  • Patent number: 10222920
    Abstract: Provided is a touch panel device configured to execute touch panel drive processing while appropriately preventing discoloration of a semi in-cell touch panel. A touch panel-equipped display device 1000 includes a touch panel TP and a touch panel controller 1. The touch panel TP is configured as a semi in-cell touch panel, and includes a color filter layer, a sense electrode layer provided with sense electrodes Rx11 Rx38, and a drive electrode layer provided with drive electrodes Tx11 to Tx38. The sense electrode layer and the drive electrode layer oppose each other with the color filter layer interposed therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20180162278
    Abstract: A door mirror control device supplies drive voltages to respective lock detection sections in left and right door mirrors. If motors are driven in accordance with the drive voltages, the door mirrors are operated from one of a retracted position or a deployed position toward the other of the retracted position or the deployed position, and the motors stop after the door mirrors reach either the retracted position or the deployed position. Operating time determination sections determine operating times of the door mirrors from changes in values of operating currents. Voltage setting sections change settings for the drive voltages supplied to lock detection circuits of the door mirrors based on the operating times of the left and right door mirrors such that the operating times of the left and right door mirrors match each other.
