Abstract

A novel information processing device that is highly convenient or reliable is provided. The inventor has thought of a structure including an input portion configured to supply the positional information of a pointer, an arithmetic device configured to determine a first region based on the positional information of a pointer and generate the image information so that the luminance of an image displayed in the first region is increased, and a display portion for displaying the image information.

Claims (60)

1. An information processing device comprising an arithmetic device and an input/output device,

wherein the input/output device includes a display portion and an input portion,

wherein the input portion is configured to sense a position of a pointer that approaches a region overlapping with the display portion,

wherein the input portion is configured to determine positional information based on the position of the pointer,

wherein the input portion is configured to supply the positional information to the arithmetic device,

wherein the arithmetic device is configured to determine a first region of the display portion based on the positional information,

wherein the arithmetic device is configured to generate image information so that a luminance of the first region is higher than a luminance of another region of the display portion,

wherein the display portion comprises a pixel including a first display element and a second display element,

wherein the second display element provided in the first region is configured to receive the image information generated by the arithmetic device so that the luminance of the first region is higher than that of the another region, and

wherein the information processing device is configured to strengthen light emitted by the second display element provided in the first region to prevent a drop in the luminance of the first region due to a shadow projected on the first region of the display portion by the pointer or a user of the pointer.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first display element is a reflective liquid crystal display element, and

wherein the second display element is a light-emitting display element.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 ,

the pixel comprising:

a first pixel circuit electrically connected to the first display element; and

a second pixel circuit electrically connected to the second display element.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 ,

the display panel comprising:

a first scan line electrically connected to a group of pixels arranged in a row direction; and

a second scan line electrically connected to the group of pixels arranged in the row direction,

wherein the first scan line is electrically connected to the first pixel circuit, and

wherein the second scan line is electrically connected to the second pixel circuit.

5. The information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first display element includes a reflective film configured to reflect incident light and configured to adjust an intensity of reflected light, and

wherein the second display element includes a light-emitting diode.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the reflective film has an opening, and

wherein the second display element is configured to emit light to the opening and a region overlapping with the opening.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the input/output device further includes a sensor portion.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the input portion includes at least one of a keyboard, a hardware button, a pointing device, a touch sensor, an illuminance sensor, an imaging device, an audio input device, a viewpoint input device, and a pose detection device.

9. An information processing device comprising an arithmetic device and an input/output device,

wherein the input/output device includes a display portion, an input portion, and a sensor portion,

wherein the input portion is configured to generate positional information based on a position of a pointer that approaches a region overlapping with the display portion,

wherein the input portion is configured to supply the positional information to the arithmetic device,

wherein the arithmetic device is configured to determine a first region of the display portion based on the positional information,

wherein the sensor portion comprises an illuminance sensor configured to generate information based on ambient brightness,

wherein the sensor portion is configured to supply the information based on the ambient brightness to the arithmetic device,

wherein the arithmetic device is configured to generate image information so that a luminance of the first region is higher than a luminance of another region of the display portion,

wherein the display portion comprises a pixel including a first display element and a second display element, and

wherein the information processing device is configured to strengthen light emitted by at least one of the first display element and the second display element provided in the first region to prevent a drop in the luminance of the first region due to a shadow projected on the first region of the display portion by the pointer or a user of the pointer.

10. The information processing device according to claim 9 ,

wherein when the arithmetic device determines that the information based on the ambient brightness is dark, the light emitted by the second display element is strengthened.

11. An information processing device comprising an arithmetic device and an input/output device,

wherein the input/output device includes a display portion, an input portion, and a sensor portion,

wherein the input portion is configured to generate positional information based on a position of a pointer that approaches a region overlapping with the display portion,

wherein the input portion is configured to supply the positional information to the arithmetic device,

wherein the arithmetic device is configured to determine a first region of the display portion based on the positional information,

wherein the sensor portion comprises an illuminance sensor configured to generate information based on ambient brightness,

wherein the sensor portion is configured to supply the information based on the ambient brightness to the arithmetic device,

wherein the arithmetic device is configured to generate image information so that a luminance of the first region is higher than a luminance of another region of the display portion,

wherein the display portion has a pixel including a reflective display element and a light-emitting display element, and

wherein the information processing device is configured to strengthen light emitted by at least one of the reflective display element and the light-emitting display element provided in the first region to prevent a drop in the luminance of the first region due to a shadow projected on the first region of the display portion by the pointer or a user of the pointer.

12. The information processing device according to claim 11 ,

wherein the reflective display element is a reflective liquid crystal display element, and

wherein the light-emitting display element is an organic electroluminescence element.

13. The information processing device according to claim 11 ,

wherein when the arithmetic device determines that the information based on the ambient brightness is dark, the light emitted by the light-emitting display element is strengthened.
