  • Publication number: 20230111513
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display; a display driver that drives the display such that the display displays in accordance with display data; and a host controller that transfers update display data of one screen to the display driver. The display driver includes a light-emission controller that causes a self-luminous elements to emit light, and a memory that stores the update display data of the one screen. The display driver reads the update display data on the memory after an elapse of a predetermined period of time from a drive end time at which the display controller finishes driving in accordance with the update display data and drives the screen by using the read update display data. The display driver drives the self-luminous elements once or more at a timing when the update display data from the host controller to the display driver is not updated.

  • Patent number: 11358027
    Abstract: A non-limiting example training instrument comprises a hollow main body formed of an aluminum alloy. The main body is constituted by two gripping portions opposite to each other with a space therebetween and a coupling portion coupling the two gripping portions. A load sensor is arranged in the coupling portion inside the main body. The load sensor is a load cell, a strain gauge affixed to an interior of the main body, and a part of the main body to which the strain gauge is affixed functions as a strain body. Therefore, if a user applies a force so as to bring the two gripping portions close to each other or a force so as to move the two gripping portions away from each other, a load thereof is detected by the load sensor.

  • Patent number: 11308884
    Abstract: A display device includes: a display unit; a display driver configured to drive the display unit; and a display-data generator configured to transfer a screenful of update display data to the display driver. The display driver includes a light-emission controller configured to control self-luminous elements to emit light, and a memory storing a screenful of the update display data. After a lapse of a predetermined time period from a driving stop time, the display driver reads the update display data stored in the memory and then uses the update display data to drive a screen, the driving stop time being a time when the display unit is stopped from driving based on the update display data. The display driver causes the self-luminous elements of the display unit to emit light, even during a display update or no display update performed on the display driver by the display-data generator.
