  • Patent number: 8488187
    Abstract: Data concerning a transfer pattern of a lamination transparent film is not externally sent and stored in a memory but is generated by a random pattern generating module of a color controlling DSP. A random number generating section generates a pseudorandom number for each dot of one line; a tone data obtaining section obtains tone data corresponding to the pseudorandom number; and a transferring section transfers the tone data to a head signal converting ASIC. Tone data for each dot of one line is alternately written in line buffers. Using the tone data written in the line buffers, a thermal head transfers transparent film.

  • Patent number: 5759332
    Abstract: A laminate optical disc which has excellent heat resistance and also has sufficient bond strength. Radiation-curing adhesive layers are formed on a pair of transparent base plates excluding the outermost circumferential portions, respectively, and an ultraviolet-curing resin is applied to the outermost circumferential portion. Then, the pair of transparent base plates are bonded together by the radiation-curing adhesive layers, and also ultraviolet light is irradiated to the ultraviolet-curing resin to fix the base plates firmly to each other along the outermost circumferential portions. In a process for producing a laminate optical disc, radiation-curing adhesive layers are formed respectively on a pair of transparent base plates, and then irradiated with a radiation excluding at least the outermost circumferential portion to be tackified.

  • Patent number: 5262667
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device incorporating a plurality of photodiodes and comprising a prism on the device surface. A first and a second optical film are deposited on the surface of a first photodiode. Furthermore, the first optical film is formed on the surface of a second photodiode, and the second optical film is provided at the periphery of the photodiode. This structure securely protects the pn junction of the second photodiode during manufacture. In addition, a light-shielding metal film formed at the periphery of the photodiodes has an insulation film deposited thereon, the insulation film containing very low stress and providing high adhesiveness with respect to the prism. This arrangement enhances the reliability of the semiconductor device.
