Abstract: A sub wiring pattern (21) branches from a first branching portion (20a) of a main wiring pattern (20), and connects to the main wiring pattern (20) at a second branching portion (20b). In a portion of the main wiring pattern (20) from the first branching portion (20a) to the second branching portion (20b), a resistor element (12) and a three-terminal capacitor element (13) are serially connected. The sub wiring pattern (21) is formed so that its path length is larger than a length of a path from the first branching portion (20a) to the second branching portion (20b) in the main wiring pattern (20).

Abstract: A light-emitter with a bank having an upper surface located at a height of h0 with reference to the top surface of the base layer and a circumferential surface facing the aperture in the bank. When h denotes a height of a given point on the circumferential surface with reference to the top surface and x denotes a distance, measured in a direction along the top surface, of the given point from a boundary between the upper and circumferential surface, a second-order derivative of h with respect to x is continuous at a point corresponding to the boundary, h being smaller than h0. An inflection point of the second-order derivative is located at a height of 0.9h0 or greater with reference to the top surface, and a top surface of the functional layer is in contact with the circumferential surface at a contact point near the inflection point.

Abstract: A power conversion device including sub-inverters, each connected in series with respective phase of a three-phase main inverter including a smoothing capacitor, which is fed from a power supply via a converter, as a DC input thereof, and feeds power to a load using the sum of outputs of the inverters. A manipulative quantity is determined so that the DC voltage at each of smoothing capacitors which is an input of each of the sub-inverters will follow a command value. The manipulative quantity is added to an output voltage command for the three-phase main inverter, and is subtracted from an output voltage command for the sub-inverters. Thus, power is shifted from the three-phase main inverter to the smoothing capacitors of the sub-inverters.
