Title: Kohichi Oda - Innovator in Coordinate Sensor Technology

Introduction

Kohichi Oda is an inventor based in Osaka, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of electronic devices, particularly in the development of coordinate sensors. His innovative approach focuses on enhancing the functionality and efficiency of display devices.

Latest Patent Applications

Kohichi Oda's notable patent application includes a coordinate sensor that features at least two line sensors arranged in x-axis and y-axis directions. This sensor utilizes right-angle prisms to alter the light path of light passing through the image display region of a liquid crystal panel. The design allows for the line sensors to be positioned outside the image display region, with their light-receiving surfaces parallel to the image display surface. This configuration enables the coordinate sensor to detect coordinates indicated by objects, such as fingers, on the display. The result is a thin coordinate sensor that maintains a high aperture ratio and operational speed while being cost-effective.

Conclusion

Kohichi Oda's work in coordinate sensor technology exemplifies innovation in electronic devices. His contributions aim to improve user interaction with display technologies, showcasing the potential for advancements in this field.
