Patent EP-1368700-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WHITEHEAD LORNE A
IPC: G02F1/1677
Filed: 2001-10-31
Abstract: A color image display having a spatially uniform distribution of at least two different "types" of prism structure. The first type consists of a prism, a color filter associated with one of the prism's facets and two color absorbing control members, each of which can be biased away from or into optical contact with one of the prism's other two facets. The color filter has a first spectral absorption characteristic, and the control members have second and third spectral absorption characteristics respectively. The second type of prism structure consists of a second prism, a color filter associated with one of the second prism's facets and at least one color absorbing control member which can be biased away from or into optical contact with one of the second prism's other two facets. The second prism's color filter and control member have fourth and fifth spectral absorption characteristics respectively. The spectral absorption characteristics are selected such that, for any selected set comprising proximate ones of each of the two types of prism structure, controlled movement of the members between particular selected combinations of their possible respective positions causes the set as a whole to reflect light which has an average spectral reflectance characteristic corresponding to any one of three independent colors, with no one of the independent colors being obtainable by mixing any other two of the independent colors.

Abstract: Wavelength multiplexed light is amplified by the
EDF 41a and EDF 41b. Gains of the EDF 41a and EDF 41b
are respectively held to be predetermined values by the
AGC circuit 43a and AGC circuit 43b. Between the EDF
41a and EDF 41b, a variable attenuator 42 is arranged.
A loss in the variable attenuator 42 is controlled by
the ALC circuit 44 so that output power is held to be
a predetermined value instructed by a supervisory control
signal. Respective time constants of the AGC circuit
43a and AGC circuit 43b are sufficiently short in
comparison with the response times of the EDF 43a and
EDF 43bs. The time constant of the ALC circuit 44 is
sufficiently long in comparison with the time period
required to transmit the supervisory control signal to
each optical node.

Abstract: In a ferroelectric memory of 1T1C configuration in which a
memory cell consists of 1 transistor and 1 capacitor per bit,
the capacitance of a dummy memory cell capacitor, i.e., the
area occupied by the dummy memory cell capacitor is determined
based on the capacitive characteristic of a main memory cell
capacitor obtained when the main memory cell capacitor was
repeatedly operated with both positive voltage and negative
voltage until its capacitive characteristic presented no more
change. Moreover, not only the main memory cell capacitor but
also the dummy memory cell capacitor are operated with both
positive voltage and negative voltage by using a power-source
voltage, not a ground voltage, as a voltage for resetting the
dummy memory cell capacitor. Consequently, the effect of an
imprint on the ferroelectric capacitor is reduced, thereby
preventing the malfunction of the ferroelectric memory.
