Abstract: A vibration device that includes a support member, an actuator, and a sensor that detects a force applied to a vibrated member and displacement of the vibrated member in a left-right direction. The support member includes a fixing portion, a vibration portion, and an elastically deformable portion connecting the fixing portion and the vibration portion. The actuator is attached to the fixing portion and the vibration portion. The sensor is attached to the elastically deformable portion. The elastically deformable portion has a first elastic modulus in the left-right direction, a second elastic modulus in a front-rear direction, and a third elastic modulus in an up-down direction. The first elastic modulus is smaller than the second elastic modulus. The third elastic modulus is smaller than the second elastic modulus.

Abstract: An outline compensation apparatus for a television receiver includes a circuit for detecting outlines of regions of a picture, expressed in a video signal, and a velocity modulation circuit for effecting outline enhancement in response to an output signal produced from the outline detection circuit. The amplitude of that output signal is controlled in accordance with both a contrast adjustment signal and a sharpness adjustment signal that are used to process the video signal in order to modify the degrees of contrast and sharpness of definition of the picture, respectively. The operation of the outline compensation apparatus is thereby made to effectively complement any increase or decrease of display contrast and sharpness that results from the application of the contrast adjustment signal and sharpness adjustment signal, enabling the user to more easily adjust the television receiver to obtain a clear and natural-looking displayed picture.
