In a control part of a printer, a main area information holding part holds information prescribing a plurality of main areas which are obtained by dividing at least a portion in a facing surface of a head into a plurality of areas in a predetermined direction. A sub-area information holding part holds information prescribing a plurality of sub-areas which are obtained by dividing the main area into a plurality of areas in the predetermined direction. The initial setting part designates the settings relating to corrections in units of the main areas. In a case where correction amounts of darkness based on the initial setting are different between a first main area and a second main area which adjoin each other among the plurality of main areas, the re-setting part maintains or redesignates the settings relating to corrections designated with respect to the first main area in units of the sub-areas.

Recording apparatus and program for recording apparatus

A sound generator includes at least one piezoelectric vibrator including a piezoelectric element, a vibration unit in one of a non-contact state not contacting the at least one piezoelectric vibrator and a contact state contacting the at least one piezoelectric vibrator. While in the contact state, the at least one piezoelectric vibrator generates vibration in response to a signal, and causes a contact surface contacted by the vibration unit to vibrate and generate a sound to be emitted from the contact surface. The sound generator can detect driving allowed and driving denied states, and control application of a sound signal in accordance with the two states to the piezoelectric element.

Sound generator and sound generation system

A sound generator includes a piezoelectric vibrator () including a piezoelectric element (), an anchor applying a load to the piezoelectric vibrator (), and a control unit () configured to control an input voltage based on a frequency characteristic, the input voltage being applied to the piezoelectric element () as a sound signal. While the load from the anchor is being applied to the piezoelectric vibrator (), the piezoelectric vibrator () deforms in accordance with the input voltage applied to the piezoelectric element () from the control unit (), and deformation of the piezoelectric vibrator () vibrates a contact surface () contacted by the sound generator, causing sound to be emitted from the contact surface ().

Desired character information can be effectively obtained. The display apparatus (display terminal) includes a display part, a plurality of operation portions, to which different characters are assigned and which are provided adjacent to one another, an operation detection part which detects operation states of the plurality of operation portions, and a control part which displays character information about a character assigned to an operation portion, to which an operation is detected by the operation detection part, wherein if it is determined that a first operation portion among the plurality of operation portions is operated based on detection of an operation state by the operation detection part, the control part displays character information about a character assigned to the first operation portion on the display part, and further specifies a second operation portion associated with the first operation portion based on the operation state to the first operation portion, and displays character information about a character assigned to the second operation portion on the display part.
