As shown in FIG. 2, the liquid crystal display device 10 in which the potential of the common electrode is adjusted by the adjusting device includes a glass substrate 11, a liquid crystal panel 12 provided in the center of the glass substrate 11, and an edge portion of the glass substrate 11. The driving IC chip 13 and the FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) 14 are bonded to each other. The FPC 14 is an electronic circuit formed on a transparent or semi-transparent flexible substrate, and the opaque electrode portion has a transparent electrode portion of the glass substrate 11 with an anisotropic conductive film such as an ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) tape interposed therebetween. It is crimped to.

液晶パネル12は、例えば図3に示すように上側および下側ガラス基板11a,11b間に配向膜を介して液晶15が充填され、上側ガラス基板11aの下面にカラーフィルタ16を介在して複数の透明Y電極17が縦方向に設けられ、下側ガラス基板11bの上面に複数のX電極18が横方向に設けられ、液晶15がマトリックス状に複数の画素に分割されている。上側および下側ガラス基板11a,11bの上下面には偏光フィルタ19a,19bが設けられている。X電極18には、図4に示すように各画素45に対応して反射部46と透過部47とが設けられており、反射部46はアルミ電極で構成されている。各Y電極および各X電極17,18は、駆動ICチップ13に接続され、駆動ICチップ13はFPC14に接続されている。駆動ICチップ13の作動により液晶パネル12のX電極は順次共通電極に接続され、Y電極17には1フレーム毎に正負の制御電圧が順次印加され、共通電極に接続されたX電極18と、電圧が印加されたY電極17とが交差する画素が透光状態となる。これにより、液晶パネル12が前面、即ち上側ガラス基板11a側から光源により照射されると、照射光は、透光状態の画素ではX電極の反射部で反射されて液晶パネル12の前面から射出される。    For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the liquid crystal panel 12 is filled with liquid crystal 15 via an alignment film between the upper and lower glass substrates 11a and 11b, and a plurality of color filters 16 are interposed on the lower surface of the upper glass substrate 11a.

As shown in FIG. 4, the X electrode 18 is provided with a reflective portion 46 and a transmissive portion 47 corresponding to each pixel 45, and the reflective portion 46 is made of an aluminum electrode. Each Y electrode and each X electrode 17, 18 are connected to the drive IC chip 13, and the drive IC chip 13 is connected to the FPC 14. By the operation of the driving IC chip 13, the X electrodes of the liquid crystal panel 12 are sequentially connected to the common electrode, the positive and negative control voltages are sequentially applied to the Y electrode 17 for each frame, the X electrode 18 connected to the common electrode, A pixel intersecting with the Y electrode 17 to which a voltage is applied enters a light-transmitting state. Thereby, when the liquid crystal panel 12 is irradiated by the light source from the front surface, that is, the upper glass substrate 11a side, the irradiated light is reflected by the reflection portion of the X electrode and emitted from the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 in the translucent pixel. The

なお、液晶パネルには、ノーマルブラックとノーマルホワイトの2種類あり、ノーマルホワイトの液晶パネルでは、共通電極に接続されたX電極と、電圧が印加されたY電極とが交差する画素が不透光状態となる。また、液晶パネル12が背面、即ち下側ガラス基板11b側からバックライトにより照射されると、照射光は、透光状態の画素ではX電極の透過部を通過して液晶パネル12の前面から射出する。    There are two types of liquid crystal panels, normal black and normal white. In a normal white liquid crystal panel, pixels where the X electrode connected to the common electrode and the Y electrode to which the voltage is applied cross are opaque. It becomes a state. Further, when the liquid crystal panel 12 is illuminated by the backlight from the back surface, that is, the lower glass substrate 11b side, the irradiated light passes through the transmission part of the X electrode and is emitted from the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 in the translucent pixel. To do.

