| 20090002281 | ACTIVE MATRIX ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE DISPLAY AND ITS GRADATION CONTROL METHOD - An active matrix organic electroluminescence(EL) display comprises plural selection and data lines mutually crossed, and a pixel circuit connected to the selection and data lines and having switching devices, a storage capacitor and an organic EL device. In a part of a period that the pixel circuit connected to the selection line is being selected, an applied first data signal is held as a voltage at the storage capacitor of the selected pixel circuit. After the selection signal applying, a first current according to the held voltage is supplied to the organic EL device, and this emits light at luminance according to the first current. In another part of the period, a second current according to an applied second data signal is supplied to the organic EL device of the selected pixel circuit, and this emits light at luminance according to the second current. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090002356 | DISPLAY APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOD OF DISPLAY APPARATUS - A display apparatus including a pixel circuit including a light emitting element arranged in a site where a scanning line crosses a signal line; a holding capacitor; a first switch which opens and closes connection between one terminal of the light emitting element and the signal line in accordance with a signal applied to the scanning line; a second switch which opens and closes connection between one terminal of the holding capacitor and the signal line in accordance with a signal applied to the scanning line to control current to be supplied to the light emitting element, wherein in the pixel circuit selected by a signal of the scanning line, the first switch is closed to apply a voltage to one terminal of the light emitting element from a first voltage supply connected to the signal line and the second switch is closed to apply a voltage to one terminal of the holding capacitor from a second voltage supply connected to the signal line. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100073265 | ACTIVE-MATRIX DISPLAY AND DRIVE METHOD THEREOF - An active-matrix display includes a data line, at least one select line, a control unit supplying a voltage signal and a current signal to the data line, and a pixel circuit receiving the voltage signal and the current signal from the data line to drive a light emitting element, the control unit including a voltage or first current source supplying a voltage or current pulse to the data line in order to make the voltage holding unit hold the voltage signal for making the light emitting element emit light having predetermined brightness in a first selection period in which the first switch is closed, a second current source supplying the current signal for making the light emitting element emit light having the predetermined brightness to the data line in a second selection period in which the first switch and the second switch are closed, a detection circuit detecting potential held in the voltage holding unit in the second selection period, and a correction unit correcting the voltage signal based on a relationship between the current signal and the detected potential. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20080203404 | OPTICAL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - In an optical semiconductor device that emits or receives light substantially perpendicularly to or in parallel to an active surface formed on a semiconductor substrate, the optical semiconductor device, an electrode that is formed on the active surface side and connected to the active surface is stepped or tapered at an end of the electrode. The electrode of the optical semiconductor device is formed of three layers including an adhesive layer, a diffusion prevention layer, and an Au layer, and the stepped configuration or the taped configuration is formed by a difference of the thickness of the Au layer or the thickness of the adhesive layer/diffusion prevention layer/Au layer. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100022043 | SEMICONDUCTOR LASER DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A method of manufacturing semiconductor laser device capable of reducing κL, with manufacturing restrictions satisfied, is provided. In a distributed-feedback or distributed-reflective semiconductor laser device, immediately before burying regrowth of a diffraction grating, halogen-based gas is introduced to a reactor, and etching is performed on the diffraction grating so that each side wall has at least two or more crystal faces and a ratio of length of an upper side in a waveguide direction to a bottom side parallel to a (100) surface is 0 to 0.3. And, a reactive product formed on side surfaces of the diffraction grating and in trench portions between stripes of the diffraction grating at an increase of temperature for regrowth is removed. Therefore, the diffraction grating with reduced height and a sine wave shape is obtained, thereby κL of the device is reduced. Thus, an oscillation threshold and optical output efficiency can be improved. | 01-28-2010 |
