  • Publication number: 20210020689
    Abstract: In a display device, an inorganic insulating layer, a metal layer, a flattering film, a first electrode, an edge cover, a function layer, and a second electrode are formed, in that order, on a base substrate. The edge cover covers an edge of the first electrode and includes a first opening exposing the first electrode. The function layer is formed covering the first opening and an edge of the edge cover. The flattening film includes a first planar portion and a second planar portion having a film thickness smaller than that of the first planar portion, is configured to electrically connect the first electrode and the metal layer via a contact hole formed in the first planar portion, and overlaps the first opening of the edge cover at at least a portion of the second planar portion.

  • Publication number: 20150101901
    Abstract: A vehicular antivibration device includes a torque rod and an actuator. The torque rod is connected at a first end to a vehicle body and connected at a second end to a vibration source. The actuator is disposed between the first end and the second end of the torque rod, includes an inertia mass supported on the torque rod, and causes the inertia mass to reciprocate in the axial direction of the torque rod. The actuator includes a coil, a magnetic core, a permanent magnet and a heat-conducting member. The magnetic core forms magnetic paths for the coil, and the coil is wound around the outer periphery of the magnetic core. The permanent magnet faces the inertia mass and is disposed on the magnetic core. The heat-conducting member is disposed so as to contact the coil and the torque rod.
