Abstract: A mold with plate glass placed therein is clamped, and a resin for forming a resin molding is injected into a cavity space such that the resin is filled in the cavity space. After filling, the resin filled in the cavity space is pressurized. At that time, the pressure applied to the plate glass is controlled so as to be within a certain range. Thus, it is possible not only to avoid a crack or misregistration in the plate glass but also to prevent a sink from being formed on a frame as the resin molding, thereby to produce an integrally molded glass/resin article having a quality appearance.

Abstract: A display panel of an organic EL display device includes a photo-detection section that detects reflected light when a screen is touched by a finger or the like. The photo-detection section includes a photodiode that receives the reflected light, and an output amplifier that outputs an output voltage corresponding to the amount of the received light. If an a-Si diode is used for such a photodiode, a sufficiently large signal difference between the bright state and the dark state can be achieved. Also, if a p-Si amplifier is used for the output amplifier, the output voltage becomes the saturation voltage at the time of read-out. This allows the p-Si amplifier to directly output the large difference detected by the a-Si diode as a large difference in the output voltage.
