A display device includes: a TFT substrate including a thin film transistor; a light-emitting element including a first electrode and a second electrode overlapping each other in a plan view, and a light-emitting layer placed between the first electrode and the second electrode; a third electrode capable of forming an electrical field between the second electrode and the third electrode; an optical adjustment element overlapping the light-emitting layer in a plan view and having an optical characteristic that changes in accordance with a potential difference between the second electrode and the third electrode; and light scattering bodies included in at least one of the TFT substrate, the light-emitting element, and the optical adjustment element.

Display device

A book digitization apparatus includes an emitter that applies an energy ray to a book, a detector that detects an energy ray radiated from the book in response to a material existing in the book, and a three-dimensional data generator that generates data of a plurality of space points in accordance with the detected ray. The data of the space points associates position information of a position in a three-dimensional space within the book with a physical property value used to identify a layout pattern of the material at the position in a direction of thickness of the book.

Book digitization apparatus and book digitization method

A book digitization apparatus includes: a table capable of storing a type of paper and a physical property of an energy ray, which the paper is able to absorb, in association with each other; an acquisition unit that acquires, from the table, a physical property of an energy ray, which corresponds to a type of paper that is input; and an image capturing unit that acquires three-dimensional data of a book by capturing an image of the book with an energy ray having the acquired physical property.
