Apparatus and method for wireless near-field magnetic communication (NFMC) of information (e.g., voice or data) over modest distances (centimeters to a few kilometers). The transmission can proceed from an inductive coil transmitter to a magneto-electric (ME) receiving device, or between two ME devices. Electrical power may also be transmitted from and/or received using the same device. In one case, power and data are transmitted from an induction coil to a distant ME device that collects power and transmits data back to the power-transmission coil. In another case, the wireless transfer of data can be carried out between two ME devices. ME devices can be engineered to transmit or receive data and to receive electric power over a variety of frequencies by changing their dimensions, their material makeup and configuration, electrode configurations, and/or their resonance modes (longitudinal, transversal, bending, shear etc). Data rates up to and above several kilo-bits/s are possible using these methods with no limits on the frequency and duration of the communication.

A hand held electronic device having at least two displays is disclosed. At least one display is a direct-view display, like those on most cell phones or PDAs in use in 2001, for viewing at normal reading distance of approximately 12 to 24 inches (“arms'-length” viewing). At least one of the other displays is a microdisplay, a tiny display with magnifying optical elements, for viewing larger, higher-resolution images when the microdisplay is positioned close to the eye. The invention allows coordinating microdisplays and direct-view displays in ways that allow people to comfortably access and interact with full-page Web content on pocket-size devices. When a user is viewing a Web page (or other content) on a device's microdisplay held near-to-eye, the device allows the user to position a cursor or a rectangular outline (or some other indication of a “region of interest”) on a particular part of the Web page, and then when the user moves the device out to arms'-length viewing, the user should be able to view that region of interest on the direct-view display—that is, view a subset of the larger image that appeared on the microdisplay.

A display device is mounted on and/or inside the eye. The eye mounted display contains multiple sub-displays, each of which projects light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display. The projected light propagates through the pupil but does not fill the entire pupil. In this way, multiple sub-displays can project their light onto the relevant portion of the retina. Moving from the pupil to the cornea, the projection of the pupil onto the cornea will be referred to as the corneal aperture. The projected light propagates through less than the full corneal aperture. The sub-displays use spatial multiplexing at the corneal surface. Various electronic devices interface to the eye mounted display.

An anisotropic conductive adhesive contains conductive particles dispersed in a resin composition, wherein the resin composition includes a radical polymerization resin (A), an organic peroxide (B), a thermoplastic elastomer (C) and a phosphoric ester (D). The resin composition can further contain an epoxy silane coupling agent (E) represented by formula (2) or (3). The resin composition is mixed with other components after the radical polymerization resin (A), the thermoplastic elastomer (C), the phosphoric ester (D) and the epoxy silane coupling agent (E) are reacted. It is also possible to preliminarily react only the phosphoric ester (D) and the epoxy silane coupling agent (E) and to react the product of the preliminary reaction with the radical polymerization resin (A) and the thermoplastic elastomer (C), and then to add other components. The anisotropic conductive adhesive of the present invention can be used for electrical joining of electronic or electric parts of electrical apparatus.
