  • Publication number: 20240114716
    Abstract: A first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element that have a resonance structure that causes output light from a light-emission functional layer to resonate between a reflective layer and a semi-transmissive reflective layer, and a pixel definition layer, and in which an aperture part is formed to correspond to each of the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element, are formed on a base. A first interval between the reflective layer and the semi-transmissive reflective layer in the first light-emitting element and a second interval between the reflective layer and the semi-transmissive reflective layer in the second light-emitting element are different, and a film thickness of the pixel definition layer is less than a difference between the first interval and the second interval.

  • Patent number: 9727988
    Abstract: A logging data about a signal identifier of the I/O signals which changed in on/off state are stored in a ring buffer. A logging screen includes identifier display parts, logic-graph display parts and first and second cursors. The logic-graph display parts display logic graphs associated with signal identifiers, respectively. When any one of the identifier display parts displayed on the logging screen is clicked, the logging screen is changed to an input window. If a desired input identifier is input in the input window, the logging data associated with the signal identifier is read from the ring buffer and the logic graph is displayed in the logic-graph display parts. The logic graph can be modified.

  • Patent number: 7864555
    Abstract: A pair of power supply lines that are orthogonal to the border with the cell array are placed, for each one-bit processing circuit of the data processing unit, in a semiconductor storage device such as SRAM or the like comprising a data processing unit for writing data to memory cells and reading it therefrom, a row decode unit for driving the word lines of the memory cells, and a timing control unit for generating a control pulse for the data processing unit, all of which are arranged around the circumference of a cell array in which memory cells are arrayed in a grid-like fashion. MOS transistors are placed between the power supply lines in such a position that the principal axis direction of the gate pattern is orthogonal to the two aforementioned wirings, and are closely arrayed in the longitudinal direction of the power supply lines.

  • Patent number: 6334522
    Abstract: In a control apparatus for a passenger conveyor, passenger detecting devices provided on balustrades distinguish and monitor the absence/presence of a passenger within first zones on an entrance gate side and an exit gate side including floor boards of the entrance gate side and the exit gate side, and the absence/presence of a passenger within second zones on the entrance gate side and the exit gate side adjacent to and beyond the first zones, covering the first zones. When a passenger is detected in the second zone on the entrance gate side in a standby mode, a mode switching circuit switches the operating mode to an intermediate mode, and when a passenger is detected in the first zone on the entrance gate side in the intermediate mode, the mode switching circuit switches the operating mode to a conveying mode.
