Abstract: A fabrication method of a semiconductor luminescent device includes forming a compound semiconductor layer having a structure in which a first conductivity-type clad layer, an active layer, a second conductivity-type clad layer are layered in order on a substrate, the second conductivity-type being different from the first conductivity-type and forming a low-refractive-index region in a waveguide in an area to be an end face from which an output light from the waveguide in the compound semiconductor layer is emitted, the low-refractive-index region having an equivalent refractive-index lower than that of another area in the waveguide. The step of forming the low-refractive-index region includes determining a width of the low-refractive-index region in a longitudinal direction of the waveguide so that an emission angle of the output light of the semiconductor luminescent device is controlled to be a desirable value, and forming the low-refractive-index region having the width.

In this mobile device, when a switching instruction is received from an operation part, a URL being a communication destination communicated with the first browser for communication is stored in a URL storage part. An application management part controls the second browser such that the second browser performs communication connection to the URL based on the stored URL.

Abstract: A communication apparatus and display method are capable of displaying one frame of a plurality of frames, and displaying automatically an appropriate frame for a user in the case that there are changes in display contents. A display part displays screen data while enlarging a frame which is specified by the user and is included in Web data including a plurality of frames received by a data communicating part. While the screen data of the frame specified by the user is displayed, a frame configuration management part judges that changes took place in display contents of other frames that are not displayed. A data processing part performs data processing so as to cause all frames included in the received Web data to be displayed on the display part when it is judged that the changes took place in the display contents.
