  • Publication number: 20130229404
    Abstract: A transmission unit sequentially outputs a plurality of data signals in a predetermined transmission period during which a one-frame image is transmitted, the predetermined transmission period being defined by a product of a number of the given units and a transmission period of a given unit. Meanwhile, the transmission unit outputs a control signal in the period among the predetermined transmission period that is equivalent to a sum of the transmission time of the given units which does not include the data signals. This period corresponds to the sleep mode period of the transmission unit. The sleep mode period is set such that a ratio of the sleep mode period to the predetermined transmission period is larger than a ratio of a sum of a transmission period of the control signal and a margin period for transmission of the control signal to the predetermined transmission period.

  • Publication number: 20130216235
    Abstract: A data transmission system is provided with a transmission unit, a receiving unit, transmission paths, and a delay unit. The delay unit is disposed on a transmission path along which a high-speed signal is transmitted, and delays the transmission of the high-speed signal with respect to a low-speed signal. When the high-speed signal is transmitted from a section b2 to c along the transmission path, a delay time of ?t occurs with respect to when the high-speed signal is transmitted from a section a to b1 along the transmission path. In other words, the phase of the high-speed signal transmitted from section b2 to c is shifted with respect to the phase of the high-speed signal transmitted from section a to b1. Consequently, a time interval in which an EMI peak value occurs can be reduced, thereby enabling the probability of an EMI peak value occurring to be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8463129
    Abstract: A light transmission module includes an optical converter for converting an electrical signal to an optical signal; a light transmission path for transmitting the optical signal converted by the optical converter; an electrical transmission path for transmitting an input electrical signal; and a control instructing unit for instructing stop of drive to the optical converter based on a detection of an input electrical signal. When an input electrical signal having a predetermined frequency is detected, the input electrical signal having the predetermined frequency is converted to an optical signal and transmitted in the light transmission path. When input of an electrical signal other than the predetermined frequency is detected, the electrical signal other than the predetermined frequency is transmitted by the electrical transmission path without being converted to an optical signal due to the stop of the drive of the optical converter.

    Abstract: A mixture of urethane monomer and urethane oligomer containing the group shown in FIG. 4, and polymerization initiator, or a precursor of an elastomer having the bending elastic modulus after curing of smaller than or equal to 1,000 MPa is used as the clad material. The clad material is applied on the substrate and is pressed by the stamper from above to thinly spread the clad material. The clad material is then cured to form the lower clad layer, and thereafter, a core is formed on the lower clad layer. Subsequently, the clad material is applied on the lower clad layer and is pressed by the stamper from above to thinly spread the clad material, which clad material is then cured to form the upper clad layer. Finally, the substrates are removed to obtain a film waveguide that can be bent at a small curvature radius.
