Abstract: In an LCD, there are provided plural kinds of spacers, each kind of spacers having different diameters being arranged at a desired portion. Difference in gap between the displaying portion and the peripheral portion can be compensated by the difference of the sizes of the spacers. Such arrangement of spacers are provided by dropping plural fluids, each including a liquid crystal and spacers on either substrate consecutively such that drops of each fluid are regularly arranged at a desired portion. The gap of the peripheral portion can be made larger than that of the middle portion of the displaying portion. At an edge portion of the displaying portion, spacers having intermediate size may be arranged. The gap between the electrodes at an edge portion may be made larger than that of the middle portion of the displaying portion to compensate affection of resistances of wiring from a drive circuit or unevenness of temperature caused by backlighting.

Abstract: A synchronized dog clutch according to the invention comprises a clutch shaft, a coupling sleeve splined to the clutch shaft and having dog claws at its end, a synchronizer ring slidably fitted to outer periphery of the coupling sleeve, said synchronizer ring having a conical face for frictional engagement and being rotatable together with the coupling sleeve, and a gear wheel coaxially and rotatably arranged with respect to the clutch shaft and having teeth at its outer periphery. The gear wheel is provided with a conical face and claws respectively engagable with the conical face of the synchronizer ring and the claws of the coupling sleeve. The conical face of the gear wheel is disposed closely and radially inside the teeth, and the claws of the gear wheel are arranged inside the conical face, and thereby torque transmitted through the conical faces for synchronization is increased.
