Patent EP-1467224-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SEITZ PETER
IPC: G01S17/87
Filed: 2003-04-07
Abstract: The optical proximity detector (10) comprises a flexible substrate (1) on which a plurality of light sources (6) and photodetectors (8) are arranged, consisting of thin, flexible layers of organic semiconductors (3.1, 3.2) and transparent electrodes (2.1, 2.2, 4.1, 4.2). The light sources (6) emit continuous or pulsed light (7) through the transparent electrodes (2.1, 2.2, 4.1, 4.2). An object (9) close to the light-emitting surface of the detector (10) partially reflects this light (7), and a fraction of it reaches an adjacent photodetector (8) that converts this light into an electrical signal. This signal contains information about the proximity of the object (9), and the information can be extracted with an electronic circuit that is either measuring the amount of detected continuous light or demodulating the detected light pulses. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a fitting region for a SAW filter which includes langasite as its piezoelectric element,
there are included an input side terminal electrode and an output side terminal electrode
which are connected to an input terminal and to an output terminal of the SAW filter. To
each of the terminal electrodes, at a position which is separated by just a predetermined
distance from the fitting region of the SAW filter, there is connected a micro strip line
which extends in mutually opposite directions along a direction which is parallel to the
transmission direction of a frequency signal within the SAW filter. A slit is provided in
the fitting region of the SAW filter and extends in a direction which intersects the
transmission direction of the frequency signal within the SAW filter. A plurality of
through holes are provided in the printed substrate and electrically connect together its
surface and its rear surface which is grounded. Furthermore, there is provided a
protective member which has a conductive surface and which is in contact with the
surface of said filter, and said conductive surface of said protective member which is in
contact with the surface of said filter is set so as to be of the same size as the surface of
said filter, or so as to be smaller than it.

Abstract: A doubler part 10 doubles the frequencies of video signals.
A drive control circuit 34 generates, in response to a synchronizing
signal outputted from the doubler part 10, PWM dimming frequency
information such that a PWM dimming frequency f and a black display
ratio B satisfy the relationships f > = 25B + 250 and B > 10, and
provides such information to a PWM dimming signal generation
circuit 17. In addition, the drive control circuit 34 drives a
gate driver 12 and a source driver 13 in a manner such that one
frame period is divided into an image display period and a black
display period. The PWM dimming signal generation circuit 17
generates, in response to a synchronizing signal and the PWM dimming
frequency information, a PWM dimming signal and provides the PWM
dimming signal to a lighting circuit 16. The lighting circuit
16 activates a backlight device 15 with dimming, in response to
the PWM dimming signal. This configuration reduces colored
interference fringes in a liquid crystal display device resulting
from the combination of a black insertion drive technique and a
PWM dimming technique.

Abstract: In order to adjust thickness of a bonded silicon single crystal film
15 depending of thickness of an SOI layer 5 to be obtained, depth of
formation d1+tx of a separatory ion implanted layer 4, measured from a
first main surface J, in the separatory ion implanted layer formation step
is adjusted through energy of the ion implantation. Dose of the ion
implantation is set smaller as the depth of formation measured from the
first main surface J becomes smaller. A smaller dose results in a
smaller surface roughness of the separation surface, and makes it
possible to reduce polishing stock removal of the separation surface of
the bonded silicon single crystal film in the planarization step.
Uniformity in the thickness of the SOI layer can consequently be
improved even for the case where a thin SOI layer has to be formed.
The present invention is therefore successful in providing a method of
fabricating an SOI wafer capable of suppressing variations in the
intra-wafer and inter-wafer uniformity of the thickness of the SOI layer to
a sufficiently low level, even for the case where a required level of the
thickness of the SOI layer is extremely small.
