Patent number: 8342719Abstract: In an LED light bulb, an LED module and a lens are disposed on a fixing stage provided to a housing. The lens has a concave portion at its top end. The concave portion forms a reflecting surface which reflects part of outgoing light from the LED module to (i) first directions perpendicular to a front emission direction of the outgoing light or (ii) second directions leaning to a cap beyond the first directions. Due to diffusion effect of an optical cover, part of the light reflected by the lens is emitted backward (toward the cap). This realizes an LED light bulb that distributes light over an entire circumference and has high output as well as high light output ratio.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Motoki Takase, Masako Horiyama, Junichi Somei, Yuji Kozuma

Patent number: 7932957Abstract: A receiver apparatus 3 has a digital circuit portion 13 that converts a compressed digital signal outputted from a digital demodulating portion 12 into digital video and audio signals and a video/audio output circuit 14 that converts the digital video and audio signals outputted from the digital circuit portion 13 into analog video and audio signals. With this configuration, a video/audio processing IC for digital signal processing no longer needs to be mounted on the circuit board of a video display apparatus 4, and thus a receiver system can be realized with a video display apparatus having a simple configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2006Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hitoshi Azuma, Tsutomu Jitsuhara, Miyoshi Yamauchi, Toyomi Yonemaru, Hitoshi Ogino, Akio Ito, Junichi Somei, Akira Tokuda, Youichi Yuuki
