Abstract: The present invention reduces the possibility that a connector for charging cannot be appropriately inserted into a power feeding port of an electric automobile. The information processing device identifies a position of a power feeding port provided in an electric automobile and controls an arm portion, on the basis of a result of identification, so as to move a connector to a position facing the power feeding port. The information processing device controls the arm portion so as to insert the connector into the power feeding port. At this time, the information processing device controls the arm portion, on the basis of a value detected by a force sensor, so that a force along a direction other than an insertion direction in which the connector is inserted and/or a torque have/has a magnitude not greater than a threshold.

Abstract: An optical member having high mechanical strength and high optical characteristics such as transmittance, a liquid crystal panel using the optical member, and manufacturing methods therefor. An optical member includes a substrate that has a material transparent to light of wavelengths in a band to be used, a wire grid part in which a plurality of protruding sections are disposed in a line and space pattern on the substrate, a cover that includes a dielectric transparent to light in the band to be used, and covers the wire grid part, and a void part that is formed between the adjacent protruding sections of the wire grid part and protrudes to the cover side beyond a straight line connecting tops of the adjacent protruding sections.

Abstract: An optical element which is capable of improving the degree of transmission of electromagnetic waves, and which does not require positioning; a light emitting element; an optical device which uses this light emitting element; and a method for producing this optical element.

Abstract: There is a conventional input device wherein a blind operation is easy because a touch panel type operation unit and a display unit are separately arranged at locations distant from each other, but such a conventional input device requires a camera for photographing a user's hand on the operation unit, and image processing for converting the photographed image of the hand and combining the image on the display unit, and thus, simplification of the processing method has been desired. Further, reducing the number of components used for such a device has been desired.

Abstract: A touch display including a liquid crystal display having a surface displaying images and a capacitive touch-sensitive panel superposed on a surface of the liquid crystal display and enabling an input operation in reaction to the displayed image; wherein being arranged on the liquid crystal display in order from the surface of the liquid crystal display toward an outer surface of the liquid crystal display, a second quarter-wave plate converting a light passing through into a circular polarization by shifting phase, the capacitive touch-sensitive panel, a first quarter-wave plate having a same orientation to the second quarter-wave plate, a polarizer converting the light passing through into a linear polarization, a decorated sheet protecting an upper surface of the capacitive touch-sensitive panel, and an antireflection layer preventing a surface-reflection of outside light, in order to obtain the antireflection effect while keeping costs low.

Abstract: Provided is a touch panel including an analog switch area and a fixed switch area. An input device of the present invention includes: a touch panel; a case including an opening capable of housing the touch panel; a transparent resin film bonded to the top surface of the case; and an adhesive applied to the back surface of the transparent resin film in the opening. It is possible to make the case and the touch panel flush with each other, and accordingly to offer a seamless supporting structure by covering the top surfaces of the case and the touch panel with the transparent resin film. In addition, since the touch panel includes the analog switch area and the fixed switch area, it is possible to offer the input device which includes all the operation switches in the touch panel.