図1に示すように、液晶表示装置用調整装置20は、バックライトを取付ける前の状態の液晶表示装置10の液晶パネル12の前面に照射光を照射する光源装置21と、受光面22aが液晶パネル12の前面と対向し、液晶パネル12からの反射光が入射する検出装置としてのフォトセンサ22と、フォトセンサ22により検出された反射光量に基づいてフリッカが最小となるように液晶表示装置10の共通電極の電位を調整する電位調整部23を備えた本体部29が設けられている。光源装置21は、液晶表示装置10の液晶パネル12の前面に射光面34aから照射光を照射する光源34を含む。光源34としては、フォトセンサ22の感度がよい波長の光を発する白色LEDを用いるのが好ましい。    As shown in FIG. 1, the adjustment device 20 for a liquid crystal display device includes a light source device 21 for irradiating the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 of the liquid crystal display device 10 in a state before mounting a backlight, and a light receiving surface 22a having a liquid crystal. A photo sensor 22 as a detection device that faces the front surface of the panel 12 and receives light reflected from the liquid crystal panel 12, and the liquid crystal display device 10 so that flicker is minimized based on the amount of reflected light detected by the photo sensor 22. A main body 29 having a potential adjusting unit 23 for adjusting the potential of the common electrode is provided. The light source device 21 includes a light source 34 that irradiates the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 of the liquid crystal display device 10 with irradiation light from a light emission surface 34a. As the light source 34, it is preferable to use a white LED that emits light having a wavelength with high sensitivity of the photosensor 22.

なお、バックライトを取付けた状態の液晶表示装置10において、バックライトを点灯することなく、液晶パネル12の前面に照射光を光源装置21により照射し、フォトセンサ22により検出された液晶パネル12からの反射光量に基づいてフリッカが最小となるように液晶表示装置10の共通電極を調整してもよい。    In the liquid crystal display device 10 with the backlight attached, the light source device 21 irradiates the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 without illuminating the backlight, and from the liquid crystal panel 12 detected by the photosensor 22. The common electrode of the liquid crystal display device 10 may be adjusted based on the amount of reflected light so that the flicker is minimized.

液晶表示装置用調整装置20の冶具部24には、液晶表示装置10のFPC14の電極に当接されて電気的に接続される電極を備えたFPC25が設けられている。液晶表示装置10は、FPC14,25の電極が当接するように冶具部24に位置決め載置され、FPC25がクランプ装置26によりFPC14に弾機的に押圧されることによって電位調整部23に接続される。電位調整部23と冶具部24とはケーブル27により電気的に接続されている。    The jig portion 24 of the adjustment device 20 for the liquid crystal display device is provided with an FPC 25 having electrodes that are in contact with and electrically connected to the electrodes of the FPC 14 of the liquid crystal display device 10. The liquid crystal display device 10 is positioned and placed on the jig portion 24 so that the electrodes of the FPCs 14 and 25 are in contact with each other, and the FPC 25 is elastically pressed against the FPC 14 by the clamp device 26 and connected to the potential adjusting portion 23. . The potential adjusting unit 23 and the jig unit 24 are electrically connected by a cable 27.

液晶表示装置10の共通電極の電位を調整するとき、冶具部24に取り付けられた液晶表示装置10の液晶パネル12の前面に照射光を照射するために、天井に光源装置21およびフォトセンサ22が取り付けられた箱状のカバー28が、液晶パネル12の前面を覆うように液晶表示装置10に被せられる。カバー28は、箱状の内部に外部から光が入らないように黒色の遮光部材で形成されている。    When adjusting the potential of the common electrode of the liquid crystal display device 10, the light source device 21 and the photo sensor 22 are arranged on the ceiling in order to irradiate the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 of the liquid crystal display device 10 attached to the jig unit 24. The attached box-shaped cover 28 is placed on the liquid crystal display device 10 so as to cover the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12. The cover 28 is formed of a black light shielding member so that light does not enter from the outside into the box-shaped interior.

