    摘要: A solid-state image pickup device for preventing crosstalk between adjacent pixels by providing an overflow barrier at the deep potion of a substrate. A partial P type region is provided at the predetermined position of a lower layer region of the vertical transfer register and a channel stop region. This P type region adjusts potential in the lower layer region of the vertical transfer register and the channel stop region. Accordingly, since the potential in the lower layer region of the vertical transfer register and the channel stop region at both sides of the lower layer region is low, electric charges photoelectrically-converted by the sensor region are blocked by this potential barrier and cannot be diffused easily.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus which is provided with a fingerprint verification function with a high security and a high operability. When a fingerprint is inputted from a fingerprint reading surface of a display/fingerprint reading unit, a fingerprint data sensing control unit reads fingerprint data and coordinate data, and stores the data into a storage unit. The fingerprint data is verified against fingerprint data previously registered and stored in a storage unit, to determine whether or not there is a matching fingerprint. In an information processing apparatus, a fingerprint verification function is thus implemented. Further, based on the coordinate data related to fingerprint input, the operation of the information processing apparatus is controlled. Accordingly, with such simple control as coordinate designation by touching the fingerprint reading surface with a finger at the time of fingerprint verification, the operation of the information processing apparatus can be controlled.

    摘要: A display system for a compact electronic apparatus uses a multi-level display means with a plurality of display lines. When the result of a computation is not displayed, all these display lines are available for displaying a computation expression. When the result of a computation is desired, that portion of the expression on the line on which the result of the computation is displayed is cleared. As a result, the user may be able to see the entire expression at a single glance and distinction between the expression and the result of the computation is clear so as to prevent misrecognition by the user.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a photographing device that includes a number of light-receiving elements, a number of vertical transfer registers, a first drive-voltage applying electrode, and a second drive-voltage applying electrode. The light-receiving elements are arranged in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. The vertical transfer registers transfers the electric charges accumulated in the light-receiving elements in the vertical direction. The first drive-voltage applying electrode is arranged parallel to the vertical transfer registers, for applying a drive voltage to a specific one of the vertical transfer registers. The second drive-voltage applying electrode is arranged perpendicular to the vertical transfer registers, for applying a second drive voltage to the vertical transfer registers at the same time. The electric charges accumulated in the light-receiving elements are transferred to the vertical transfer registers, due to the voltage output from the first drive-voltage applying electrode or the second drive-voltage applying electrode, or the voltages output from both electrodes. Therefore, the light-receiving elements can have different sensitivities, and the photographing device can photograph dynamic scenes in a broad dynamic range.
