Abstract: This piezoelectric wafer has: a piezoelectric vibration piece; a frame portion that supports the piezoelectric vibration piece; and a coupling portion that couples the piezoelectric vibration piece to the frame portion. A pair of first and second metal bumps is formed in juxtaposition on the piezoelectric vibration piece. The coupling portion has slits extending in its width direction except in a bridge, i.e., a part of the coupling portion in its width direction. An end in the width direction of the bridge is distantly spaced from the first and second metal bumps both in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the coupling portion with no overlap with these metal bumps.

Abstract: This piezoelectric wafer has: a piezoelectric vibration piece; a frame portion that supports the piezoelectric vibration piece; and a coupling portion that couples the piezoelectric vibration piece to the frame portion. The piezoelectric vibration piece is broken off at the coupling portion and separated from the piezoelectric wafer. On front and back surfaces of the coupling portion, grooved slits extending along a width direction of the coupling portion are formed except for parts of the coupling portion in the width direction. An electrode on at least one of front and back surfaces of the piezoelectric vibration piece is extracted to a frame-portion side of the piezoelectric wafer by way of the part of the coupling portion in the width direction.

Abstract: A lead type piezoelectric resonator device includes a piezoelectric resonator plate and a lead terminal that supports the piezoelectric resonator plate. The piezoelectric resonator plate is provided with a terminal electrode that is electrically connected to the lead terminal, and the lead terminal is provided with a bonding layer that is electrically connected to the piezoelectric resonator plate. The piezoelectric resonator plate and the lead terminal are electromechanically bonded to each other by the terminal electrode and the bonding layer. A bonding material containing an Sn—Cu alloy is produced from the terminal electrode and the bonding layer by the bonding of the terminal electrode and the bonding layer.

Abstract: A piezoelectric resonator device in which excitation electrodes of a piezoelectric resonator plate are hermetically sealed, includes a plurality of sealing members that hermetically seal the excitation electrodes of the piezoelectric resonator plate. The plurality of sealing members each have a bonding layer, and at least one of the plurality of sealing members is provided with a bank portion and having the bonding layer formed on a top face of the bank portion. The plurality of sealing members are bonded together with the bonding layers of the sealing members, and a bonding material that contains an intermetallic compound is formed.

Abstract: An image processing method and apparatus for converting image data for use in a color CRT and an image processing device each having a different color reproducible range, for example, a color printer. Color component data of color image data corresponding to a most parts of a color reproducible range of the color printer having a color reproducible region which is narrower than that of the color CTR is not converted. The hue and the brightness of color component data of color image data exceeding the color reproducible range of the color printer are not substantially converted but only chromaticness is converted. A part deviated from the color reproducible range can be approximated to the outer periphery of the reproducible range. Furthermore, the most part of the color reproducible range is correctly color-reproduced and the color image is converted so as to make a portion of the same to be a compressed space of an all color space.
