  • Publication number: 20240110308
    Abstract: Provided are a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide single crystal, which can suppress conversion of threading edge dislocations into prismatic plane dislocations and conversion of the prismatic plane dislocations into basal plane dislocations; and a silicon carbide single crystal ingot and a silicon carbide wafer, in which conversion from threading edge dislocations into prismatic plane dislocations and conversion from the prismatic plane dislocations into basal plane dislocations have been suppressed. A silicon carbide single crystal is grown on the surface of a seed substrate by a gas method so that a temperature gradient in the radial direction of the seed substrate takes a predetermined value or lower during the growth.

  • Publication number: 20240110309
    Abstract: Provided are a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide single crystal, and a silicon carbide single crystal ingot which ensure a high crystal growth rate and increase the ratio of conversion from basal plane dislocations to threading edge dislocations. The method prepares a seed substrate composed of silicon carbide having an off-angle in a [1-100] direction with respect to a {0001} plane; and grows a silicon carbide single crystal layer on the seed substrate by an HTCVD method, thereby converting basal plane dislocations contained in the seed substrate to threading edge dislocations during crystal growth.

  • Patent number: 11703687
    Abstract: A head-up display device includes: light sources; a light source driver that drives the light sources; a second control unit that illuminates the light sources via the light source driver on the basis of illumination control data; and a DMD display element that generates display light on the basis of illumination light emitted by the light sources. The illumination control data includes control modes for generating the illumination light brightness corresponding to a requested brightness. The control modes have differing brightness ranges, which partially overlap each other. The second control unit switches modes between the control modes when the requested brightness has reached a mode switching value, which is located in a non-end part of an overlapping region where one of the brightness ranges of one of the control modes and another one of the brightness ranges of another one of the control modes overlap.

  • Patent number: 11688355
    Abstract: A lighting control data generation method for generating lighting control data for controlling light sources in a HUD device includes: a measurement point specifying step for specifying measurement points in accordance with the brightness of light from a light source at each of output levels set to different values by a light source control unit which controls the light source with reference to lighting control data; and an output characteristic acquisition step for acquiring output characteristics by performing interpolation between the specified measurement points, wherein in the measurement point specification step, measurement points of a first specific point number are specified in a high-brightness mode in which the required brightness exceeds a threshold value, and measurement points of a second specific point number larger than the first specific point number are specified in a low-brightness mode in which the required brightness is the threshold value or low.

  • Publication number: 20070210468
    Abstract: Mask sheets, a cleaning sheet and rubbery cleaning resin bars are disposed on a lower mold of a molding die and thereafter the molding die is clamped, allowing the interior of a cavity to be filled with cleaning resin to clean the molding die, whereby even portions into which resin is difficult to enter with only the injection pressure from pots can be filled with the cleaning resin. Consequently, cleaning of the molding die can be effected without being influenced by the resin injection pressure in transfer molding and it is possible to improve the cleanability of the molding die.
