  • Patent number: 9147817
    Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting element formed of a semiconductor layer includes a multilayer reflecting mirror, a light-emitting layer, a resonator, and a phase shift layer. The multilayer reflecting mirror is formed on a substrate. The light-emitting layer is formed on the multilayer reflecting mirror. The resonator uses the multilayer reflecting mirror as a lower reflecting mirror and resonates light emitted from the light-emitting layer. The phase shift layer shifts a phase of a resonance spectrum of the resonator to generate a standing wave having plural principal modes.

  • Patent number: 7195148
    Abstract: A card printer in a card information management system. The card printer has a data input part for inputting data acquired by a user. The data is character information of a character generated by a program stored in a predetermined apparatus according to predetermined operations of a user. The card printer has a user ID input part for inputting an ID of the user. The data inputted from the data input part is converted into print information by a print information generation part. Approval information of the supplier of the card is generated by an approval information generation part. This print information and the approval information are printed on a card by a print part through an image processing part and a print control part. The user can obtain the card to which the approval information is added on demand.

  • Patent number: 6839524
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus can form an image of a high-precision security information for anti-reproduction. A photosensitive material-coated area in a recording paper is exposed with an exposure unit to form an image of a high-precision security information. Since the image of the security information is thus formed by exposing the photosensitive material, it can be formed as an image incapable of reproduction.
