摘要:
In the case of a flat panel display having an vacuum envelope in which electron sources are formed in a matrix, it is difficult to control the distance between the front substrate and the rear substrate in and around the effective screen area. Spacers are arranged both in and around the effective display area 6. Inner spacers 12 are arranged in the effective display area 6 while outer spacers 13 are arranged around the effective display area 6. The distance between the front substrate 2 and the front substrate 1 in the peripheral area is controlled by the outer spacers 13. This can solve various problems including the electrification of spacers 12 which may occur if the distance between the front substrate 2 and the front substrate 1 is not uniform.

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a storage element which is programmed with information by breaking an insulating film by application of electrical stress to the storage element, a control switch which controls the application of electrical stress to the storage element, and a control circuit which controls conduction/nonconduction of the control switch. The device further includes a power supply circuit including a voltage generation circuit which generates a first voltage to cause the electrical stress in program operation, a sensing circuit which senses that the insulating film is broken down, and a counter circuit which controls the control circuit to interrupt the application of electrical stress to the storage element when a given period of time elapses after the sensing circuit senses that the insulating film is broken down.

A spacer according to the present invention for use in a flat panel display, which includes a cathode substrate with a cold cathode electron emitting device formed thereon, an anode substrate with a phosphor formed thereon, and a spacer disposed between the cathode and anode substrates, comprises a base made of a conductive glass, and a conductive crystallized glass layer on a surface of the base. The spacer is more excellent in antistatic characteristics than conventional spacers having a conducting layer on the surface of an insulating glass base. A flat panel display according to the present invention using the spacers permits a higher voltage to be applied, thus increasing image quality.

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a nonvolatile storage element to which data is inhibited from being rewritten, a read operation control circuit which captures a read operation instruction signal in synchronization with an external input clock, and a write operation control circuit to which a write operation instruction signal is input asynchronously with the external input clock. The read operation instruction signal gives an instruction to start a read operation to read data out of the nonvolatile storage element, and the write operation instruction signal gives an instruction to start a write operation to write data to the nonvolatile storage element. The device further includes a reset circuit which resets an operation of the read operation control circuit upon receiving the write operation instruction signal.

An image forming device is disclosed that can control image blurring, image contraction, and the like when resilient transfer media such as cardboard is to be transported upward from a pair of resist rollers and guided to a transfer position, and obtain a suitable transfer image. Transfer media is transported upward by resist rollers, and guided toward a transfer position by a pair of guide plates. Because tip of a resilient transfer medium such as cardboard may spring back to its original shape after it separates from the resist rollers, one guide plate is urged toward the transfer position by spring members, and can absorb the springing of the transfer media back to its original shape by pivoting away from the transfer position, and thus can reduce the occurrences of image blurring or the like.
