  • Publication number: 20240172359
    Abstract: Provided is a roughened copper foil capable of achieving both excellent transmission characteristics and high peel strength when used for a copper-clad laminate or a printed wiring board. This roughened copper foil includes a roughened surface on at least one side. The roughened surface has a roughness slope tan ? of 0.58 or less as calculated based on a mean height Rc (?m) and a mean width RSm (?m) of profile elements by formula Rc/(0.5×RSm), and a small projected area Rc×RSm of 0.45 ?m2 or more and 2.00 ?m2 or less that is a product of the mean height Rc (?m) and the mean width RSm (?m) of the profile elements. Rc and RSm are values measured in accordance with JIS B0601-2013 under a condition of not performing a cutoff by a cutoff value ?s and a cutoff value ?c.

  • Patent number: 10915186
    Abstract: An operation target device projects a display video onto a projection surface, which is captured by a camera. An operation detectable region specifying unit specifies respective regions where an operation is detectable and is undetectable in a range in which the display video is projected, based on image data captured by the camera. Finger and pen contact position detection units detect the operation to the operation object based on the image data. The operation target device displays the display video so that the region where the operation to the operation object is detectable, which is specified by the operation detectable region specifying unit, is distinguished from the region where the operation to the operation object is undetectable. The operation target device changes a display position of the operation object so the operation object is displayed within a range of the region where the operation to the operation object is detectable.

  • Publication number: 20200150821
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to correct false recognition and non-detection of a user operation due to an influence of external light or the like. An operation target device 150 projects a display video onto a projection surface. A camera 102 captures the projection surface. An operation detectable region specifying unit 107 specifies respective regions where an operation to an operation object is detectable and is undetectable in a range in which the display video is projected, based on image data captured by the camera 102. A finger contact position detection unit 105 and a pen contact position detection unit 106 detect the operation to the operation object based on the image data captured by the camera 102.
