Regarding a display device (a display device including display elements driven by currents) equipped with a touch panel, degradation in display quality caused by touch is suppressed. A display device equipped with a touch panel is provided with a determination circuit () that determines whether or not a characteristic detection process is influenced by touch, based on a touch position and a monitoring target row which is a row to be subjected to the characteristic detection process. When the determination circuit () determines that the characteristic detection process is influenced by touch, a display control circuit () controls operation of a gate driver () and a source driver () such that a normal characteristic detection process is stopped until the determination circuit () determines that the characteristic detection process is not influenced by touch.

A coil drive device energizes an operation coil to close an electromagnetic contactor. A rectifier outputs, to a power supply line, an input voltage obtained by full-wave rectification of an AC voltage supplied from a main power source. A controller controls on and off of a switching element connected to a power supply line in series with the operation coil. The controller controls a duty ratio that is an on period ratio of the switching element in each switching period in accordance with a value of a parameter calculated from a detected value of the input voltage, in at least a partial period after start of energization of the operation coil in response to a close command for the electromagnetic contactor.

An automatic driving system includes a vehicle control calculator, a f recognizer, a passerby recognition calculator, and a notifier. The vehicle control calculator causes an vehicle to perform automatic traveling along a traveling route. The recognizer acquires information on a traveling environment ahead of the vehicle. The passerby recognition calculator recognizes a passerby ahead of the vehicle based on the information on the traveling environment. The notifier notifies the passerby of a recognition state that the passerby is recognized, when the passerby is recognized by the passerby recognition calculator. The passerby recognition calculator examines whether the recognized passerby is facing a direction of the vehicle based on information on the passerby, acquired by the recognizer, and specifies the passerby as a notification target passerby when recognizing the passerby facing the direction of the vehicle. The notifier notifies the recognition state to the notification target passerby.
