Abstract

A display apparatus has: a touch panel of a capacitance type; a detector which detects, as an environmental condition, at least one of temperature, humidity, and pressure; and an adjuster which adjusts the environmental condition based on the result of the detection. The adjuster varies the intensity of adjustment stepwise.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a capacitance type touch panel;

a detector which detects, as an environmental condition, at least one of temperature, humidity, and pressure; and

an adjuster which adjusts the environmental condition based on the result of the detection, wherein

the adjuster varies the intensity of adjustment stepwise.

2. A display apparatus comprising:

a liquid crystal panel;

a light-transmissive member arranged at the front-face side of the liquid crystal panel;

a touch panel arranged at the front-face side of the light-transmissive member; and

a generator which generates a current of air in a space between the liquid crystal panel and the light-transmissive member, wherein

the generator is driven so as to vary the intensity of the current of air stepwise.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the generator has a plurality of fans, and varies the intensity of the current of air by varying the number of fans driven stepwise.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the generator has a fan, and varies the intensity of the current of air by varying the rotation speed of the fan stepwise.

5. A vending machine comprising the display apparatus according to claim 2.
