  • Publication number: 20240244732
    Abstract: Provided is a novel light adjustment program that can make a human feel at ease. Provided is the light adjustment program that includes the steps of obtaining basic data having 1/f fluctuation characteristics; generating first smoothed data and second smoothed data by performing moving average processing with different periods on the basic data having 1/f fluctuation characteristics; generating light adjustment data by subjecting the first smoothed data and the second smoothed data to arithmetic processing; and changing luminance of a light-emitting device in time series in accordance with the light adjustment data.

  • Patent number: 12019483
    Abstract: An angle adjustment device capable of being kept at a desired angle is provided. The angle adjustment device can fix and keep the relative positions of the first base component and the second base component, and a support with a combination of the angle adjustment device and components such as a flat plate can keep the entire body in a shape opened on a plane, a folded shape, a shape kept at a desired angle, or the like. In addition, the angle adjustment device can make a bending movement in one direction, which prevents bending in a reverse direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accidental bending movement of an apparatus including the angle adjustment device to prevent breakage or the like of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20240155933
    Abstract: When a base film used in a flexible display panel is bonded to a resin member for fixing the base film that is curved, the base film has creases by an environmental change such as temperature due to difference in linear expansion coefficient before and after a thermal shock. A buffer plate that is thin enough to be bent is provided between the base film used in a flexible display panel and the resin member. With the use of heat dissipation effect and heat equalization effect of the buffer plate, a structure around the panel capable of resisting the environmental change can be provided.
