Abstract: To improve communication between tags by causing a mobile object having a RFID tag attached to transmit an interrogating wave only when moving in a communication range to reduce power consumption and prevent occurrence of tag confusion. By acquiring two Doppler signals from 2-frequency transmission waves (CW) with different frequencies and respective reflected waves and detecting phase difference from the Doppler signals, a cargo (21A) is detected to be moving in the communication range (A). Only when the movement is detected, a reader-writer (1A) transmits the interrogating wave (RW).

Abstract: A flat panel display includes a backlight with a plurality of lasing elements. A light distributor distributes light from the lasing elements across the flat panel display. In edge-lit backlights, the light distributor may be a light guide. In direct-lit backlights, the light distributor may be one or more light diffusers that randomize the polarization of light. A polarization enhancement film increases the polarization of light from the light distributor by allowing light of a first polarization to pass through the film and reflecting light that is not of the first polarization back into the backlight. The light reflected back into the backlight is randomly re-polarized within the backlight. An array of light modulators arranged across the flat panel display modulates light emitted by the backlight.
