Abstract: A bump connection is formed by stacking at least two metallic balls of different kinds of metals on a conductor of an electronic component such as a semiconductor device. The bump connection is obtained by forming the metallic balls using metallic wires. An apparatus for forming the connection includes a support, capillary member for having a wire pass therethrough, a pair of clamps for clamping the wire, and a “torch” (e.g., electrode, gas flame) which heats the tip of the wire, forming the ball. Successive balls can be formed by this apparatus atop the initially formed ball to provide a stacked configuration.

Abstract: An organic EL display device comprises an organic EL element PX in which a self light-emitting layer is held between an anode and a cathode, and a pixel switch SW′ for pixels formed of the organic EL element PX. Particularly, the pixel switch SW′ includes a source electrode and a drain electrode which is formed together with the anode on an interlayer insulating film so as to reflect the light laterally emitted from the self light-emitting layer.

Abstract: An imide-based photosensitive resin composition comprised of (1) a photosensitive imidosiloxane oligomer comprised of a reaction product of an imidosiloxane oligomer having a functional group reactive with an epoxy group and an epoxy compound having a photosensitive group, (2) an isocyanate having an unsaturated bond, (3) a photopolymerization initiator, and (4) an organic solvent, an insulating film obtained by curing the same, and a process for production of such an insulating film.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display realizes high resolution without enlarging a frame area of an array substrate in the display. The display connects analog switch pairs each consisting of a p-TFT and an n-TFT to signal lines, respectively. Among the TFTs, those having the same polarity and connected to adjacent signal lines are provided with drain electrodes that are connected to a video bus through a common contact hole. Sharing the contact holes among the TFTs enables the switch pairs to be juxtaposed at fine pixel pitches.

Abstract: A photosensitive polyimidosiloxane composition comprising a polyimidosiloxane comprising 15-80 mole percent of the units, ##STR1## wherein X represents CO, O or a direct bond and R.sub.3 represents an aromatic residue containing a photosensitive group with an unsaturated hydrocarbon group, and 85-20 mole percent of the units, ##STR2## wherein X is as defined above, each R.sub.4 independently represents a divalent hydrocarbon residue, each R.sub.5 independently represents an alkyl group of 1-3 carbon atoms and 1 represents an integer of 3-30, a finely divided inorganic filler, and an organic solvent. The composition provides films having excellent light transmittance.

Abstract: A method of continuous flow analysis is provided which enables a plurality of color-forming components contained in a sample to be simultaneously analyzed with utmost ease. The method involves irradiating the sample with a measuring light which generates a wavelength having absorption bands with respect to such color-forming components, measuring the absorbance of each of the components in a color-formed state while the components are being adjusted stepwise in their color-forming state, and comparing the resultant absorbances of the components with each other. Preferably, a plurality of measuring cells are used to stepwise adjust the sample in its color-forming state, the measuring cells being connected in tandem such that a color former and/or a masking agent are incorporated in the sample while the latter is being caused to successively flow through these cells so that the sample is adjusted in its color-forming state at each of the measuring cells and measured in respect of its absorbances.
