Granted: 2005-04-06
Abstract: An electro-optical device of the present invention includes a TFT array substrate having pixel electrodes, and an opposing substrate having an opposing electrode. The surface of a substrate beneath the pixel electrode in the TFT array substrate or the surface of a substrate beneath the opposing electrode in the opposing substrate is raised in a plurality of projections in an area facing the spacing between adjacent pixel electrodes which are driven by mutually opposite polarity voltages in an alternating drive manner. Arranged on top of the projections are edge portions of the adjacent pixel electrodes. The substrate surface is planarized to be flat in an area thereof facing the spacing between adjacent pixel electrodes which are driven by the same polarity voltages in an alternating drive method. With this arrangement, the electro-optical device such as a liquid-crystal display device provides a high aperture ratio of a pixel and presents a high-contrast and bright image by reducing an orientation defect of a liquid crystal resulting from a step in the surface of the substrate facing the liquid crystal and an orientation defect of the liquid crystal resulting from a transverse electric field.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: Rapid photometric evaluation of capillary test strips using particularly small samples examines normalized signals from more than one optical path to avoid location error of detection zone. The test strip is inserted in a holder, the detection zone opposite two or more light sources and positioned with tolerance deviation. A sample is brought into contact with the zone, where the sample analytes induce photometric alteration. A first detection signal is produced by reflection or transmission, using the first source. A second signal is produced using the second source, from a location offset in the deviation direction. By comparison, it is determined whether each signal came from illumination of a region fully in the test zone. An appropriate detection signal is selected. Evaluation determines the analyte concentration in the sample. An independent claim is included for the equipment required to carry out testing as described.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems such as workability degradation and package warpage, etc., caused by remarkable warpage of an insulating resin sheet provided as an insulating sheet, on both sides of which electrodes and wiring connections are conventionally patterned in the development of a semiconductor device, wherein a flexible sheet with conductive patterns is employed as a supporting base board, the semiconductor is mounted thereon and an entire body is molded. SOLUTION: A first conductive film 3 is entirely formed on the surface of an insulating resin 2 or is formed after patterning thereon. However, a second conductive film 4 is formed on the backside of the insulating resin thicker than the first conductive film 3. Since there is the second conductive film 4 thickly formed on the backside of the insulating resin sheet 1 in this manner, it is possible to prevent the warpage generation caused by a difference of thermal expansion coefficients.
