  • Publication number: 20230166651
    Abstract: In one aspect, an armrest lighting control device of a vehicle according to the present disclosure comprises a switch controller configured to produce a lighting color change effect or produce a fade-in/fade-out effect or an effect of turning off lighting by outputting a lighting-off signal from a lighting turning-off position of a switch lighting unit on the basis of a sensor signal from an acceleration sensor made by detecting a change in upward/downward armrest change angle of an armrest having the switch lighting unit directed toward a rear seat.

  • Patent number: 9490416
    Abstract: A piezoelectric drive circuit includes a first circuit which applies a voltage to the piezoelectric element and includes a plurality of transistors. A second circuit removes the residual current of the piezoelectric element and includes a plurality of transistors, and among the transistors included in the first circuit and the second circuit, transistors operated by an input signal are simultaneously turned ON/OFF by receiving the same input signal. Thus, when using a piezoelectric element as the air valve, it is possible to reduce leakage of air.
