    摘要: A lateral current blocking light emitting diode (LED) and a method of making the same are disclosed. The present invention features in that a trench is formed between the two electrodes via the technique of such as etching, wherein the depth of the trench reaches to at least the active layer, thereby blocking the lateral current between the two electrodes. With the use of the present invention, the possibility of the current passing through the active layer can be increased, thereby improving the brightness of the LED; and the chance of the photons emitted from the lateral of the trench can be raised wherein the photons are generated from the active layer, thereby increasing the output efficiency of the photons generated from the active layer.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for speeding up the reading speed of a sequential I/O device, such as a Charge Coupled Device, is disclosed. The method involves in providing normal clocks for reading selected pixels and dummy clocks for reading unselected pixels. Since dummy clocks are faster than normal clocks, therefore the total time for processing the document can be less than using clocks of uniform speed. The apparatus of the invention comprises: a clock control device for generating two transfer pulses &phgr;1 and &phgr;2 in response to a clock cycle. The transfer pulses &phgr;1 and &phgr;2 are input to a sequential I/O device. The signal charge generated from the sequential I/O device will then output to an AND converter to be converted into digital signals. If the digital signals are marked, they will be latched. If not, they will simply be ignored.
