  • Patent number: 8138663
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light emitting device solving weakness caused by bonding between first and second light emitting elements and a method of manufacturing the same. A chip-shaped first light emitting element and a second light emitting element overlapped each other are disposed on a supporting base. Four island-shaped projections are provided on the top face of the supporting base, and support the second light emitting element. The projections are formed by wet-etching or dry-etching the supporting base, and a pad electrode is provided on the top face of the projection. The pad electrode is electrically connected to the second light emitting element and is also electrically connected to a wire.

  • Patent number: 5739709
    Abstract: A phase frequency detecting circuit is designed to produce an output voltage which varies with respect to an input phase difference between a base phase and a reference phase. Herein, a first phase frequency comparator produces a first phase error signal which is proportional to the input phase difference. A first integration circuit performs integration on the first phase error signal to produce a control voltage. Next, a second phase frequency comparator receives a frequency-divided base phase and a frequency-divided reference phase to produce a second phase error signal. A second integration circuit performs integration on the second phase error signal to produce a frequency-divided control voltage. An offset voltage creating circuit creates an offset voltage. Herein, the offset voltage is created based on the frequency-divided control voltage; and a sign thereof is determined responsive to a relationship between the control voltage and frequency-divided control voltage.