光源装置21は、フォトセンサ22の受光面22aに照射光が直接入射することを防止する直接入射防止手段43を備えている。即ち、光源34の射光面34aから照射された照射光がフォトセンサ22の受光面22aに直接入射することを防止する構成として、射光面34aが液晶パネル12の前面と略平行な状態で対向するように、光源34がフォトセンサ22の側方でカバー28の天井に取り付けられ、受光面22aが射光面34aより近い位置で液晶パネル12の中央部前面と略平行な状態で対向するように、フォトセンサ22がカバー28の天井に取り付けられている。この場合の光源34としては、光源34及びフォトセンサ22がカバー28の天井に取り付けられたとき、射光面34aが受光面22aより遠い位置で液晶パネル12の前面と対向するように、薄型面実装LEDを使用するのが好ましい。    The light source device 21 includes a direct incident preventing unit 43 that prevents incident light from directly entering the light receiving surface 22 a of the photosensor 22. That is, as a configuration for preventing the light irradiated from the light emitting surface 34 a of the light source 34 from directly entering the light receiving surface 22 a of the photosensor 22, the light emitting surface 34 a faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 in a substantially parallel state. As described above, the light source 34 is attached to the ceiling of the cover 28 at the side of the photosensor 22, and the light receiving surface 22a is opposed to the central front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position closer to the light emitting surface 34a. A photosensor 22 is attached to the ceiling of the cover 28. As the light source 34 in this case, when the light source 34 and the photo sensor 22 are attached to the ceiling of the cover 28, the thin surface mounting is performed such that the light emitting surface 34a faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position farther from the light receiving surface 22a. It is preferable to use LEDs.

また、直接入射防止手段43は、図6に示すように、フォトセンサ22の導光面22aにグラッドを有する導光性のある導光板53が接合され、フォトセンサ22の受光面22aが導光板53の下面53aまで下がるのと同等になることにより、フォトセンサ22の受光面22aが射光面34aより近い位置で液晶パネル12の中央部前面と略平行な状態で対向する構成としてもよい。さらに、図7に示すように、フォトセンサ22がリード端子を備えたスペーサ54を介してカバー28の天井に取り付けられることにより、受光面22aが液晶パネル12の前面と射光面34aより近い位置で対向する構成としてもよい。    In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the direct incident preventing means 43 has a light guide plate 53 having a light guide property having a grad joined to the light guide surface 22a of the photosensor 22, and the light receiving surface 22a of the photosensor 22 is connected to the light guide plate. The light receiving surface 22a of the photosensor 22 may be opposed to the central front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position closer to the light emitting surface 34a by being equivalent to lowering to the lower surface 53a of 53. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the photosensor 22 is attached to the ceiling of the cover 28 via a spacer 54 having a lead terminal, so that the light receiving surface 22a is closer to the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 and the light emitting surface 34a. It is good also as a structure which opposes.

電位調整部23は、液晶パネル12にフリッカの検出に適した映像を表示させるために、かかる映像信号を発生して液晶表示装置10の駆動ICチップ13に送出する映像信号発生部30、フォトセンサ22からの検出信号を処理してフリッカの大きさに応じた信号を出力する信号出力部31、液晶表示装置10の共通電極に印加する共通電位を連続的に変化させるように駆動ICチップ13に指令する指令部32、および指令部32が駆動ICチップ13に指令した共通電位と、そのとき信号出力部31から出力された信号とに基づいてフリッカが最小となったときの共通電位を駆動ICチップ13にセットする電位設定部33等を備えている。指令部32は、マウス50からスクロール52の回転信号が入力される度に、液晶表示装置10の共通電極に印加する共通電位を連続的に変化させるように駆動ICチップ13に指令する。    The potential adjusting unit 23 generates a video signal and sends the video signal to the driving IC chip 13 of the liquid crystal display device 10 in order to display an image suitable for flicker detection on the liquid crystal panel 12, and a photo sensor. The signal output unit 31 that processes the detection signal from the signal 22 and outputs a signal corresponding to the size of the flicker, and the drive IC chip 13 so as to continuously change the common potential applied to the common electrode of the liquid crystal display device 10. Based on the command unit 32 commanded and the common potential commanded to the drive IC chip 13 by the command unit 32 and the signal output from the signal output unit 31 at that time, the common potential when the flicker is minimized is set to the drive IC. A potential setting unit 33 or the like to be set on the chip 13 is provided. The command unit 32 commands the drive IC chip 13 to continuously change the common potential applied to the common electrode of the liquid crystal display device 10 every time a rotation signal of the scroll 52 is input from the mouse 50.

