Abstract:
A reproduction apparatus (1) and method and a recording apparatus and method by which two different kinds of data can be reproduced and recorded efficiently are disclosed. When main data are intermittently read in from a recording medium (90), periods within which reading in of the main data is not performed appear inevitably, and the periods are made use of to read in sub data from the recording medium (90), thereby allowing synchronized reproduction of the main data and the sub data which relate to the main data. On the other hand, when main data are intermittently written onto a recording medium (90), periods within which writing of the main data is not performed appear inevitably, and the periods are made use of to write sub data onto the recording medium (90), thereby allowing parallel recording of the main data and the sub data.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device capable of enhancing the image quality of a captured image.SOLUTION: The imaging device comprises: a signal generation unit that generates a pulse signal which transitions between a first voltage and a second voltage with low noise; a voltage holding unit that holds a voltage difference between the pulse signal and a voltage of an output node; a voltage setting unit that sets the voltage of the output node to a third voltage in response to transition of the pulse signal to generate a pixel selection signal, and outputs it from the output node; and an imaging unit that is driven by the pixel selection signal.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image display device capable of satisfying both of high resolution and high gradation and capable of reducing texture-like pattern noise.SOLUTION: An image display device includes a display 110 for displaying an image by picture elements arrayed in a two-dimentional matrix and a gradation conversion unit 120 for performing gradation conversion by using a dispersion dither matrix. The gradation conversion unit 120 randomly shifts the dither matrix in horizontal and vertical directions in each region of the picture elements 112 corresponding to the dither matrix and applies it, and performs the gradation conversion of the image shown in the display 110.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information input/output device which can detect both of a finger and a palm as proximity objects. SOLUTION: The information input/output device applies a comparison process respectively using a threshold Sf for detecting an object in the vicinity of an input screen and a threshold Sh lower than the threshold Sf to shot image data D0 of a proximity object in an image processing part. When the proximity object is a finger or stylus, dot information related to positional coordinates or the like is obtained (step S15) after a binarization process (step S12) using the threshold Sf. By performing a comparison process (calculation of a ratio, step S18) using the threshold Sh lower than the threshold Sf, whether the proximity object is a palm is determined (step S19), and palm information related to presence of proximity of the palm is obtained (step S20).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a capacitance-type touch panel for reducing disturbance noise and touch detection time, and having a simple configuration.SOLUTION: The capacitance-type touch panel includes: a plurality of drive electrodes each having a strip shape; a drive control circuit performing control such that a drive signal (Vcom) for touch detection is selectively applied to the drive electrodes; a plurality of touch detection electrodes arranged to intersect with the drive electrodes in such a manner that each outputs a detection signal(Vdet) in synchronization with the drive signal; and a detection circuit detecting an external proximity object based on the detection signal. The drive control circuit controls application of the drive signal in such a manner that the detection signal is a polarity-alternating signal including a positive-negative asymmetrical signal component which is due to presence of the external proximity object.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image input device acquiring information on the position or the like of an object irrespective of usage conditions. SOLUTION: In the image input device 1, a display drive circuit 12 performs time division driving so that an ON period of an IR light source 151B may be shorter than an OFF period. A light reception drive circuit 13 drives a main sensor 111A and a sub sensor 111B so that reading may be performed after the elapse of light reception periods that are equal to each other in the ON period and the OFF period. An image processing unit 14 generates a difference image MC of an image MA in the ON period and an image MB in the OFF period, performs arithmetic processing of the center of gravity G and area S of an object on the basis of the difference image MC, and determines the position, or the like of the object. Each light reception time in the ON period and the OFF period is reduced in comparison with when the ON period and the OFF period are each subjected to time division driving in an equal time interval.
