Patents by Inventor Yuta Uemura

Yuta Uemura has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8604473
    Abstract: An object is to provide a UV sensor with high accuracy, which can be manufactured at low cost and formed over a flexible substrate. A semiconductor device includes a transistor having an oxide semiconductor film, and a voltage source electrically connected to a gate of the transistor, in which a threshold voltage of the transistor is changed by irradiating the oxide semiconductor film with UV rays; a change in the threshold voltage of the transistor is dependent on a wavelength of the UV rays with which the oxide semiconductor film is irradiated, and the voltage source adjusts a voltage output to the gate of the transistor.
    Type: Grant
