Patent TW-464784-B (TW)
Title: Liquid crystal display device
Inventor: NAGAKUBO HIDEAKI
IPC: G02F1/13357
Filed: 1997-11-18
Granted: 2001-11-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device for guiding light from a backlight source to a light transmission member and irradiating a liquid crystal panel, and more specifically, to the improvement of the brightness of the liquid crystal panel. As a countermeasure to cope with the generation of ""glittering state"" emission lines (bright lines) in the display area of the liquid crystal panel, the conventional liquid crystal display device has a black or gray colored portion formed on the side of a reflection sheet near to a backlight source to absorb light of the backlight source and to reduce the quantity of light emerged upward from a light transmission member. Thus, there is caused a problem that the brightness of the display area of the liquid crystal panel is lowered and it is difficult to discriminate characters etc. displayed on that area. The feature of the present invention is: a light quantity control portion (4a) is formed to a dot shape by print or the like on a diffusion plate (4) interposed between lens sheets (3) and a light transmission member (5) on the side thereof near to a backlight source (8) composed of a cold cathode tube or the like. Since the dots of the light quantity control portion (4a) have a light transmitting property to a certain extent, they reflect a part of the light from the backlight source (8) and permit the remaining light to pass through.

Title: Semiconductor memory device
Inventor: TOMITA HIROYOSHI
IPC: G11C11/401
Filed: 1997-12-23
Granted: 2000-05-01
Abstract: In the present invention data from the odd memory cell array is latched to a data-hold circuit at a fast timing, which ignores the delay time of the +1 arithmetic circuit, and outputs that data to the output terminal. Further, when the supplied column address is even, data from the even memory cell array is latched to a data -hold circuit at a fast timing similar to that described above, and when the column address is odd, this data is latched to a data-hold circuit with a delay equivalent to the delay of the +1 arithmetic circuit. In this case, since the output of even output data to an output terminal occurs following the output of odd output data, the overall output operation is not affected comparing to the conventional one. Another aspect of the present invention provides a circuit, which shifts one bit combinations of the second and third bits following the least significant bit in a column address. And when the column address is even, the second and third bits address as-is are supplied into an even decoder, and when the column address is odd, supplies a shifted combination of the second and third bits address are supplied to the even decoder. Since this shift operation does not require the same delay time as conventional arithmetic operations, both even and odd CAS delay time can be reduced.

Title: Voltage mode feedback burst mode circuit
Inventor: DWELLEY DAVID M
IPC: H02M3/156
Filed: 1999-06-07
Granted: 2001-08-01
Abstract: A voltage-mode feedback switching regulator circuit capable of automatically entering and exiting burst mode is provided. When the load current is low, the switching regulator utilizes a fixed minimum non-zero duty cycle generator to override a pulse-width modulator generator and provide a minimum ON-cycle to a power switch in the switching regulator. This drives the required duty cycle generated by the pulse-width modulator lower. When the pulse-width modulator is driven so low that it requires a zero duty cycle, digital logic, which has been receiving the duty cycle of the pulse-width modulator, commands the switching regulator to enter burst mode and shut down. This principle can be utilized in either a non-synchronous or synchronous switching regulator with small modifications. In addition, the principle can be utilized for both step-down and step-up configurations.

Abstract: Radiotelephones having retractable antenna systems are disclosed which include a helix antenna coupled to an extendible rod antenna. When the rod antenna is in the retracted position, the rod antenna is mostly, or completely, located within the housing of the radiotelephone, whereas when the radiotelephone operates with the rod antenna in the extended position, most, or all, of the rod antenna is pulled outside of the housing, thereby extending the helix antenna well away from the body of the radiotelephone. The antennas are configured to provide a 1/4 wavelength electrical length when retracted and a 1/2 wavelength electrical length when extended in the low frequency (such as AMPS) band. A matching circuit is provided using known techniques to provide a selected impedence in the extended position. The tap point where the helical antenna is connected to the rod antenna is intermediate the ends of the helical antenna and is selected to provide a desired impedence in the high frequency (such as PCS) band.

Title: Method for preventing the metal contamination on substrate backside
Inventor: JENG GUO-SHIAN
IPC: H01L23/522
Filed: 1999-07-27
Granted: 2002-12-21
Abstract: A method for preventing the metal contamination on substrate backside is disclosed. During forming many types of semiconductor devices and circuits on the substrate, it is inevitable to form conductive or insulated films on the substrate backside. So when metal plugs are formed on the substrate, the substrate backside is also deposited metal film. If the metal directly contacts the poly-silicon formed in the former process, this metal film will be the hard mask of poly-silicon and oxide film etching. Therefore, this invention forms a thin oxide layer on the backside of poly-silicon film in advance to avoid the metal film from contacting the poly-silicon film, so as to resolve the traditional technology problem.

Thus it can be prevented that in a memory-access the different propagation-times of the input-signals of said output-driver circuit result in multiple switch-processes of said output-driver within an access cycle. Through an event-oriented control of the release of said output-driver, the function can also be guaranteed in the variable frequencies of the clock-control (clock).
