  • Publication number: 20150263243
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting body having a first surface, a second surface opposed to the first surface, and a side surface connecting the first surface and the second surface. A first wavelength converter is on the side surface and includes a first material that is excited by a primary light emitted from the light emitting body and emits a secondary light at second wavelength different from a first wavelength of the primary light. A second wavelength converter is on the first surface and includes a second fluorescent material that is excited by the primary light and emits a light at a third wavelength different from the first wavelength and the second wavelength. The second wavelength converter is disposed on the first surface such that the first wavelength converter is not between the second wavelength converter and the first surface.

  • Patent number: 9130147
    Abstract: A vibrating reed includes a base part. A drive vibrating arm, a detection vibrating arm, and an adjustment vibrating arm extend from the base part. A first adjustment electrode and a second adjustment electrode are connected to the adjustment vibrating arm. The first adjustment electrode generates an electrical signal in first phase. The second adjustment electrode generates an electrical signal in second phase opposite to the first phase. The electrical signals of the adjustment electrodes are superimposed on the detection signal of the detection vibrating arm, and thereby, vibration leakage components are cancelled out. The adjustment vibrating arm is partially sandwiched between a first electrode piece and a second electrode piece, and the adjustment vibrating arm is partially sandwiched between a third electrode piece and a fourth electrode piece.
