  • Publication number: 20240138228
    Abstract: Regarding a display device (a display device including display elements driven by currents) equipped with a touch panel, degradation in display quality caused by touch is suppressed. A display device equipped with a touch panel is provided with a determination circuit (303) that determines whether or not a characteristic detection process is influenced by touch, based on a touch position and a monitoring target row which is a row to be subjected to the characteristic detection process. When the determination circuit (303) determines that the characteristic detection process is influenced by touch, a display control circuit (301) controls operation of a gate driver (12) and a source driver (20) such that a normal characteristic detection process is stopped until the determination circuit (303) determines that the characteristic detection process is not influenced by touch.

  • Publication number: 20160351740
    Abstract: A solar cell module includes a light-transmitting substrate and solar cell element groups. Each solar cell element group includes solar cell elements aligned in a first direction and each having rectangular first and second surfaces, and a wiring material electrically connecting a first solar cell element and a second solar cell element adjacent to each other in the first direction. The solar cell element groups are aligned in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. In each solar cell element, first and second side parts each located along the second direction have a length in the second direction larger than the length in the first direction of third and fourth side parts each located along the first direction. The light-transmitting substrate covers the solar cell element groups from the first surface side and has a short side along the first direction and a long side along the second direction.
