  • Patent number: 9848329
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14 and a touch panel 16, and a lock state of restricting performance of the predetermined processing based on a touch operation is set. A home screen including a function icon is displayed on the display 14. When the lock state is set, a lock screen is produced based on this home screen. Then, the lock screen is displayed if the power supply of the display 14 is turned on. A cancellation icon corresponding to the function icon is included in the lock screen. If a cancellation operation using the cancellation icon corresponding to a mail application is performed the lock state is canceled and the mail application is performed.

  • Patent number: 9686749
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14 provided with an LED (46) that functions as a backlight, a display driver (42), etc. The display driver has a CABC (Content Adaptive Brightness Control) function to adjust illuminance of the backlight, an image quality of an image to be displayed, etc. based on the image that is displayed on the display 14. If a residual battery quantity of a secondary battery (58) becomes equal to or less that a first threshold value, for example, the CABC function is rendered in an enabled state. Furthermore, if the residual battery quantity becomes equal to or less that a second threshold value, an image parameter such as brightness, contrast, a gamma value, chroma saturation, etc. is changed such that the image that is output to the display driver becomes darker.

  • Publication number: 20150312765
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14 and a touch panel 16, and a lock state of restricting performance of the predetermined processing based on a touch operation is set when the power supply of the display 14 is turned off. If the lock state is set at the time that an application is performed, a lock screen that makes a processing screen being displayed a background. At approximately the same time, a performance situation of the application being performed is stored, and the application is suspended. Then, a produced lock screen is displayed when the power supply of the display 14 is turned on. If the lock state is canceled by a cancellation operation, the application suspended is resumed.

  • Publication number: 20130293599
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a plurality of display modules, and an adjusting module operable to adjust chromaticity of the plurality of display modules. Each of the plurality of display modules comprises a display screen, and a backlight that emits light of a predetermined color and illuminates the display screen from the rear surface side. The display screens of the plurality of display modules are simultaneously viewable. The adjusting module performs, for each of plurality of display modules, an adjustment process for adjusting target chromaticity so that the target chromaticity to be displayed on the display module approaches a target value, the target chromaticity being chromaticity of the same color as the predetermined color.
