  • Publication number: 20110297974
    Abstract: An illumination assembly is provided which is capable of correcting a color temperature. The assembly includes a substrate with a plurality of coatings applied on a respective plurality of surface portions of a base material. A light emitting device includes one or more light emitting elements of a first color temperature mounted on surface portions of the substrate having a first color coating, and one or more light emitting elements having a second color temperature mounted on surface portions of the substrate having a second color coating. Light emitting elements are individually sealed with a resin containing an excitable phosphor, with a reflectance factor of the first color coating and a reflectance factor of the second color coating set corresponding to light emitted from the light emitting elements having the first and second color temperatures, respectively, with respect to a desired color temperature for the light emitting device.

  • Publication number: 20100001297
    Abstract: An illumination assembly is provided which is capable of correcting a color temperature. The assembly generally comprises a substrate and a light emitting device mounted on the substrate that further comprises a light emitting element and a resin containing a phosphor excitable by light emitted from the light emitting element. A reflectance factor of the substrate may be set corresponding to light emitted from the light emitting device, such that the light emitted by the light emitting device complies with a desired light emission for the illumination assembly. A translucent filling resin or translucent coating resin may further be applied on the light emitting device and the substrate, the translucent resin having a refractive index and correspondingly operable to suppress variations in color temperature.

  • Patent number: 4824309
    Abstract: A vacuum processing unit and apparatus comprises a buffer chamber that can be evacuated, a processing chamber that can be communicated with said buffer chamber a first sample carrier installed in said buffer chamber, a vacuum opening/closing device provided in the buffer chamber to correspond to the first sample carrier, a vacuum prechamber provided for the buffer chamber via the vacuum opening/closing device, a second sample carrier which carries the sample between the vacuum prechamber and the first sample carrier via the vacuum opening/closing device, and a third sample carrier which carries the sample between said first sample carrier and the processing chamber. The vacuum processing units can be connected in groups via vacuum opening/closing devices provided for the buffer chambers in locations corresponding to the end of the first sample carriers therein. The number of connected processing chambers can be freely changed to meet a change in the process or the manufacturing line.

  • Patent number: 4274004
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ion implanter which is so constructed that specimens placed in the specimen chamber are caused to move so that ions supplied from an ion source are homogeneously implanted into the surfaces of the specimens, wherein said specimen chamber is so constructed that the whole mechanism which transmits the motion for moving the specimens is surrounded by space which is different from space which includes the specimens.