次に、上記実施の形態に係る液晶表示装置用調整装置20の作動について説明する。共通電極の電位を調整される液晶表示装置10が、冶具部24に位置決め載置され、FPC25がクランプ装置26によりFPC14に圧接され、液晶表示装置10が本体部29に接続される。マウス50の左ボタン51が長く押されると、指令部32は液晶表示装置10の電源スイッチをオンさせる。カバー28が、液晶パネル12の前面を覆うように液晶表示装置10に被せられる。    Next, the operation of the liquid crystal display device adjusting apparatus 20 according to the above embodiment will be described. The liquid crystal display device 10 in which the potential of the common electrode is adjusted is positioned and mounted on the jig portion 24, the FPC 25 is pressed against the FPC 14 by the clamp device 26, and the liquid crystal display device 10 is connected to the main body portion 29. When the left button 51 of the mouse 50 is pressed for a long time, the command unit 32 turns on the power switch of the liquid crystal display device 10. A cover 28 is placed on the liquid crystal display device 10 so as to cover the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12.

マウス50の左ボタン51がクリック(左クリック)されると、指令部32は電位調整部23を作動させるとともに、光源34を発光させ、液晶パネル12の前面を照射光により照射させる。このとき、光源34は、射光面34aが液晶パネル12の前面と略平行な状態で対向し、液晶パネル12の前面に向かって照射するとともに、フォトセンサ22は、受光面22aが射光面34aより液晶パネル12に近い位置で液晶パネル12の前面と略平行な状態で対向しているので、光源34の射光面34aから照射された照射光がフォトセンサ22の受光面に直接入射することを防止することができる。そして、カバー28により液晶パネル12の前面が覆れた状態で、液晶パネル12の前面に照射光が照射されるので、液晶パネル12からの反射光は外部からの光を遮断した状態でフォトセンサ22の受光面に入射され、反射光の変化を高感度に検出することができる。    When the left button 51 of the mouse 50 is clicked (left click), the command unit 32 activates the potential adjustment unit 23 and causes the light source 34 to emit light and irradiate the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 with irradiation light. At this time, the light source 34 faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 with the light emitting surface 34a substantially parallel to the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12, and irradiates the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12. Since it faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position close to the liquid crystal panel 12, the light irradiated from the light emitting surface 34 a of the light source 34 is prevented from directly entering the light receiving surface of the photosensor 22. can do. Since the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 is covered with the cover 28 and the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 is irradiated with the irradiation light, the reflected light from the liquid crystal panel 12 blocks the light from the outside in the photo sensor. It is possible to detect the change of reflected light with high sensitivity.

指令部32は映像信号発生部30に映像信号発生指令を送出し、映像信号発生部30はフリッカの検出に適した映像の映像信号を発生して液晶表示装置10の駆動ICチップ13にFPC25,14を介して送出する。駆動ICチップ13は、映像信号に応じて液晶パネル12のX電極18を共通電極に1フレーム周期で順次接続し、Y電極17に制御電圧を1水平周期で順次印加することにより、映像を液晶パネル12に表示させる。このとき、共通電極に接続されたX電極18と、電圧が印加されたY電極17とが交差する画素では透光状態となり、液晶パネル12に入射された照射光がX電極18の反射部で反射されて明るくなり、電圧が印加されないY電極17に対応する画素では照射光がX電極18の反射部に到達せず反射されないので黒くなる。そして、Y電極17に印加される制御電圧は、1フレーム毎に正負交互に変わる交流電圧であるので、正負の制御電圧が異なると、1フレーム毎に画面の明るさが相異してフリッカが生じる。このフリッカは、X電極18が順次接続される共通電極の共通電位を調整することにより小さくすることができる。    The command unit 32 sends a video signal generation command to the video signal generation unit 30, and the video signal generation unit 30 generates a video signal of a video suitable for flicker detection and supplies the FPC 25, FPC 25, to the drive IC chip 13 of the liquid crystal display device 10. 14 to send out. The driving IC chip 13 sequentially connects the X electrode 18 of the liquid crystal panel 12 to the common electrode in one frame period in accordance with the video signal, and sequentially applies a control voltage to the Y electrode 17 in one horizontal period, thereby liquidating the image. Display on the panel 12. At this time, the pixel where the X electrode 18 connected to the common electrode and the Y electrode 17 to which the voltage is applied crosses is in a translucent state, and the irradiation light incident on the liquid crystal panel 12 is reflected by the reflection part of the X electrode 18. In the pixel corresponding to the Y electrode 17 that is reflected and brightened, the irradiation light does not reach the reflecting portion of the X electrode 18 and is not reflected, and thus becomes black. The control voltage applied to the Y electrode 17 is an alternating voltage that alternates between positive and negative for each frame. Therefore, if the positive and negative control voltages are different, the brightness of the screen is different for each frame and flicker occurs. Arise. This flicker can be reduced by adjusting the common potential of the common electrodes to which the X electrodes 18 are sequentially connected.

