  • Patent number: 10845383
    Abstract: A wafer test system includes a cabinet housing multiple instruments, a test head having multiple pin modules, and cable connecting at least some of the instruments to the pin modules. The cabinet has at least one front door, left and right side panels, a rear door, a ceiling unit, and a bottom unit. Each of the instruments has a front surface, left and right side surfaces, and a rear surface. At least some of the instruments each include at least one first connection terminal. The cabinet further includes a first space defined between the at least one front door and the front surface of each of the instruments, and a second space defined between the rear door and the front surface of each of the instruments. The first space and the second space are separated in the cabinet to separate intake air and exhaust air of the instruments.

  • Patent number: 7569867
    Abstract: A light-emitting device which comprises as one unit a semiconductor light-emitting element; a first liquid for condensing the light from the semiconductor light-emitting element; a second liquid that is separate from but contacts the first liquid; an airtight space in which at least first liquid and second liquid are disposed; and first and second electrodes to which voltage is applied so as to change the shape of the interface between first liquid and second liquid and adjust the condensed state of the light from semiconductor light-emitting element.

  • Patent number: 7513671
    Abstract: A light source having first and second component light sources, a mixing device, and a controller is disclosed. The first component light source generates light having a perceived color that can be varied within a predetermined two-dimensional region of the CIE 1976 color space in response to a set of color control signals. The second component light source generates white light. The mixing device combines light from the first and second component light sources to produce an output light signal having a perceived output color. The controller generates the set of color control signals in response to an input signal from a source external to the light source, the controller maintaining the perceived output color at a point in the CIE 1976 color space determined by the input signal.

  • Patent number: 7285768
    Abstract: A color sensor for measuring light from a light source and the method for fabricating the color sensor. The color sensor includes a plurality of photodetectors, a plurality of primary color filters and a trim filter. Each primary color filter includes a layer of material between the light source and a corresponding one of the photodetectors. Each primary color filter preferentially transmits light in a corresponding band of wavelengths about a characteristic wavelength. The trim filter is located between the light source and the photodetectors and includes a layer of material that preferentially attenuates light at a first trim wavelength between two of the characteristic wavelengths. In one embodiment, the trim filter further preferentially attenuates light at a second trim wavelength, the first wavelength being less than one of the characteristic wavelengths and the second wavelength being greater than that characteristic wavelength.

  • Publication number: 20060044234
    Abstract: A self-emissive display may comprise a plurality of self-emissive pixel elements, a plurality of photosensors, and a control system. The photosensors are interspersed with the pixel elements to measure light that is emitted by the pixel elements. The control system is coupled to the photosensors and the pixel elements to 1) compare the light measurements to one or more spectral references, 2) set drive signal reference values in response to the comparisons, and 3) generate dynamic pixel element drive signals based on the reference values. A method for calibrating spectral content of a self-emissive display comprises causing at least some of a plurality of self-emissive pixel elements to produce light. The light is then measured and compared to one or more spectral references. In response to these comparisons, drive signal reference values are set. Dynamic pixel element drive signals are then generated based on the reference values.
