摘要:
A method for forming a resistance-reducing electrode pattern in an electrooptical device includes the steps of: forming a transparent conductive film on a substrate; forming a plurality of opaque conductive strips on the film; and scribing the combined structure with a laser through the two layers to simultaneously divide the conductive strips into two parts and pattern the transparent film. In this manner, a pattern of transparent electrodes bordered with an opaque electrode pattern is formed. In specific embodiments, the opaque strips may comprise chromium, and the opaque conductive strips may be formed prior to application of the steps above by laser scribing an applied opaque film layer.

A contact image sensor for use in facsimile machines is described. A light window is opened through a photosensitive semiconductor film deposited on a glass sustrate. Light rays are passed through the light window, reflected on an original and absorbed by the semiconductor film in order to produce image signals containing visual information of the original. Provided on the light incident side of the semiconductor film is a light blocking electrode which prevents incident light rays from directly entering the semiconductor film therethrough without reflection on the original. The opposing electrode formed on the other side of the semiconductor film is made of a transparent film covering the side surface of the light window. The opposing electrode on the side surface functions to eliminate noise signals caused by undesirable light rays incident through the side surface, which otherwise, would deteriorate the output signals of the image sensor.

An improved image sensor made of photosensitive semiconductor materials with a number of pixels each including an n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer and an intrinsic semiconductor layer disposed between the n-type and p-type layers. The n-type and p-type layers are made from a semiconductor material having a high resistivity. The high resistivity of the n-type layer and the p-type layer functions to prevent crosstalk currents from passing between the pixels.

摘要:
A photosensing system is described. Light rays to be sensed is incident on a photosensitive semiconductor device which allows much current to pass therethrough during receiving the incident light and which passes a little current when there is no incident light. The current passing through the semiconductor device is accumulated in a suitable storage means. The accumulated charge is detected, in order to judge the existence or the absence of the incident light, a certain time period after the pulsed signal is outputted.
