Patent number: 7880185Abstract: In an LED array chip (2), LEDs (6) are connected together in series by a bridging wire (30). The LEDs (6) each have a semiconductor multilayer structure (8-18) including a light emitting layer (14). Here, the semiconductor multilayer structure (8-18) is epitaxially grown on a front surface of an SiC substrate (4). A phosphor film (48) covers the LEDs (6). Two power supply terminals (36 and 38), which are electrically independent from each other, are formed on a back surface of the SiC substrate (4). The power supply terminal (36) is connected to a cathode electrode (32) of an LED (6a) at a lower potential end by a bridging wire (40) and a plated-through hole (42). The power supply terminal (38) is connected to an anode electrode (34) of an LED (6d) at a higher potential end by a bridging wire (44) and a plated-through hole (46).Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2009Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventor: Hideo Nagai

Patent number: 7875882Abstract: A display device includes a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a matrix. A scan signal is made to flow into a gate signal line and a data signal is made to flow into a source signal line so that the data signal is applied to a source electrode and the scan signal is supplied to a gate electrode of a control TFT arranged at a portion where the both signal lines intersect when viewed from above. Thus, when the control TFT is turned ON, a drive TFT having a gate electrode connected to the drain electrode is turned ON, so that current is supplied from a power supply line via the source electrode and the drain electrode of the drive TFT to an organic EL element and the organic EL element emits light. A holding capacity is present between the control TFT and the drive TFT. Even when the scan signal becomes LOW level and the control TFT turns OFF, the gate potential of the drive TFT is held for a predetermined period of time by the holding capacity and the organic EL element continues to emit light.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2009Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignees: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., Tottori Sanyo Electric Co., LtdInventors: Satoshi Morita, Shinichiro Tanaka, Osamu Kobayashi
