Abstract: In a flat display panel having a panel and a flexible board connected and fixed to each other through an anisotropic conductive film, a surface end of a solder resist formed on the flexible board is located to face a surface end of an insulating film layer formed on the panel. Conductive particles contained in the anisotropic conductive film flowing out during a compression bonding process aggregate in a non-connection region due to the thickness of the insulating resin layer. This makes it possible to substantially completely prevent the short-circuit problem due to the aggregation of the conductive particles.

Abstract: A semiconductor module (18) includes a ring-shaped metal frame (13) having a bottom surface for contact with a top surface of an external heat sink (11) and serving as a mounting surface. The ring-shaped metal frame (13) has a flange (20) along an inner periphery thereof for engagement with an outer peripheral part of an insulating substrate (17) at a first main surface of a ceramic plate (1). The metal frame (13) is fastened to the external heat sink (11) by screws (12) or bonded to the external heat sink (11) with an adhesive. The flange (20) of the metal frame (13) fastened or bonded to the external heat sink (11) presses the outer peripheral part of the insulating substrate (17) toward the external heat sink (11). This pressing force holds the insulating substrate (17) in pressure contact with the external heat sink (11). The semiconductor module (18) avoids the problem of a decreasing pressing force resulting from deformation to ensure a satisfactory heat dissipating property over a long period of time.

Abstract: An interterminal anti-short-circuiting pattern is formed in an upper metal wire included in a connection terminal 3, for connecting to external driving LSI and the like, located on the projected portion of a bottom glass substrate 2. This pattern includes recess 4 and island 5 on which a contact hole 12a is formed through a protective insulating film. The protective insulating film has high residence to water penetration. Spread of the corrosion can be shut off by the recess surrounding the island. Short circuit occurrence due to interterminal current leak can be inhibited under high moisture conditions in the semiconductor device used for active matrix display, e.g. LCD panel.

Abstract: A method of processing a product using fabric of the present invention comprises a marking treatment step to mark a position of connection with a trim cloth on a three-dimensional net member (a solid knitted fabric) 11 before uniting the solid knitted fabric which is one fabric and a trim cloth which is the other fabric. Accordingly, a cutting step of a fabric material can be facilitated so that cost of the cutting step can be reduced. Further, occurrence of a remnant at the time of cutting the fabric material can be reduced to almost zero, thereby the availability of the fabric material can be improved.

Abstract: A LCD display device includes a LCD panel unit and a LCD driver (TCP) for driving the LCD panel unit. The panel terminals of the signal lines are bonded to respective TCP leads of the LCD driver. The panel terminal has a slit therein for inspection of the alignment of the panel terminal and the TCP lead. If the alignment is achieved, light does not pass the slit whereas if the alignment is incomplete, light passes the slit, whereby the misalignment is detected by human eyes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sustained-release aromatic, characterized in that the aromatic comprises at least one perfume derivative as an active component selected from glycosides of perfumes, phosphoric acid ester derivatives of perfumes, amino acid derivatives of perfumes and carboxylic acid derivatives of perfumes, and contains no enzyme or acid which decomposes the perfume derivative, wherein the perfume derivative is decomposed by bacteria usually present on the skin or yeast to release a perfume component to exhibit aroma. The present invention also provides a method for the detection of micro-organisms using the aforesaid sustained-release aromatic. As the sustained-release aromatic of the present invention releases a perfume component only when it is decomposed by micro-organisms such as bacteria usually present on the skin or yeast, the amount of perfumes to be used can be extremely reduced. The sustained-release aromatic of the present invention is also excellent in keeping aroma.
