    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor element includes irradiating a laser beam on a wafer, which includes a sapphire substrate having a first face and a second face opposite the first face and a semiconductor structure disposed on the first face, from a second face side. The laser beam irradiated along a first direction parallel to the second face of the sapphire substrate is focused inside the sapphire substrate to thereby create a modified portion in the sapphire substrate along the first direction. The wafer is severed and separated into a number of semiconductor elements following the formation of a modified portion. In the step of forming a modified portion, the laser beam is focused closer to the second face than to the first face in a thickness direction of the sapphire substrate.

  • Patent number: 11770517
    Abstract: Natural appearance of transition from a predetermined object of two-dimensional content displayed on a two-dimensional display to a three-dimensional display model of an AR display device or vice versa is achieved. Control is performed such that, the transition is performed after switching the two-dimensional content from the motion parallax non-application display to the motion parallax application display. For example, control is performed such that the motion parallax application display is displayed on the two-dimensional display in a case where there is one AR display device, and the motion parallax application display is displayed on the AR display device in a case where there is a plurality of AR display devices.
