  • Patent number: 11929589
    Abstract: A light-emitting component includes: a substrate; plural light-emitting elements that are disposed on the substrate and that emit light in a direction intersecting with a surface of the substrate; and plural thyristors that are stacked on the plural light-emitting elements and that are turned ON to drive the corresponding light-emitting elements so that the light-emitting elements emit light or an amount of light emitted from the light-emitting elements is increased. Each of the plural light-emitting elements includes a current confinement region which is oxidized via a hole provided in a multilayer structure.

  • Patent number: 11216405
    Abstract: An electronic device includes plural modules; a return factor detection unit that detects a return factor causing return from an energy-saving state; and a return controller that causes the plural modules to start return processing upon detection of the return factor by the return factor detection unit. The plural modules include a first module and a second module that are connected by using a high-speed serial interface that needs preprocessing for establishment of connection without software, and the second module, which performs return processing upon receipt of a trigger of return from an energy-saving state through the first module, starts the preprocessing for establishment of connection using the high-speed serial interface in parallel with return processing of the first module.
