Patent EP-1158345-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HANAKAWA MANABU
IPC: G02F1/1345
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: The invention seeks to prevent a decrease in reflectance of the reflective film
during a subsequent heat treatment when a silver alloy is used as a reflective film in a
reflective or transflective liquid crystal device. A liquid crystal device has a configuration
including substrates 200 and 300 bonded to each other with a sealant 110 and a liquid
crystal 160 enclosed in the gap therebetween. Common electrodes 214 are provided on
the inner face of the substrate 200, whereas an underlying film 301, a reflective film 302
composed of a silver alloy, a protective film 303 covering the reflective film 302, and
segment electrodes 314 are provided on the inner face of the backside substrate 300.
Since the protective film 303 suppresses the crystal grain growth of the reflective film
302 at a high-temperature treatment, a decrease in reflectance is avoided. A lead 350
comprises a laminate of a reflective conductive film 352 having a crystal grain size which
is larger than that of the reflective film 302 and a transparent conductive film 354 which
is formed by patterning the same layer as the segment electrode 314.

Abstract: In a tuned switch mode power supply, a supply inductance is coupled to a capacitance to form a tuned, resonant circuit. A transistor switch is coupled to the resonant circuit for generating current pulses in the inductance, coupled to a load circuit to provide an output of the power supply. Resonant voltage pulses are developed between a pair of main current conducting terminals of the transistor switch. A controller is coupled to the transistor switch for generating a switch control signal, during a run mode of operation. The transistor switch is turned on periodically, when the resonant voltage pulses reaches a zero voltage, to provide for zero voltage switching. The generation of the current pulses is disabled to provide for a burst mode operation, in a standby mode operation.
