  • Patent number: 7495734
    Abstract: An in-plane-switching liquid crystal display unit has a two-dimensional matrix of pixel regions each including a first auxiliary region and a second auxiliary region. When no electric field is applied, liquid crystal molecules in the first and second auxiliary regions are directed in respective orientations that lie at 90° with respect to each other. When a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are rotated in the same direction while maintaining their orientations in the first and second auxiliary regions at 90° with respect to each other. Alternatively, the liquid crystal molecules in the first and second auxiliary regions are directed in the same orientation when no electric field is applied, and when a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are rotated 15 opposite directions while maintaining their orientations in symmetric relationship.

  • Publication number: 20090001604
    Abstract: An oxide layer and a metal layer composed of a gold- or platinum-group metal are formed in the stated order on a substrate. A wiring body having a wiring layer, insulating layer, via, and electrode is formed on the metal layer. A semiconductor element is then connected as a flip chip via solder balls on the wiring body electrode, and underfill is introduced between the semiconductor element and the wiring body. Subsequently, a sealing resin layer is formed so as to cover the semiconductor element and the surface of the wiring body on which the semiconductor element is mounted, thus producing a semiconductor package. A high-density, detailed, thin semiconductor package can thereby be realized.

  • Publication number: 20080303136
    Abstract: A transparent board is positioned on a support board provided with a positioning mark, and a release material is provided. A semiconductor element is then positioned so that the electrode element faces upward, and the support board is then removed. An insulating resin is then formed on the release material so as to cover the semiconductor element; and a via, a wiring layer, an insulation layer, an external terminal, and a solder resist are then formed. The transparent board is then peeled from the semiconductor device through the use of the release material. A chip can thereby be mounted with high precision, there is no need to provide a positioning mark during mounting of the chip on the substrate in the manufacturing process, and the substrate can easily be removed. As a result, a semiconductor device having high density and a thin profile can be manufactured at low cost.

  • Publication number: 20060283629
    Abstract: A wiring board for mounting a semiconductor element or electronic component having a plurality of wiring layers, an insulating layer provided between these wiring layers, and a via which is provided to the insulating layer and which electrically connects the wiring layers. In this wiring board, the cross-sectional shape of the via in the plane parallel to the wiring layers is obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes (circles). Stable operation can be obtained in a semiconductor element by minimizing obstacles to increased density, effectively increasing the cross-sectional area of the via, and preventing the wiring resistance from increasing by making the cross-sectional shape of the via into a shape obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes.
