Abstract: A cleaning method of cleaning a solution treatment apparatus for applying a coating solution onto a substrate, the solution treatment apparatus including a holder holding and rotating the substrate; a coating solution supplier; and an inner cup surrounding the holder from a lateral side and having a peripheral edge side upper surface inclining down outward in a radial direction. The cleaning method includes introducing the cleaning solution to the storage chamber via the introduction hole, discharging the cleaning solution from the discharge port and making the cleaning solution flow down along the peripheral edge side upper surface of the inner cup, thereby cleaning away the coating solution adhering to the peripheral edge side upper surface. The discharging in the cleaning discharges the cleaning solution from discharge ports of the inner cup outward in the radial direction and obliquely upward.

Abstract: In the manufacture of a display device, an object of the invention is to make it possible to easily and precisely measure the amount of beveling of the display panel without an increase in manufacturing costs. In the process of manufacturing a display device, a shorting interconnection (10) is provided near edges of the display panel in order to short-circuit signal interconnections and scanning interconnections (interconnections 3). In a final stage, the shorting interconnection (10) is removed together with a beveled area (A2) by the beveling of the edges of the display panel. The interconnections (3) have marks (11) that are formed near the edges of the substrate and used as reference for the amount of beveling. Each mark (11) is located in a position shifted from the mark (11) of an adjacent interconnection (3) along the length of the interconnections (3).

Abstract: A lighting unit of the present invention comprises a light guide board, a fluorescent discharge tube provided on a side surface of the light guide board, having an electrode portion at its end portion, a lead wire having a contact connected to the electrode portion of the fluorescent discharge tube, and a holder having a cavity therein and containing the end portion of the fluorescent discharge tube and the contact of the lead wire inside the cavity. The diameter of the cavity is larger than that of the fluorescent discharge tube. With this construction, the lighting unit can suppress heat dissipation at the end portion of the fluorescent discharge tube as compared with the background art and as a result, can suppress degradation in luminance of the fluorescent discharge tube due to long term use.

Abstract: A plastic sheet that includes a first surface and a second surface, which intersect with each other on an imaginary line. The first surface and the second surface have a first straight line and a second straight line, respectively. A first line segment connecting an end of a cutout portion, which is provided on the second line, to an end opposite to the other end of a cutout part, which is provided on the first line, is orthogonal to the imaginary line.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a steam treatment process for stably preparing steam-treated roasted coffee beans having constant flavor quality by reducing variation in the degree of roasting between different sites in the system during steam treatment of roasted coffee beans without complicating operation processes or increasing costs. Steam at a temperature lower than the temperature necessary to advance the degree of roasting of coffee beans is supplied to an apparatus in which the roasted coffee beans are placed until condensed liquid produced in the apparatus has been discharged from the apparatus, and then, the temperature of steam supplied into the apparatus is raised until a temperature becomes sufficient for advancing the degree of roasting of coffee beans.

Abstract: A lamp lighting terminal which is a conductive pad connected to a power supply terminal of a lamp is mounted on a surface opposite to a light emitting surface of a flat light source apparatus. Then, a terminal of a inspection device is brought into contact with the lamp lighting terminal to light up a liquid crystal display apparatus, thereby allowing inspection to be carried out. The flat light source apparatus may be provided with a light guide inputting lights from a light source through the side to output the light through one surface. In this configuration, inspection work at the time of lighting inspection of a liquid crystal display is simplified, and a high-quality liquid crystal display can be obtained.

Abstract: A front frame has a panel opening in an area corresponding to the display surface of a liquid-crystal panel. In the picture frame that corresponds to the boundary of the panel opening, two through holes are formed in each of the two sides that are parallel to the panel horizontal direction and in each of the two sides that are parallel to the panel vertical direction. Each through hole is oval-shaped, and its longer axis coincides with the direction in which the side extends. Accordingly, when the middle frame is placed under the front frame, panel guide portions formed as parts of the middle frame can be visually seen from outside in relatively large areas.
