Patent number: 10868043Abstract: A first oxide semiconductor layer of a pixel TFT has a first structure in which a first source electrode and a first drain electrode have, at both end portions thereof, two types of reduction action regions formed by the first oxide semiconductor layer protruding outward in a channel width direction of a first channel portion from both the first source electrode and the first drain electrode. A second oxide semiconductor layer of a drive circuit TFT has a second structure formed without protruding outward in a channel width direction of a second channel portion from a second source electrode and a second drain electrode. A protective insulation film is provided to cover the first oxide semiconductor layer, the first source electrode, and the first drain electrode.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Akihiko Hosono, Kazunori Inoue

Patent number: 10656482Abstract: A channel layer is formed of an oxide semiconductor. A first insulating film is provided on the channel layer, a source line, and a drain electrode, and includes a drain contact hole which reaches the drain electrode. A pixel electrode is provided on the first insulating film, includes a connection conductive layer which is connected to the drain electrode by the drain contact hole, and is formed of a transparent conductive material. The pixel electrode is covered with a second insulating film. A common electrode is provided on the second insulating film, includes an opening which faces the pixel electrode in a thickness direction, and is formed of a transparent conductive material. A metal layer, in conjunction with a part of the common electrode, forms a laminated structure, and includes a light-shield part which overlaps the channel layer at least partially in plan view.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Shinji Kawabuchi, Naruhito Hoka, Kazushi Yamayoshi, Akihiko Hosono, Kenichi Miyamoto

Patent number: 7537505Abstract: To provide a method of manufacturing a field emission display having an improved electron emission effect by means of laser irradiation and accordingly mitigating a luminance fluctuation among pixels, and other such techniques. Provided is a method of manufacturing a field emission display which includes a cathode substrate and a fluorescent screen glass opposed to the cathode substrate and emits light when an electron emitted from a carbon nanotube printed layer (7) containing a carbon nanotube of the cathode electrode enters a fluorescent material of the fluorescent screen glass, the method including a laser beam irradiation step of irradiating a surface of the carbon nanotube printed layer (7) with a laser beam having its energy density to be spatially modulated to expose and raise the carbon nanotube of the carbon nanotube printed layer so as to form a laser irradiation part (B) and a non-laser irradiation part (C).Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2005Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tetsuya Shiroishi, Akihiko Hosono, Shuhei Nakata, Yoshihito Imai, Takaaki Iwata

Patent number: 6673304Abstract: In a heat-treatment apparatus for heat-treating a V-type cylinder block (W) by induction heating, the block (W) is fixedly mounted on a work table (11) and set at a reference position thereon. A plurality of induction heating coils (23) are disposed in each of opposite sides of a base frame (10) of the work table (11) through Z tables (21), Y tables (18) and X tables (13). These tables (13, 18, 21) enable the heating coils (23) to enter and exit from the corresponding cylinder bores (Wn) of the block (W) in a direction in parallel with a longitudinal direction of the cylinder bores (Wn). The Z table (21) moves back and forth in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the cylinder bores (wn). The Y table moves back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the rows of the cylinder bores (Wn). The X table (13) moves back and forth in parallel with the rows of cylinder bores (Wn).Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignees: Neturen Co., Ltd., Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Daiji Ito, Shin Okumura, Akihiko Hosono, Kazuki Horita
