A touch panel device and a method for detecting a contact position are provided. The touch panel device includes a touch panel including a first touch pattern, the first touch pattern having a plurality of first touch pads connected in series; and a touch sensor for applying a clock signal to one terminal of the first touch pattern, receiving a first delayed clock signal from the other terminal of the first touch pattern, and generating contact position data corresponding to a contact position of an object using a difference in delay time between the clock signal and the first delayed clock signal. Thus, since the plurality of touch pads are connected in series, the contact position of the entire touch panel can be sensed with only one touch sensor, and the touch pad has a greater area than the connection line for a distinguished difference in resistance between the touch pad and the connection line, such that the contact position can be accurately detected.

A portable device with a proximity sensor is provided. The portable device with a proximity sensor of the present invention includes a shielding plate for shielding impedance applied in a direction opposite to the direction that the proximity sensor detects the proximity such that the proximity sensor is not affected by a change in the surrounding environment and can detect the proximity at the same sensitivity at all times. Moreover, when the portable device is placed upside down on a conductive surface that causes low impedance, a proximity sensor placed adjacent to the conductive surface is deactivated to prevent malfunction.

An optical pointing device and a control method thereof are provided. The optical pointing device includes: an illumination unit for illuminating light on a working surface, and generating light in a predetermined code in response to a code signal; a control unit for detecting an image on the working surface to calculate a movement value, outputting movement information in response to an input signal inputted from the outside and the calculated movement value, intermittently outputting a code generation signal, and turning off the illumination unit when the optical pointing device is separated from the working surface in response to a determination signal; and a determination unit for outputting the code signal in response to the code generation signal, detecting light in the predetermined code to thus determine whether or not the optical pointing device is separated from the working surface, and outputting the determination signal depending on the determination result. Therefore, a glaring phenomenon generated when the optical pointing device is turned upside down can be prevented, and unnecessary power consumption can also be prevented.
