  • Publication number: 20070228508
    Abstract: An integrated-circuit chip includes a first electrical connection are placed on an underlying layer and covered with an intermediate dielectric layer. A second electrical connection is placed on the intermediate dielectric layer and is covered with a superficial dielectric layer. External electrical connection pads are placed on the superficial dielectric layer and extend selectively over the first electrical connection. Vias pass through the superficial dielectric layer and the intermediate dielectric layer to make connection between the first electrical connection and the external electrical connection pads.

  • Publication number: 20070132095
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip has a dielectric surface layer and, below this layer, internal pads. The chip is fabricated by producing multiplicities of vias made of an electrically conducting material which pass through said surface layer and are positioned respectively above the internal pads. Projecting external contact pads are formed on the surface layer and connected respectively to the multiplicities of vias.

  • Patent number: 7173640
    Abstract: A method for displaying an image on an array screen by activation of screen pixels arranged in rows and columns, each pixel of a same row corresponding to a memory point of a same memory row, the memory point being set to an activation state when the corresponding pixel is to be activated, including the steps of identifying, among sets of the memory rows, the row sets for which at least one memory point of a row of the set is at the activation state; and successively selecting the only lines corresponding to the rows of the sets of rows identified for the pixel activation. The present invention also provides a device for displaying an image on an array screen.

  • Patent number: 6952242
    Abstract: A control signal for controlling a correction circuit for at least one electron beam that scans a screen line by line, the amplitude of which varies along each line according to a curve of a first type determined by line parameters, each of the line parameters varying, from one line to another, according to a curve of the first type determined by column parameters.

  • Publication number: 20050035933
    Abstract: A method for regulating the biasing voltage of column control circuits of an array screen formed of LEDs distributed in lines and columns, the column control circuits being adapted to turning on at least one LED of a line. The method consists of increasing the biasing voltage when the current flowing through at least one activated LED is smaller than a determined luminance current and of decreasing the biasing voltage when the current flowing through each activated LED is equal to the determined luminance current.

  • Publication number: 20040104865
    Abstract: For the coding of information for defining a determined window in a video image, a coding pulse is transmitted in a first of the R,G,B video signals sent to a cathode ray tube monitor. The coding pulse is transmitted within at least one time window associated with a determined frame line, and has a temporal width which corresponds to the width of the window in the video image.

  • Publication number: 20040021654
    Abstract: A method and circuit for displaying an image by activation of pixels of an array screen based on an image stored in digital form in memory point rows of a frame memory, having a stand-by mode that provides, at a frequency proportional to the display frequency, a cyclic succession of offset values; and for each row address of the frame memory, activating pixels of a screen line associated with said address offset by a same offset value based on the read states of the row associated with the address, and/or activating pixels of a screen line associated with the row address based on the read states of the frame memory row associated with the address offset by a same offset value.
