Publication number: 20240094577Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal display device capable of switching between a transparent state and a scattering state, reducing or preventing a decrease in transmittance in the transparent state, and reducing or preventing a decrease in luminance in the panel central portion in the scattering state. The liquid crystal display device includes, sequentially from its viewing surface side toward its back surface side: a first liquid crystal panel; a light source; and a second liquid crystal panel, the first liquid crystal panel including a polymer dispersed liquid crystal containing a polymer network and liquid crystal components, the light source being configured to irradiate a back surface side main surface of the first liquid crystal panel with light from an oblique direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Koji MURATA, Yasuhiro HASEBA, Kazutaka HANAOKA, Kimiaki NAKAMURA, Mariko HONDA, Atsuko KANASHIMA, Tadashi HASEGAWA, Shinji SHIMADA

Publication number: 20230180815Abstract: A manufacturing method for a starch-containing composition that is not prone to collapsingshape in a liquid during heat cooking, is highly lusterless, and has excellent appearance which utilizes an extruder including a feeder for loading a food material and a die for discharging the food material after kneading and shaping. The screw has a first flight, a kneading, and a second flight section, and the barrel has a bend section at the first-half of the second flight section of the screw. A composition containing at least 3.0 mass % insoluble dietary fiber, at least 10.0 mass % starch, at least 3.0 mass % protein, and a dry-basis water content of at least 25 mass % is prepared.; The composition is then heated under pressure, kneaded, and depressurized until the degree of gelatinization is lowered by at least 6 mass %.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: MIZKAN HOLDINGS CO., LTD.Inventors: Makoto Suzuki, Kiyoshi Endo, Yusuke Tange, Kota Ono, Mariko Nakamura

Patent number: 4942073Abstract: In an optical data storage medium comprising a resin, substrate, a primary coat formed thereon and a recording layer of a dye decomposable by a laser beam formed on the primary coat, said primary coat is a silicone resin layer whose surface had been subjected to a plasma treatment. The primary coat prevents the substrate from attack by solvent for forming the recording layer, and enables the recording layer to be uniform in thickness with good adhesion.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1989Date of Patent: July 17, 1990Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Susumu Era, Setsuo Kobayashi, Mariko Nakamura, Akio Mukoh
