  • Patent number: 8659707
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a television receiver apparatus capable of operating with a battery, includes a receiver, a first switching module, a second switching module, and a power supply controller. The receiver is configured to receive first and second mode signals. The first switching module is configured to turn on/off a battery operation mode according to the first mode signal received by the receiver. The second switching module is configured to turn on/off a power saving mode according to the second mode signal received by the receiver. The power supply controller is configured to control power supply according to the modes set by the first and second switching modules.

  • Patent number: 7839458
    Abstract: A first electrode of a liquid crystal cell (21) is composed of a plurality of concentric electrodes (31 to 34) of a concentrically circular shape, the plurality of concentric electrodes are divided into a first group of concentric electrodes (44) near the center and a second group of concentric electrodes (45) near the periphery, and a concentric electrode between the two groups is an independent single electrode (36). A first correction unit that corrects spherical aberration of a high density DVD is composed of the two groups and a second correction unit that corrects aberration of a conventional DVD is composed of the first group of concentric electrodes (44). In the case of correcting the aberration of the conventional DVD, the independent concentric electrode (36) is supplied with a voltage between the voltages respectively supplied to adjacent concentric electrodes (35), (37).

  • Patent number: 5739588
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device comprising an IC chip (8) mounted on a circuit substrate (7) and sealed with a molding resin (11), corner resist films (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) are formed at positions corresponding to a corner A of the IC chip (8) on the circuit substrate (7), and the corner A of the IC chip (8) is bonded to these corner resist films by using a die bond (9). A die pattern (3a) is exposed outside the corner resist films, and a power supply pattern (3b) is so formed to encompass their periphery. The power supply terminal, the die pattern (3a) and the power supply pattern (3b) are connected to the IC chip (8) of the corners of the IC chip is improved and peel is prevented. Furthermore, bonding of a large number of bonding wires for supplying power can be freely made.
