  • Patent number: 11977048
    Abstract: A smell sensor includes an ion sensor having a sensitive film, a substance adsorption film disposed on the sensitive film and configured to adsorb a smell substance to be detected, and an electrode configured to apply a reference voltage to the substance adsorption film. The substance adsorption film is in a state of releasing a proton in response to absorbing the smell substance.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220260519
    Abstract: A smell detection device includes an ion sensor having a sensitive film and outputting an output signal in accordance with a potential change of the sensitive film, a substance adsorption film disposed on the sensitive film and changing its state by adsorbing a smell substance to be detected to cause the potential change of the sensitive film, and an adjuster acquiring the output signal of the ion sensor and adjusting a drive signal for driving the ion sensor to reduce an offset from a predetermined reference value in the output signal.

  • Patent number: 11258976
    Abstract: A pixel circuit includes a differential amplifier. The differential amplifier includes a non-inverting input terminal, an inverting input terminal, and an output terminal. The differential amplifier includes an input differential pair including first and second NMOS transistors, a current mirror pair including PMOS transistors, and a constant current source including a fifth NMOS transistor. A threshold voltage of each of the first and second NMOS transistors is higher than a threshold voltage of the fifth NMOS transistor. Further, the threshold voltage of each of the first and second NMOS transistors is higher than a threshold voltage of another NMOS transistor.