指令部32にマウス50からスクロール52の回転信号が入力される度に、指令部32は信号を駆動ICチップ13の共通電位設定端子に入力し、駆動ICチップ13の共通電位が信号の入力毎に変位される。1フレーム周期は、指令部32から入力される信号の間隔より十分小さいので、各信号が入力されたときの各共通電位におけるフリッカの大きさを検出することができる。    Each time the rotation signal of the scroll 52 is input from the mouse 50 to the command unit 32, the command unit 32 inputs the signal to the common potential setting terminal of the drive IC chip 13, and the common potential of the drive IC chip 13 is changed every time a signal is input. Is displaced. Since one frame period is sufficiently smaller than the interval of signals input from the command unit 32, the magnitude of flicker at each common potential when each signal is input can be detected.

信号出力部31は、フォトセンサ22から出力される液晶パネル12からの反射光量に応じた検出電流を電流・電圧変換回路により電圧に変換する。フリッカのある映像をフォトセンサ22で検出した場合、電流・電圧変換回路の出力は、図5(a)に示すようにフリッカに応じて微弱に変化する検出電圧35となる。検出電圧35は、交流再生回路により直流成分が除去されて図5(b)に示す波形電圧36となり、増幅回路により図5(c)の増幅波形電圧37のように増幅される。信号出力部31は、増幅波形電圧37について1フレーム周期毎の最大ピーク値と最小ピーク値(Peak to Peak)の差分値をピーク値ホールド回路により検出し、この差分値をフリッカの大きさに応じた信号として出力する。電位設定部33では、1フレーム周期毎の差分値を順次記憶し、マウス50から連続して送出された各信号によって駆動ICチップ13に設定された各共通電位における1フレーム周期毎の差分値を比較し、差分値が最小となったときの共通電圧を駆動ICチップ13の共通電位設定部に設定する。    The signal output unit 31 converts a detection current corresponding to the amount of light reflected from the liquid crystal panel 12 output from the photosensor 22 into a voltage using a current / voltage conversion circuit. When an image with flicker is detected by the photosensor 22, the output of the current / voltage conversion circuit becomes a detection voltage 35 that changes slightly according to flicker as shown in FIG. The DC voltage is removed from the detection voltage 35 by the AC regeneration circuit to become the waveform voltage 36 shown in FIG. 5B, and the amplified voltage is amplified by the amplification circuit like the amplified waveform voltage 37 in FIG. 5C. The signal output unit 31 detects a difference value between the maximum peak value and the minimum peak value (Peak to Peak) for each frame period with respect to the amplified waveform voltage 37 by a peak value hold circuit, and the difference value is determined according to the flicker size. Output as a signal. The potential setting unit 33 sequentially stores the difference value for each frame period, and the difference value for each frame period in each common potential set in the drive IC chip 13 by each signal continuously sent from the mouse 50. The common voltage when the difference value is minimized is set in the common potential setting unit of the drive IC chip 13.

上記実施の形態では、フォトセンサ22の受光面22aに照射光が直接入射することを防止する直接入射防止手段43は、射光面34aが液晶パネル12の前面と対向し、受光面22aが射光面34aより近い位置で液晶パネル12の中央部前面と対向するように、光源34及びフォトセンサ22がカバー28の天井に取り付けられて構成されているが、これに限定されるものではない。    In the above embodiment, the direct incident preventing means 43 for preventing the incident light from directly entering the light receiving surface 22a of the photosensor 22 is such that the light emitting surface 34a faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12, and the light receiving surface 22a is the light emitting surface. Although the light source 34 and the photosensor 22 are configured to be attached to the ceiling of the cover 28 so as to face the front surface of the central portion of the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position closer to 34a, the present invention is not limited to this.

