Patent number: 7203522Abstract: The folding communication terminal of the present invention is composed of a display device which is visible to the user when the folding communication terminal is in a folded state, and which is capable of multicolor display. The user knows by glancing at the illumination color, without reading characters displayed on the display device and without straining their eyes, whether a caller's telephone number is notified or not. Furthermore, the display is illuminated in a color which is specified and registered in advance in correspondence with the caller's telephone number. The user is thus able to know at a glance who a call is from. Furthermore, the display device is illuminated in a color distinguishing between whether there is notification information which is yet to be displayed or not. The user can judge whether it is necessary to check notification information with a glance at the illumination color.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuji Hama, Tadahiro Emoto, Kenji Kiyota

Patent number: 6735166Abstract: On a data recording region, an aluminum reflective film is formed together with a reflective film forming a pattern on an outer circumferential side of the data recording region. Although aluminum identical to the material of the reflective film on the data recording region can be employed for the reflective film on the outer circumferential region, gold, titanium and the like can also be used. Therefore, an optical disk that has a unique pattern formed at an outer circumferential region that was not conventionally used can be fabricated at a low cost.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2000Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takanari Kusafuka, Reiko Tazawa, Kenji Kiyota, Mitsuhiro Ohtani
