  • Publication number: 20230229257
    Abstract: A display device with a touch panel is provided with a transmission touch electrode, a reception touch electrode, a transmission reference electrode formed from the same material as the transmission touch electrode, a reception reference electrode formed from the same material as the reception touch electrode, a reference electrode that faces the transmission reference electrode and to which a predetermined potential is applied, and a touch control circuit that detects a touch by a pointer on the basis of a comparison between a touch detection signal from the reception touch electrode and a detection threshold value. The reception reference electrode outputs a reference signal based on a capacitance formed between the reception reference electrode and the transmission reference electrode, and the touch control circuit changes the detection threshold value in accordance with a change in the reference signal.

  • Patent number: 7498663
    Abstract: In a semiconductor integrated circuit (100) having a shielding film (1) formed by a material different from at least either of a semiconductor substrate (4) and an interlayer insulating film (7) in thermal expansion coefficient, the shielding film (1) has shielding portions (9) and openings (12), and at least either of a plurality of independent openings (12a) whose circumferences are surrounded by the shielding portions (9) and a plurality of independent shielding portions (11) whose circumferences are surrounded by the openings (12) is present and scattered on the entire surface of a chip. Or, a plurality of openings (12) are present on an optional straight line parallel with the surface (4a) of the semiconductor substrate (4) passing through a portion for shielding circuit devices (21) and circuit wirings (16) in the shielding portions (9).
