A display device includes a pair of insulating substrates facing each other, electrochromic elements, and an electrolyte layer. A plurality of electrodes constituting the electrochromic elements are disposed on an inner surface of one of the insulating substrates so as to be spaced from each other. One of the insulating substrates is formed of a flexible member whose outer surface is an input operation surface. A pair of counter electrodes of an input element are disposed between the pair of insulating substrates, the counter electrodes being spaced from the electrodes of the electrochromic elements when viewed in plan. An input operation is performed by bringing the counter electrodes close to each other or bringing the counter electrodes into contact with each other through pressing of the input operation surface.

First and second opposing ends are formed in a magnetic path forming member on which a power generation coil is wound. A rotating body has a permanent magnet, a first magnetization member and a second magnetization member. When an operating force does not act on an operating member, an end surface of the first magnetization member is opposed to the first opposing end via a gap and an end surface of the second magnetization member is opposed to the second opposing end via a gap. When the operating member is pressed, the rotating body rotates and when the force to the operating member is released, the operating member and the rotating body return. Since the rotating body and the magnetic path forming member do not come into contact with each other, the force required to operate the operating member is relatively weak and large electromotive force can be obtained.

A main object of the present invention is to provide a solid-state image sensor capable of efficiently collecting a light beam when the central position of the light receiving element and the central position of the micro lens do not coincide with each other in the plan view owing to a plural pixel sharing structure. To achieve the object, the present invention provides a solid-state image sensor comprising at least: a light receiving element for receiving a subject light to convert into a light signal; a micro lens for improving the light collecting rate to the light receiving element; and a signal readout circuit for reading a light signal generated from the light receiving element, such that the central position of the light receiving element and the central position of the micro lens do not coincide with each other in the plan view for having a plural pixel sharing structure with the single signal readout circuit shared by a plurality of the light receiving elements, wherein the micro lens having the maximum film thickness position different from the central position is provided such that the focus position of the micro lens with respect to a parallel ray is on the light receiving element.
摘要:
There is provided a track ball type data input apparatus which can input data showing the movement in the direction vertical to the image or the rotation around the axis vertical to the image and visually and easily assures the operation flexibility in the threedimensional inputs. In this apparatus, the first encoder and the second encoder are driven by rotating the spherical manipulator called a track ball and the pulse outputs obtained from the encoders cause an object displayed in the image to move or rotate. When the attitude sensor detects inclination of the body case, the coordinate axes are rotated depending on the direction and angle of inclination and are then converted. Thereby the object can be moved or rotated with reference to the converted coordinate axes. Moreover, the moving operation control mode and rotating operation control mode can be switched by manipulating the mode switching button.

The vibration substrate 31 is directly or indirectly fixed to the sound-producing vibration body. Vibration of the exciting member 32A is transmitted to the sound-producing vibration body through the vibration substrate 31 so that the sound-producing vibration body produces sound.
摘要:
An input device and detection device each have separate electrodes with one electrode for detecting input in a vertical direction and a plurality of electrodes for detecting input in a horizontal direction. An elastic body has a conductive portion opposite to the electrodes with a thin portion opposite to the vertical-detection electrode. A storage depressed portion is formed on the thin portion. A space between the elastic body and the electrodes changes by input. A slider is connected to the elastic body and is movable only in a horizontal direction, a hard pressing body stored in the storage depressed portion of the elastic body, and a key top opposite to the pressing body and vertically movable. When the slider is moved horizontally, the elastic body deforms and the space between the conductive portion of the elastic body and the horizontal-detection electrodes changes, and when the key top is pressed, the thin portion of the elastic body deforms through the pressing body and the space between the thin portion and the vertical-detection electrode changes.
摘要:
An input device for a personal computer or the like has an elastic member, a slider horizontally movable on the elastic member, and a key top operatively connected to the elastic member through the slider. The elastic member 5 has a coupling portion provided with a flange which vertically movably fits in a fit hole formed in the slider. A horizontal movement of the key top causes the wall of the fit hole of the slider to press the flange, which in turn causes deformation of the flange and of the movable electrode, with the result that the size of the gap and, hence, capacitive value between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode are changed, whereby the direction of movement of the key top is detected with a high degree of accuracy.
