A mobile communication method is disclosed, and particularly a power of two length pseudorandom noise sequence generator is disclosed, in which a pseudorandom noise code sequence is generated to use it for a direct sequence spreading of communication signals in a spread spectrum communication system. In the PN sequence generator, a mask value and a comparison value are calculated for shifting the PN sequence output having a length of 2.sup.N as much as wanted, so that the PN sequence can be shifted as much as a predetermined value in response to the single clock signal. In order to generate a PN sequence of the desired timing, a new PN mask value is directly obtained from the current PN mask value and the offset shift value to be shifted, and at the same time, a comparison value corresponding to the mask value is obtained, whereby ultimately a PN sequence having a length of 2.sup.N after shifting the cycle as much as the desired shifting value is obtained. The present invention adopts a method of forming a new comparison value corresponding to the PN mask value by using a comparison value translator, and as a result, the conventional additional circuits for inserting an additional bit into the PN sequence output are not required, and therefore, the constitution of the present invention is very much simplified compared with the conventional apparatus.

A method is disclosed for manufacturing a very fast micro light valve of the type used to control the passage of light through a pixel. The method comprises preparing a substrate, which can be made of glass, and forming transparent electrodes on the main surface of the substrate. Next an insulating layer is deposited on the substrate and a first sacrificial layer is formed on the insulating layer. A pattern shifting element layer is formed on the first sacrificial layer and a second sacrificial layer is formed on the substrate and provided with a shifting element layer. After portions of the sacrificial layers are removed by etching to form a frame contact portion, a patterned frame layer is formed on the frame contact portion. Then a frame and a shifting element capable of moving in the frame under an applied external electrostatic force are formed by removing the remaining sacrificial layers.
