  • Patent number: 11218693
    Abstract: Provided is a sensor unit driving device capable of protruding and retracting a sensor unit for sensing a display surface without projecting a bezel in front of a display surface while reducing a width of a bezel. The present invention is to provide a sensor unit driving device comprising a display panel comprising a display surface for displaying an image, a sensor unit with a sensor, and an actuator driving the sensor unit. The sensor unit is configured to be on a lateral surface side or a rear surface side of the display panel when the sensor unit is in a retreat position and is configured so that the sensor faces the display surface when the sensor unit is in a detection position. The actuator is configured to drive the sensor unit for switching between the retreat position and the detection position by a movement of the sensor unit.

  • Patent number: 10212439
    Abstract: To achieve a reduction in circuit size without causing output leakage from a frame memory. A frame memory temporarily stores a plurality of input video signals. A plurality of encoders perform compression coding on the video signals read from the frame memory. A control unit controls the operations of writing into and reading from the frame memory. The video signals are written into the frame memory at respective frame frequencies. The video signals are read from the frame memory at a common output frame frequency. The output frame frequency is assumed to be the highest frame frequency or more of the video signals.

  • Patent number: 9864220
    Abstract: Provided is an optical sensor mounting structure for use in image display device devices that can accurately measure the amount of light from a backlight by measuring leak LED light, without having to modify an image display panel module itself. In an image display device using an image display panel module in which a wire drawing port for drawing a wire from a backlight is formed in a panel sheet metal, an optical sensor mounting structure includes an optical sensor configured to measure leak light from the backlight and a positioning member (intermediate connector) positioning the optical sensor. The optical sensor is disposed near the wire drawing port and measures the leak LED light from the wire drawing port.
