Abstract: The present invention provides a touch panel with features enabling the external form to be downsized without degrading a detection accuracy of a touch input area and applying an electric voltage to a pair of the electrodes and detecting the output electric voltages inverting the polarity of the voltage. A touch panel of the present invention uses the principle of Apollonius' circle for the touch position detection. Said touch panel is fabricated so that two substrates having a transparent conductive film thereon are place in a manner that said each transparent conductive film is facing each other. A first substrate has one electrode and a second substrate has two pairs of point electrodes. Said two pairs of the point electrodes are arranged in a circumference region of said second substrate.

Abstract: A display device with a touch sensor and the like, capable of adjusting the external noise even in a state where the touch sensor is being placed on a display panel or a state where the display device with the touch sensor is being mounted into an electronic apparatus, includes a display panel, a capacitance type touch sensor provided by being superimposed on the display panel, and a distance variable mechanism which changes the distance between the touch sensor and the display panel.

Abstract: A housing member accommodates a liquid crystal display panel and a lighting unit. The housing member is provided with a penetrated space for receiving a light-source unit in the lighting unit therein. A pair of fastening members are attached to a pair of openings of the space, respectively, for supporting the light-source unit within the space such that each of the fastening members allows to insert the light-source unit into the space from either one of the pair of the openings.

Abstract: An interface unit is disclosed which can make asynchronous data communication between a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The interface unit includes a shift register for receiving start data designating a start of data input and input data from the transmitter unit. The start data is used as an interruption signal indicating data input to the receiver unit and is used as an inhibition signal for inhibiting clock application to the transmitter unit. The inhibition of clock application is removed by a control signal transferred from the receiver unit to the interface unit. Clock application to the transmitter unit is restarted in response to the control signal, and a next new data is transferred to the interface unit. Thus, the interface unit can easily and smoothly control asynchronous data communication between the transmitter unit and the receiver unit by means of simple circuits.
