A plurality of virtual viewpoint images corresponding to positions and directions of a plurality of virtual viewpoints are displayed on an operation screen for an operation associated with the position and direction of the virtual viewpoint. The virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the virtual viewpoint selected as a position and direction operation target among the plurality of virtual viewpoints is generated based on a plurality of captured images obtained by capturing an image capturing target region by a plurality of cameras, and is transmitted to another apparatus.

An illuminated trackpad includes a substrate, a light guide plate disposed under the substrate, a circuit board disposed under the light guide plate, and light-emitting elements disposed on the circuit board. The light guide plate includes light guide units and through holes. Each light guide unit is composed of light guide microstructures and substantially in the shape of a strip or a line. The through holes are respectively arranged on one side of the light guide units. The circuit board has a touch surface and a non-touch surface. The touch surface has a touch area on which sensing electrodes are disposed. The light-emitting elements are respectively accommodated in the through holes. After entering the light guide plate through inner walls of the through holes, the lights emitted by the light-emitting elements are guided upward through the light guide units to pass through the substrate and exit.

A renewable frozen material display for displaying 2-dimensional images on or in the frozen material and 3-dimensional images above the frozen material. The frozen material is easily renewed by reflowing and freezing the liquid material to create a new display. A plurality of light sources emit light into or onto the frozen material to form the images. A plurality of sensors detect location or position of an object or participant which affects or determines aspects of the images or which image is displayed. User devices via a server interact with the renewable frozen material display and affect content of the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional images and location of the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional images to provide a group interacting activity environment.

A display device is capable of substantially preventing a short circuit between a common electrode and a test pad, the display device including: a first substrate and a second substrate; a thin film transistor disposed on the first substrate; a gate line and a data line connected to the thin film transistor; a test pad portion connected to the data line; a test line connecting the test pad portion and the data line; and a spacer disposed on the first substrate. The spacer includes: a first spacer disposed on the display area and supporting the first substrate and the second substrate; a second spacer disposed on the display area, the second spacer having a less height than a height of the first spacer; and a third spacer overlapping the test line and the test pad portion disposed on the non-display area, the third spacer not contacting the second substrate.
