  • Patent number: 10998288
    Abstract: A non-leaded semiconductor device comprises a sealing body for sealing a semiconductor chip, a tab in the interior of the sealing body, suspension leads for supporting the tab, leads having respective surfaces exposed to outer edge portions of a back surface of the sealing body, and wires connecting pads formed on the semiconductor chip and the leads. End portions of the suspension leads positioned in an outer periphery portion of the sealing body are unexposed to the back surface of the sealing body, but are covered with the sealing body. Stand-off portions of the suspending leads are not formed in resin molding. When cutting the suspending leads, corner portions of the back surface of the sealing body are supported by a flat portion of a holder portion in a cutting die having an area wider than a cutting allowance of the suspending leads, whereby chipping of the resin is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20140160257
    Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus includes a three-dimensional video image parallax detector, a superimposed video image parallax setter, a superimposed video image parallax giver, and a video signal synthesis processor. The three-dimensional video image parallax detector detects the parallax in three-dimensional video images from a left-eye and right-eye three-dimensional video signal. The superimposed video image parallax setter sets the parallax in a three-dimensional superimposed video image to be superimposed upon three-dimensional video images to a parallax greater than the three-dimensional video image parallax. The superimposed video image parallax giver generates a left-eye superimposed video signal and a right-eye superimposed video signal from the superimposed video signal so as to have the set superimposed video image parallax.