図8に示すように、直接入射防止手段43は、受光面22aが液晶パネル12の中央部前面と略平行な状態で対向するように、フォトセンサ22がカバー28の天井に取り付けられ、射光面34aが受光面22aより液晶パネル12に近い位置で液晶パネル前面と略平行な状態で対向するように、光源34がフォトセンサ22の側方でカバー28の天井に取り付けられている構成でもよい。この場合の光源34としては、光源34及びフォトセンサ22がカバー28の天井に取り付けられたとき、射光面34aが液晶パネル12の前面に受光面22aより近い位置で対向するように、砲丸タイプのLEDやリード端子タイプの背の高いものを使用するのが好ましい。   As shown in FIG. 8, the direct incident preventing means 43 has a photosensor 22 attached to the ceiling of the cover 28 so that the light receiving surface 22a faces the front surface of the central portion of the liquid crystal panel 12 in a substantially parallel state. A configuration in which the light source 34 is attached to the ceiling of the cover 28 on the side of the photosensor 22 so that 34a faces the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position closer to the liquid crystal panel 12 than the light receiving surface 22a. As the light source 34 in this case, when the light source 34 and the photosensor 22 are attached to the ceiling of the cover 28, a cannonball type so that the light emitting surface 34 a faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position closer to the light receiving surface 22 a. It is preferable to use a tall LED or lead terminal type.

これによれば、光源34は、射光面34aが液晶パネル12の前面と受光面22aより近い位置で略平行な状態で対向し、液晶パネル12の前面に向かって照射し、フォトセンサ22は、受光面22aが液晶パネル12の前面と略平行な状態で対向しているので、光源34の射光面34aから照射された照射光がフォトセンサ22の受光面に直接入射することを防止することができる。そして、カバー28により液晶パネル12の前面が覆れた状態で、液晶パネル12の前面に照射光が照射されるので、液晶パネル12からの反射光は外部からの光を遮断した状態でフォトセンサ22の受光面に入射され、反射光の変化を高感度に検出することができる。    According to this, the light source 34 faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 in a substantially parallel state at a position closer to the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 and irradiates the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12. Since the light receiving surface 22a faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 in a substantially parallel state, it is possible to prevent the irradiation light emitted from the light emitting surface 34a of the light source 34 from directly entering the light receiving surface of the photosensor 22. it can. Since the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 is covered with the cover 28 and the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 is irradiated with the irradiation light, the reflected light from the liquid crystal panel 12 blocks the light from the outside in the photo sensor. It is possible to detect the change of reflected light with high sensitivity.

また、図9に示すように、直接入射防止手段43は、光源34の射光面34aに導光板55が接合され、光源34の射光面34aが導光板55の下面55aまで下げられるのと同等になることにより、光源34の射光面34aが受光面22aより近い位置で液晶パネル12の前面と略平行な状態で対向する構成としてもよい。さらに、図10に示すように、光源34がスペーサ56を介してカバー28の天井に取り付けられることにより、射光面34aが液晶パネル12の前面と受光面22aより近い位置で対向する構成としてもよい。    Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the direct incident preventing means 43 is equivalent to the case where the light guide plate 55 is joined to the light emitting surface 34 a of the light source 34 and the light emitting surface 34 a of the light source 34 is lowered to the lower surface 55 a of the light guide plate 55. Thus, the light-emitting surface 34a of the light source 34 may be configured to face the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 in a substantially parallel state at a position closer to the light-receiving surface 22a. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the light source 34 may be attached to the ceiling of the cover 28 via the spacer 56, so that the light emitting surface 34a faces the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 at a position closer to the light receiving surface 22a. .

さらに、図11に示すように、直接入射防止手段43は、光源34の射光面34aとフォトセンサ22の受光面22aとの間に遮光体57が配置された構成としてもよい。これによれば、光源34の射光面34aからフォトセンサ22の受光面22aに向かう照射光は遮光体57により遮断され、照射光が受光面22aに直接入射することが防止される。    Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, the direct incident preventing means 43 may be configured such that a light blocking body 57 is disposed between the light emitting surface 34 a of the light source 34 and the light receiving surface 22 a of the photosensor 22. According to this, the irradiation light which goes to the light-receiving surface 22a of the photosensor 22 from the light-emitting surface 34a of the light source 34 is interrupted | blocked by the light-shielding body 57, and it prevents that irradiation light directly injects into the light-receiving surface 22a.

