Patent number: 7542783Abstract: A cellular phone has a black-and-white LCD that displays characters and communication information and a color LCD that displays an image. The image and the characters are displayed on the separate LCDs. Thus, the characters are not superimposed on the image, and they are easy to see. When the image is not needed (the user is not using the phone or the user is talking on the phone), only the black-and-white LCD displays the characters and the color LCD is turned off to save energy.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Ohmura, Ko Aosaki, Hiroyuki Uchiyama, Seiji Takada, Hiroshi Soma, Chiaki Fujii, Seimei Ushiro

Patent number: 7440671Abstract: Materials transparent to terahertz waves are very limited, and it is difficult to obtain the required performance by selecting the material. Further, it is also difficult to search for a novel material. Therefore, by letting a known material transparent to terahertz waves have a photonic crystal structure and controlling the structure, an optical waveguide having the required properties is provided. An optical waveguide for propagation of far-infrared radiation in the terahertz region, which optical waveguide is made of a fluorinated amorphous polymer. Particularly preferred is a polymer having a fluorinated aliphatic ring structure in its main chain, obtained by cyclopolymerization of a fluorinated monomer having at least two polymerizable double bonds.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2007Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Asahi Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Nobuhiko Sarukura, Ko Aosaki, Hideki Sato, Yoshihiko Sakane

Patent number: 7385625Abstract: A liquid crystal display unit has a transmissive liquid crystal plate having a number of pixels arranged on a two-dimensional basis, on which an image is formed, and a light source unit emitting beams of light of a plurality of luminescent colors for irradiating said liquid crystal plate from back. An interface circuit receives an image signal representative of a color image to sequentially form on said liquid crystal plate a plurality of separation images in which the color image is separated in association with the plurality of luminescent colors of said light source unit. The interface circuit causes said light source unit to flash with a luminescent color associated with a separation image formed on said liquid crystal plate in synchronism with a sequential formation of the separation images onto said liquid crystal plate. Beams of light emanated from the light source unit and transmitted through the liquid crystal plate reproduce an image.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Ohmura, Masashi Takamura, Hiroshi Komatsuzaki, Ko Aosaki, Akihiko Funaki, Jin Murayama

Patent number: 7239416Abstract: A cellular phone is connected to a portable printer which uses an instant print film through connectors, and the printer prints an image according to image data stored in the cellular phone. The cellular phone can display the image to be printed on its LCD. The user can input information for the printing with push buttons of the cellular phone, and display the information on the LCD. Thus, the portable printer does not need an LCD and push buttons, and therefore the printer is small, light and inexpensive.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2001Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Ohmura, Ko Aosaki, Hiroyuki Uchiyama, Seiji Takada, Hiroshi Soma, Chiaki Fujii, Seimei Ushiro

Patent number: 7116355Abstract: Printing light beams from a printing head that is driven based on image data are used for recording a latent image in a predetermined exposure area on an instant film. The instant film is exposed through an exposure opening formed through a case of a film pack. The printing head projects the printing light beams linearly along a main scan direction while moving in a sub scan direction perpendicular to the main scan direction. An illumination range of the printing light beams is determined to be wider than the exposure area in the main and sub scan directions, in consideration of clearances between the case and the instant film. So the entire exposure area is exposed even where the instant film deviates inside the case. A light-shielding housing for covering up a moving range of the printing head in a light-tight fashion is formed integrally with a pack loading chamber for loading the film pack.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1999Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Omura, Yasuhiro Nishitani, Ko Aosaki, Yoshio Sugano
