摘要:
An EL device having an electrode arrangement including first electrodes and at least one row of second electrodes intersecting the first electrodes and energized by a combination of the first and second electrodes. The second electrodes are divided into a plurality of sub-electrode portions. The electrode arrangement is such that the first electrodes each comprise a plurality of segments that are commonly-connected and intersect different sub-electrode portions. Another electrode arrangement is such that the first electrodes are arranged in a belt form and intersect different sub-electrodes portions in a meander manner.The EL device can be applied to an electrophotographic printing system as an optical system for forming a latent image. EL elements are repeatedly energized with the same data to give a sufficient intensity of light on a light sensitive medium, and deenergized for a time in which the intensity is decreased to a low level.

Characteristic changes of the storage capacitance can be prevented, and yields and reliability can be improved.
摘要:
A coordinate detecting apparatus for determining the coordinate data of a point on a plane by indicating the point with a touch of a fingertip or other load to the point. The apparatus comprises a transparent resistive film forming the plane (touch panel) and a buffer circuit operating as a voltage follower circuit having substantially infinate input impedance. The buffer amplifier is operatively connected between each selected pair of facing ends of a substantially rectangular region of the resistive film, and equalizes the potentials at the ends. The change of the impedance between one of the ends and the ground is detected in accordance with the touch of the fingertip to the touch panel and is used as an original coordinate data. Further modifications concerning the avoidance of degradation in the detection quality due to fluctuations of the impedance provided by the touch of a fingertip, for example, and the methods to perform 2-dimensional coordinate detection are described.
