Abstract: First pivot lever is connected to a fuel-lid opening rod, and a sensor is connected to the first pivot lever for detecting a projected state and retracted state of the opening rod. Second pivot lever connected to a slide-door locking member is pressed against the first pivot lever via a tension spring. As the opening rod is retracted by closing movement of the fuel lid, the second pivot lever is pressed by the first pivot lever, while, as the opening rod is projected, the second pivot lever is caused to pivot together with the first moving member by a biasing force of the tension spring.

Abstract: A d.c. voltage is supplied to an inverter power source to drive a light source. Light from the light source is directed uniformly from the back side of a liquid crystal panel. When an image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel during a display period and a position detection pen is in close proximity to the liquid crystal panel at a position detection period, coordinates are calculated according to an induced voltage by the position detection pen and the timing of applying a scanning voltage to an electrode of the liquid crystal panel. The driving of the light source by the inverter power source is suspended or reduced during the position detection period, so that noise from the inverter power source is prevented from being mixed into the position detection pen.

Abstract: A pen input apparatus includes an inversion signal generation circuit for generating an inversion signal to invert the direction of applied voltage to liquid crystal of a liquid crystal panel. There is a first conversion circuit to detect a voltage induced at a detection pen according to the inversion signal generated by the inversion signal generation circuit for converting the induced voltage into a direct-current voltage. A comparator circuit is included for comparing a voltage value of the direct-current voltage converted by the first conversion circuit with a predetermined value to determine whether the detection pen is close to the liquid crystal panel. A detection period signal generation circuit is used for turning on a back light of the liquid crystal panel when the first conversion circuit is not detecting an induced voltage, and for turning off the back light when the first conversion circuit is detecting an induced voltage.