直接入射防止手段43は、図12に示すように、フォトセンサ22の受光面22aと直角な光軸22bと、光源34の射光面34と直角な光軸34bとが、液晶パネル12の前面の法線12aに対して等角度傾斜した状態で、受光面22a及び射光面34aが液晶パネル12の前面と対向して配置されている構成としてもよい。    As shown in FIG. 12, the direct incident preventing means 43 includes an optical axis 22b perpendicular to the light receiving surface 22a of the photosensor 22 and an optical axis 34b perpendicular to the light emitting surface 34 of the light source 34 on the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12. The light receiving surface 22a and the light emitting surface 34a may be arranged to face the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12 while being inclined at an equal angle with respect to the normal line 12a.

これによれば、射光面34aから照射された照射光が、フォトセンサ22の受光面22aに直接入射することを簡素な構成により防止することができるとともに、液晶パネル12により反射されて受光面22aに確実に入射されるので、液晶パネルにより反射された反射光量の変化を高感度に検出することができる。    According to this, it is possible to prevent the irradiation light irradiated from the light emitting surface 34a from directly entering the light receiving surface 22a of the photosensor 22 with a simple configuration and to be reflected by the liquid crystal panel 12 to receive the light receiving surface 22a. Therefore, the change in the amount of reflected light reflected by the liquid crystal panel can be detected with high sensitivity.

さらに、図13に示すように、直接入射防止手段43は、光源34からの照射光がハーフミラー58により屈曲されて液晶パネル12の前面を照射し、該照射光が液晶パネル12により反射された反射光がハーフミラー58を透過してフォトセンサ22の受光面22aに入射される構成としてもよい。これによれば、光源34からの照射光がフォトセンサ22の受光面22aに直接入射することを確実に防止することができ、液晶パネル12に入射された照射光がX電極18の反射部で反射された反射光量の変化を一層高感度に検出することができる。    Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the direct incident preventing unit 43 is configured such that the irradiation light from the light source 34 is bent by the half mirror 58 to irradiate the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 12, and the irradiation light is reflected by the liquid crystal panel 12. The reflected light may pass through the half mirror 58 and enter the light receiving surface 22a of the photosensor 22. According to this, it is possible to reliably prevent the irradiation light from the light source 34 from directly entering the light receiving surface 22 a of the photosensor 22, and the irradiation light incident on the liquid crystal panel 12 is reflected by the reflection portion of the X electrode 18. A change in the amount of reflected light can be detected with higher sensitivity.

光源装置21の光源34としては、図14に示すように、フォトセンサ22の周囲に環状の導光体40を配置し、導光体40に発光ダイオード41が発する光を外周面の複数個所、例えば、直径方向に離れた2箇所から導入して導光体40を発光させる構成としてもよい。これによれば、フォトセンサ22の周囲に配置された導光体40を発光ダイオード41からの光により発光させるので、液晶パネル12からの反射光がフォトセンサ22の受光面に周囲から入射して、反射光にムラがなくなり、反射光量の変化を高精度に検出することができる。導光体40を発光させる発光体は、発光ダイオード41に限定されるものではなく、蛍光ランプ、白熱ランプ、ハロゲンランプなど、光量が電流により制御される発光体であればよい。    As the light source 34 of the light source device 21, as shown in FIG. 14, an annular light guide 40 is arranged around the photosensor 22, and light emitted from the light emitting diodes 41 is emitted to the light guide 40 at a plurality of locations on the outer peripheral surface. For example, it is good also as a structure which introduce | transduces from two places away in the diameter direction and makes the light guide 40 light-emit. According to this, since the light guide 40 disposed around the photosensor 22 emits light by the light from the light emitting diode 41, the reflected light from the liquid crystal panel 12 enters the light receiving surface of the photosensor 22 from the periphery. The reflected light is not uneven, and the change in the amount of reflected light can be detected with high accuracy. The light emitter that emits light from the light guide 40 is not limited to the light emitting diode 41, and may be a light emitter whose light amount is controlled by current, such as a fluorescent lamp, an incandescent lamp, and a halogen lamp.

また、検出装置は、フォトセンサに限られるものではなく、CCDカメラ、CMOSカメラ等を用いてもよい。    Further, the detection device is not limited to a photo sensor, and a CCD camera, a CMOS camera, or the like may be used.
