Patents by Inventor Shuntaro Kosugi

Shuntaro Kosugi 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).

  • Publication number: 20110234933
    Abstract: The invention relates to an active matrix liquid crystal display device which uses a switching device to control a pixel, and an object is to provide a liquid crystal display device which has an excellent viewing angle property and high brightness and a fabrication method of the same. A TFT substrate has a structure which reduces the film thickness of a protective insulating film in a control capacitance part in which control capacitance is formed and the film thickness of a protective insulating film in an auxiliary capacitance part in which auxiliary capacitance is formed thinner than the film thickness of a protective insulating film which covers a TFT and the other elements.

  • Publication number: 20100309417
    Abstract: First and second sub-picture element electrodes, a buffer capacitance, and a first to third TFTs are formed in each picture element; the first and second TFTs are driven by a signal supplied to an nth gate bus line; the third TFT is driven by a signal supplied to an (n+1)th gate bus line; the first sub-picture element electrode is connected to the first and third TFTs; the second sub-picture element electrode is connected to the second TFT; a drain electrode of the third TFT is connected to an upper electrode of the buffer capacitance; and a lower electrode of this buffer capacitance is connected to the (n+1)th gate bus line.
