摘要:
A current is detected through a resistor which is electrically connected in series with an FET for driving an associated one of display elements; the resultant signal is inputted to an operational amplification circuit through a capacitor to be amplified therein; and an output signal from the operational amplification circuit is converted into digital data in an A/D conversion circuit to be applied to a drive control circuit. In the drive control circuit, the amount of electric charges which have been caused to flow through the associated one of the display elements is arithmetically determined, and a period of time when the FET is kept turned ON is controlled in dependence on the amount of electric charges thus arithmetically determined.

In a light emitting indicator drive circuit which supplies a current to display elements different in display areas, a current control circuit controls the supply current of a constant-current source which is caused by a p-channel MOS-FET which supplies a current to a display element. The current control circuit controls the off-operation of the FET. A signal processing circuit calculates the deterioration data from a deterioration detecting circuit and saved segment area data to decide a supply current value to display elements as a result of the arithmetic operation. With the above operation, a difference in luminance between the display elements and the degradation of luminance caused by the deterioration can be corrected.

The self-luminous display element may be, for example, an EL (electroluminescence) element or an organic EL element.

There is disclosed a portable GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver carried by a user. The receiver measures the distance traveled by the user and the speed. In the prior art technique, if satellites cannot be captured, no measurements are made. To find the distance and speed accurately, the measurements have to be performed continuously, thus increasing the electric power consumed by the receiver. The inventive receiver once finds the speed from the Doppler frequencies of the carrier waves. Then, a first distance-calculating means finds the distance from the speed. A walk-detecting means detects walking. A step number-calculating means accumulates the number of steps taken in steps. A stride-calculating means finds the stride from the accumulated step number and from the found distance. Then, a second distance-calculating means finds the distance from the stride and from the accumulated number of steps. A speed-calculating means finds the speed. The GPS receiver receives at regular intervals and updates the stride.

A GPS signal receiving section measures a Doppler frequency of a carrier wave to output a three-dimensional velocity vector to a CPU 100. The CPU 100 calculates a cumulative distance from a signal receiving interval and velocity data to compare between the cumulative distance stored in a RAM 104 and the distance point data previously stored in the RAM 104. Where the cumulative distance exceeds the distance point data, a lap time is calculated and displayed on a display section 106 based on the time count data sent from the time count circuit 105. Further, the CPU 100 calculates and displays on the display section 106 a time to arrive at the predetermined moving distance from the velocity data, the cumulative distance and the predetermined moving distance stored in the RAM 104.
