<p>Provided is a liquid crystal temperature sensor including: a liquid crystal panel including a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer; and a control section for controlling driving of the liquid crystal panel, the first substrate including (i) a plurality of signal lines intersecting with each other and (ii) switching elements correspondingly provided to intersections of the plurality of signal lines, the liquid crystal panel including a plurality of picture elements arranged in a matrix. In at least one embodiment, the control section includes a current-to-temperature information converting section for (i) detecting an amount of current flowing into at least one of the picture elements and (ii) converting the amount of current detected, into temperature information of part of the liquid crystal layer which part corresponds to the at least one of the picture elements.</p> |
