  • Patent number: 10288998
    Abstract: A mask blank with resist film, includes a substrate having a thin film; and a negative resist film formed on a surface of the thin film, wherein in the resist film, a photoacid generator low-concentration region is formed at a part where the resist film is in contact with the thin film; a concentration of the photoacid generator low-concentration region is lower than that of the other region of the resist film; a thickness of the photoacid generator low-concentration region is 5% to 40% of the thickness of the resist film; and a concentration of the photo acid generator at a part in contact with the thin film in the photoacid generator low-concentration region is a value obtained by decreasing the concentration of the photo acid generator in the other region of the resist film by 10% to 40%.

  • Publication number: 20110221655
    Abstract: A two-image display apparatus includes: a display panel in which each sub-pixel for displaying a first image and each sub-pixel for displaying a second image are placed alternately at positions adjacent to each other; and a light shielding barrier having apertures for allowing the first and second images displayed in a first visual recognition direction and a second visual recognition direction respectively to be distinguished from each other, wherein the center of each of the apertures is shifted from the center between two-image areas allocated to two the adjacent sub-pixels respectively toward the side of the second visual recognition direction, and there is also provided a correction light shielding section configured to narrow an image area allocated on the side of the first visual recognition direction to serve as the image area provided for one of the adjacent sub-pixels.

  • Publication number: 20080231547
    Abstract: A dual image display device 1 according to an embodiment of the invention includes a crosstalk corrector 6 that corrects the grayscale of a sub pixel subject to correction based on the grayscale of an adjacent sub pixel. The crosstalk corrector 6 carries out corrections in K grayscale for N1 frames and corrections in K+1 grayscale for N?N1 frames within N frames where K being an integer, N being a positive integer of 2 or more, and N1 being a positive integer of less than N. Provided with the above-described configuration, the problem in that a dual image in which sub pixels of individual images for two visual directions are adjacent to each other in a gate line direction is liable to cause flicker in the gate line direction can be eliminated by an apparent crosstalk correction of less than one grayscale.

  • Patent number: 5138199
    Abstract: A level conversion circuit includes a level converter and a buffer gate circuit. A level converter includes two pairs of P-channel MOS transistors. A first input signal is supplied to one of the pair of P-channel MOS transistors and a second input signal is supplied to one of the other pair of P-channel MOS transistors. Each of the first and second input signals are complementary ECL-level signals. The buffer gate circuit includes two BiCMOS circuits. A first output signal from one of the pairs of P-channel MOS transistors is supplied to a gate of an N-channel MOS transistor provided in one of the BiCMOS circuits. A second output signal from the other pair of P-channel MOS transistors is supplied to a gate of an N-channel MOS transistor provided in the other BiCMOS circuit. The first input signal is supplied directly to a gate of a P-channel MOS transistor provided in one the BiCMOS circuits.

  • Patent number: 5096659
    Abstract: A reactor containment vessel comprises typically a reactor pressure vessel housed in a dry well of the reactor containment vessel, a vent passage through which steam in the dry well is introduced into coolant accommodated in a pressure suppression chamber of the reactor containment vessel, a closed space formed at a position lower than the level of the normal liquid surface of the coolant, a first passage having an inlet opened into the pressure suppression chamber at a level higher than that of the normal liquid surface of the coolant and an outlet opened into the closed space, and a second passage communicating between the closed space and the dry well through a counter flow preventing arrangement for checking the flow directed toward the closed space, and therefore, noncondensable gas and liquid accumulated in the pressure suppression chamber are discharged into the dry well the pressure in which is higher than that in the pressure suppression chamber by making use of a difference in water head increased d
