  • Image display
    Patent number: 8308237
    Abstract: An image display device comprising a plurality of seats arranged at least in a front-to-back direction, each of the seats having a backrest of a variable angle, an image display panel installed on the back of each seat, an angle sensing unit for detecting an angle of the backrest of the seat, a tilt angle calculating unit for calculating a tilt angle of the image display panel based on an output data of the angle sensing unit related to each of two adjoining seats in the front-to-back direction, and a tilt controller unit for controlling the tilt angle of the image display panel according to an output data of the tilt angle calculating unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Semiconductor device for protecting a circuit formed on a semiconductor chip from destruction caused by an electrostatic discharge
    Patent number: 7564101
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a Zener diode connected between an outside terminal and ground, and a resistor connected to the Zener diode in series. The Zener diode and the resistor divide a noise voltage, so that the semiconductor device can have the high noise tolerance even if it uses the small Zener diode.
