  • Publication number: 20190122615
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit and corresponding display panel and electronic apparatus. A pixel element includes a self-luminous element and a drive transistor connected to a power supply line. In an emission period of the self-luminous element, an active voltage and an intermediate voltage are sequentially applied between the power supply line and a potential line with a pulse-shaped waveform such that a predetermined luminance duration is obtained in the emission period. In a non-emission period of the self-luminous element, an off-state voltage is applied between the power supply line and the potential line so as to maintain the self-luminous element in a non-emission state.

  • Publication number: 20190075379
    Abstract: In the case of a OXC device having a route & select-type configuration of the conventional technique, when the port number is 20, then the entire device requires 120 WSSs having a 1×9 configuration. In the case of a route & select-type OXC device having ports more than 20 ports, a large amount of expensive WSSs is required. Thus, such a device is impractical from the viewpoint of cost. Thus, the expansion depending on an increase of traffic at nodes was impossible, flexible scalability could not be provided, and a reasonable network operation from the viewpoint of economy was difficult. According to the OXC device of this disclosure, regardless of the input port number and the output port number of the device, WSSs having a smaller scale than the conventional technique are used and the WSSs are internally-connected from a viewpoint different from that of the conventional technique, thus providing the device having a significantly-reduced cost.

  • Publication number: 20190028785
    Abstract: A wavelength routing SW is a large-scale optical switch device of a conventional technique, and it requires as many wavelength-tunable light sources as the number of input ports. For the wavelength-tunable light sources to achieve a stable oscillating operation across a wide wavelength range, a complicated control mechanism is necessary. This has been an obstacle in providing a large-scale optical switch device in terms of cost and circuit scale. A wavelength routing SW in the present disclosure includes N wavelength group generators, a splitting-selection unit, and MN tunable filters. Each wavelength group generator includes M fixed-wavelength light sources. Inexpensive general-purpose devices that require no control mechanism for wavelength tuning can be used as the fixed-wavelength light source. The channel loss in the optical switch device can also be reduced by using light sources with a limited narrow range of tunable wavelengths and the wavelength-dependent output port selecting function of an AWG.

  • Patent number: 10138123
    Abstract: In the production of hydrogen peroxide, when ketone forms are increased upon conversion from higher alcohol components in organic solvents, such increased levels of ketone forms reduce the water content in a working solution and lead to deterioration of catalytic activity. Moreover, increased levels of ketone forms reduce the solubility of anthrahydroquinone compounds and may cause an obstacle to stable and safe operation in the production of hydrogen peroxide due to crystallization and deposition of the anthrahydroquinone compounds. The object of the present invention is to provide a process in which polar solvent-derived altered substances (ketone forms) in a working solution provided for use in the production of hydrogen peroxide via the anthraquinone process are regenerated into the original alcohol components to thereby improve the production efficiency of hydrogen peroxide.
