Patents by Inventor Osamu Iketa

Osamu Iketa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patterning method and methods for producing electro-optic device, color filter, illuminant, and thin-film transistor
    Patent number: 7604928
    Abstract: A patterning method forms a pattern including a lyophilic region and a lyophobic region. The method includes treating the surface of an object by exposing an atmosphere containing at least one gas selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, deuterated hydrogen, and tritium; partially exposing the treated surface to light to form an exposed region and an unexposed region; and applying a liquid onto one of the exposed region and the unexposed region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 4, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2009
    Assignee: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha
    Inventors: Osamu Iketa, Nobuo Kawase, Keishi Saito, Takeo Ono
  • Display apparatus and method of controlling display apparatus
    Patent number: 7250942
    Abstract: A display apparatus of the invention which detects an obstacle put on a display unit, and modifies a place or manner of a display to be performed, comprising the display unit having a display surface; a detecting unit for detecting a display-obstructed area on the display surface where a display-obstructing factor is present; a shifting unit for shifting the area of displayed contents to a displayable area other than the display-obstructed area, when the display-obstructed area is detected; and a display control unit for displaying the displayed contents shifted by the shifting unit in the area other than the display-obstructed area.

  • Semiconductor device and liquid jet apparatus using the same
    Patent number: 6822289
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a high source breakdown voltage and high performance and high reliability and a liquid jet apparatus are provided. In a semiconductor device having a switching element for flowing current through a load and a circuit for driving the switching element, respectively formed on the same substrate, the circuit has a source follower transistor for generating a drive voltage to be applied to a control electrode of the switching element, and the source region of the source follower transistor has a first doped region connected to the source electrode and a second doped region having an impurity concentration lower than that of the first doped region, the second doped region forming a pn junction with a semiconductor region forming a channel.
