  • Patent number: 7527410
    Abstract: An optical sheet includes a light scattering layer which scatters light made incident from an incident surface to an emission surface side and a plurality of light reflecting portions which reflect light scattered by the light scattering layer to the light scattering layer side. The optical sheet further includes a plurality of light transmitting portions constituted of an air layer for transmitting the scattered light to lenticular sheets. The plurality of the light transmitting portions are arranged along a longitudinal direction so as to form a convex portion with respect to a non-lens surface. Consequently, the light reflecting portions and the light transmitting portions are disposed alternately in stripes along an arrangement direction.

  • Publication number: 20060232859
    Abstract: In order to provide a dual-surface lens sheet in which a color shift is reduced and positions of unit lenses on a front surface and a back surface are easily aligned even if the unit lenses are disposed in fine pitch when used for a rear projection screen which is used for a display device using a plurality of projector as light sources, a half-column-cylindrical-convex-lens is used in a lens sheet having lens sections on front surface and a back surface such that pitch ratio for disposing the unit lenses on the front surface and a back surface such that pitch ratio of 1:2 to 1:30 and disposition directions of the lens sections are uniform.

  • Patent number: 6385088
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device including a plurality of block, each including: a main bit line; a plurality of sub-bit lines to which memory transistors are connected and which are arranged in parallel with respect to the main bit line; and two cascade-connected selection gates which are provided between the main bit line and sub-bit lines and which selectively connect the sub-bit lines.

  • Patent number: 5784325
    Abstract: A semiconductor nonvolatile memory device comprised of bit lines and source lines arranged in a hierarchy of main lines and sub-lines, the main lines and the sub-lines being selectively connected in accordance with the operation of the memory device and memory cells being connected in parallel between the sub-source lines and the sub-bit lines, wherein data is written by introducing electrons from the full channel surface to the charge-storage layer by FN tunneling and is erased by drawing out the electrons in the charge-storing layer from the drain side by FN tunneling. Operation is made possible by a single power source and the area of the cell of the full one transistor memory type is made smaller.

  • Patent number: 4806432
    Abstract: The copper-foiled laminated sheet of the invention is used to prepare a printed circuit sheet having see-throughness after patterning by etching of the copper foil. Different from conventional copper-foiled laminates using an electrolytic copper foil having a surface roughness of 10 or larger, the inventive laminate is prepared using a rolled copper foil having a surface roughness of 1.5 to 5 so that the surface of the adhesive layer, from which the copper foil has been removed by etching, has no undue roughness as a replica of the copper foil surface not to irregularly diffuse the light giving a parallel light-beam transmission of at least 50% and overall light transmission of at least 70% to ensure good see-through visibility.
