The planar light source device includes a planar light guide plate, light sources arranged as to be opposed to end surfaces of the light guide plate on its both sides, and a divided prism formed in a back surface inside the light guide plate and that reflects light incident upon the light guide plate from the light sources toward a front surface side of the light guide plate. The divided prism includes a prism portion and a dividing portion both of which have a width equal to or less than the wavelength of light from the light sources and is formed with the prism portion and the dividing portion alternately repeated along a direction parallel to the end surfaces of the light guide plate which are opposed to the light sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2009Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Akimasa Yuuki, Kenji Itoga, Naoko Iwasaki, Suguru Nagae

Publication number: 20110002143Abstract: A light guide plate (100) has an input face (11) to couple light (B0) emitted by a light source (50) into said light guide (100), and an out-coupling grating (30) to couple light (B2) out of said light guide (100). Said out-coupling grating (30) is substantially perpendicular to said input face (11). A rough cut side of a light guide (100) is processed by a heated surface processing member (701) to smooth out irregularities and/or to implement a further diffraction grating (12) on said input face (11). The efficiency of coupling light out of the light guide (100) may be substantially increased and/or stray light effects may be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2006Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Pasi Saarikko, Pauli Laitinen, Mika Kauhanen

Publication number: 20110002145Abstract: A method of operating a resonant power converter(1, 2), having a high side switch(3) and a low side switch(4), is disclosed in which the switching is controlled to allow for improved operation at low power levels. The method involved an interruption to the part of the switching cycle in which the low side switch (4) is normally closed, by opening the switch at a particular moment in the cycle which allows the energy to be store in the resonance capacitor (5). Since, as a result, the energy is largely not resonating but stored in a single component, the time quantisation of the mode of operation is significantly reduced or eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2009Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: NXP B.V.Inventor: Hans Halberstadt

Publication number: 20110002147Abstract: An off-period adjustment circuit 17 changes an off period of the switching element 2 after a maximum on period according to duration of a period from when the switching element 2 is turned on to when a current flowing through the switching element 2 reaches an overcurrent detection level. With this configuration, an oscillation frequency of the switching element 2 is changed so that a switching power supply can provide output energy independently of change in input voltage. Consequently provided is a less costly switching power supply apparatus and a semiconductor device used for the switching power supply apparatus, with which currents to loads are made uniform among regulation devices without providing different circuit constants according to a range of input voltages.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2010Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventor: Minoru FUKUI
