Patent number: 6827454Abstract: As an imaging prevention method for interfering unauthorized imaging of a number of visual images projected on a screen, there is employed a method for projecting infrared light to a viewer/audience direction from at least one or more infrared light projector devices. According to the method, infrared light may be directly incident into an imaging apparatus of a person conducting an unauthorized copying act so as to adversely affect the unauthorized copying.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2003Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Katsumi Kimura, Shinya Kataoka, Norifumi Zushi, Yuko Kudo

Patent number: 6793353Abstract: As an imaging prevention method for interfering with the unauthorized imaging and recording of a visual image projected on a screen, there is employed a method for projecting infrared light to a viewer/audience direction from at least one or more infrared light projector means disposed at a rear side of the screen. According to the method, an amount of the infrared light is directed to be incident into an imaging apparatus attempting to record an image from the screen, increasing a pirating prevention effect.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2003Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Katsumi Kimura, Shinya Kataoka, Norifumi Zushi, Yuko Kudo

Patent number: 6742901Abstract: As an imaging prevention method for interfering unauthorized imaging of a number of visual images projected on a screen, there is employed a method for projecting infrared light to a viewer/audience direction from at least one or more infrared light projector devices disposed at a rear side of the screen. According to the method, an amount of infrared light is directly incident into an imaging apparatus whereby increasing the prevention effect causes more infrared light to be directly incident into the imaging apparatus of a person conducting the unauthorized act.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2002Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Katsumi Kimura, Shinya Kataoka, Norifumi Zushi, Yuko Kudo

Patent number: 5217849Abstract: A two-layer film carrier for TAB is made from a substrate prepared by forming a copper layer on a polyimide film by additive plating. A photoresist layer is formed on the copper layer, and another photoresist layer on the polyimide film. Both of the photoresist layers are simultaneously exposed to light through a mask applied to each of them to define a desired pattern. The exposed portions of the photoresist layer on the copper layer are subjected to development and postbaking, whereby selected portions of the copper layer are exposed. The exposed portions of the copper layer are additive plated with copper, whereby leads are formed. The exposed portions of the photoresist layer on the polyimide film are subjected to development and postbaking, whereby selected portions of the polyimide film are exposed. The remaining portions of the photoresist layer are removed from the copper layer and the underlying copper layer is etched.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1992Date of Patent: June 8, 1993Assignee: Sumitomo Metal Mining Company LimitedInventors: Takeshi Chonan, Yoshihiro Hirota, Yuko Kudo
