    Abstract: A solar panel includes a plurality of solar cells. Each of the solar cells includes a plurality of power generation regions, and connection regions that connect the plurality of power generation regions and have a lower power generation capacity than the plurality of power generation regions. A plurality of power generation functional units are formed in which the connection regions are disposed adjacent to each other.

    Abstract: An electronic watch includes a pointer; a stepping motor including a coil and configured to drive the pointer; a driving circuit configured to drive the stepping motor; an A/D converter configured to detect electromotive force generated in the coil due to an impact; and a CPU configured to control driving of the driving circuit. The CPU determines a direction in which the pointer is likely to be shifted, based on the electromotive force detected by the A/D converter, determines whether the pointer is shifted due to the impact, and upon determining that the pointer is shifted, corrects a position of the pointer in accordance with the direction in which the pointer is likely to be shifted.

    Abstract: A stepping motor includes: a rotor; and a stator including an opening accommodating the rotor, a first side yoke extending from the opening in a first direction, a second side yoke extending from the opening in a second direction that is a direction opposite to the first direction, and one or a plurality of coils magnetically coupled to the first side yoke or the second side yoke. Assuming a direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction is defined as a third direction, a first recess is formed in an outer circumference of the stator at a position rotated from the third direction toward the second direction by a prescribed first angle and a second recess that determines a stable resting position of the rotor is formed at a position rotated from the second direction toward the third direction by a prescribed second angle.

    Abstract: A solar panel, above which a pointer mounted on a pointer shaft inserted in a through hole in a center portion of the solar panel moves, includes a plurality of solar cells arranged in a substantially circular shape, and these solar cells have been divisionally formed into a substantially spiral shape so that the pointer is positioned over two of the plurality of solar cells. Accordingly, the pointer can always be positioned over two of the plurality of solar cells, and therefore a decrease of light-receiving area due to the pointer can be distributed between the two solar cells. As a result, a decrease in the output current of the plurality of solar cells over which the pointer is positioned can be suppressed, and the output current of the entire plurality of solar cells can be improved.
