  • Publication number: 20070194433
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a first semiconductor device (4) and a second semiconductor device (3) on a mounting substrate. The mounting substrate includes a plurality of mounting substrate lines (201 to 204) which are connected in common with external terminals of a plurality of bits of the first semiconductor device and external terminals of a plurality of bits of the second semiconductor device for every bit. The mounting substrate lines have lengths thereof from the external terminals of the first semiconductor device to the external terminals of the second semiconductor device made unequal for respective bits. Assembling lines (361 to 364) which reach connecting electrodes of a semiconductor chip from the external terminals of the second semiconductor device have made lengths thereof unequal for respective bits. Here, the unequal lengths of the mounting substrate lines have a relationship which offsets the unequal lengths of the assembling lines.

  • Patent number: 6595612
    Abstract: An inkjet printer capable of minimizing chromatic variation due to an ink overlapping (or overlaying) order when printing in a bidirectional mode. Bright color ink dots and dark color ink dots are arranged alternately within the same swath when printing in the bidirectional mode. Plural swaths with different overlapped colors consisting of these dots are arranged alternately in both the main and sub directions to perform overall chromatic averaging.
