodes and at least one detection electrode overlap each other is larger than the area of an intersectional portion where any of the other drive electrodes and any of the other detection electrodes overlap each other.

  • Patent number: 11262867
    Abstract: A technology which can improve the accuracy of touch detection is proposed. A display device includes: a touch panel including plural drive electrodes and plural detection electrodes; plural peripheral wirings; and plural switching elements each of which is disposed between a detection electrode and the corresponding peripheral wiring and that is connected to the detection electrode and the corresponding peripheral electrode. The touch panel executes detection by means of a mutual detection scheme using the plural drive electrodes and the plural detection electrodes. In a condition in which a predefined voltage is applied to the peripheral wirings when the plural switching elements are in an off-state, the voltages of the drive electrodes are changed, and subsequently a condition in which the changes of the voltages of the drive electrodes can be detected from the peripheral wirings is set, and the switching elements are turned from off to on.
