20110122002 | PARALLEL-SERIAL CONVERTER CIRCUIT - In a parallel-serial converter circuit of a multistage configuration, there is formed a clock propagation path so that when multistage connected data converters are operated according to the timing of a clock signal, a reference clock signal or a clock signal in which the reference clock signal has been frequency-converted, is given sequentially to the data converter of the first stage up to the data converter of the final stage.

The touch panel comprises: a first optical unit, comprising a first light emitting element and a first light receiving element, arranged at a first position of the touch panel; a first optical element arranged along a first edge of the touch panel for reflecting light; a second and a third optical element arranged along a second and a third edge of the touch panel, respectively, for retro-reflecting the light, the second edge being adjacent to both the third edge and the first edge; and a processing unit for recognizing the at least one gesture according to changes to distance and slope of possible touch points. | 2011-05-26 |
20110122100 | ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE DISPLAY - An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes: a first substrate; an OLED disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate with the OLED interposed therebetween; and a sealant disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate to adhere and seal the first substrate and to form a predetermined gap to enclose the OLED, wherein a contact force between the sealant and the first substrate is 0.6 to 0.75 N/mm. | 2011-05-26 |
20110122101 | SCANNING IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - A scanning image display apparatus includes a light source section that emits a laser beam, a scan mirror that scans the laser beam two-dimensionally in a first direction and a second direction which intersects the first direction, and a control section that drives the scan mirror. Herein, the control section drives the scan mirror such that a scan frequency in the first direction becomes higher than a scan frequency in the second direction, and changes the scan frequency in the first direction in synchronization with a period of the scan frequency in the second direction to change a scan amplitude in the first direction. | 2011-05-26 |
