Abstract: Connection terminals are provided on the upper surface of a film substrate. Each terminal comprises an electrodeconnecting part and a circular reinforcing part connected to the distal end of the electrode-connecting part. Connection electrodes are provided at a predetermined pitch P on the lower surface of a semiconductor chip. The side length L of the connection electrodes and the pitch P may be reduced to accomplish fine pitching. In this case, the width T of the connection terminal is decreased to some extent, in consideration of the bonding precision. In spite of this, the reinforcing part of each connection terminal hardly peels from the film substrate if it has a diameter that is equal to the length L of the side of the connection electrode.

Abstract: An ink-jet printer includes a print head for printing a plurality of dots as an image by ejecting ink onto a paper sheet while the paper sheet is moving in a predetermined direction, and a print control section which stores a plurality of dot data assigned to the plurality of dots to designate tones thereof and which drives the print head according to the plurality of dot data. The print control section includes a correction section for correcting a tone of a target dot on the basis of a tone designated by dot data assigned to a dot adjacent to the target dot in the predetermined direction, in a manner so as to compensate for an ink flow due to inertia of semi-dried ink against movement of the paper sheet.

Abstract: A CPU built in a portable telephone (or a PHS terminal), receiving the control signal from a doorway base station, detects the present operation mode. If the present mode is the call enable mode, it is assumed that the user has entered a use inhibit area and the operation mode is changed to any one of the sleep #1 mode and sleep #2 mode previously specified, these two modes belonging to the call inhibit mode. The CPU then performs call incoming control or call originating control. In a case where the present mode is the call inhibit mode when the CPU receives the mode change signal, it is assumed that the user has left the use inhibit area and the operation mode is returned to the standby mode, the call enable mode, and call incoming control and call originating control in the present operation mode are performed.
