  • Patent number: 10984989
    Abstract: A charge neutralizer that includes a vacuum chamber which is capable of having a charged object installed therein and includes a high vacuum processing unit that performs vapor deposition, and a plasma generator configured to supply plasma caused by an electron cyclotron resonance to an inside of the vacuum chamber. The plasma generator includes a plasma source configured to generate the plasma, and a flange configured to install the plasma source inside the vacuum chamber.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8014121
    Abstract: The present invention prevents occurrence of electrical discharge on an electrically conductive structure in an environment in which high-energy electrons impinge onto the structure or on an electronic element mounted to a surface of the structure, which electrical discharge would otherwise occur when the potential of the structure or the electronic element increases in the negative direction due to a negative charge flowing thereinto. An insulating tape bonded to the surface of the electrically conductive structure is partially cut-removed; an electrically conductive adhesive is applied to an exposed portion of the surface of the electrically conductive structure; and an insulating film is bonded to the electrically conductive adhesive, such that the electrically conductive adhesive is exposed to the outside.

  • Patent number: 7075596
    Abstract: A liquid crystal projector includes a reference temperature sensor, a comparison temperature sensor, and a shut-off unit for shutting off the power to a light source lamp for backlight when the difference between a temperature sensed by the reference temperature sensor and a temperature sensed by the comparison temperature sensor is more than a predetermined value. Used as the reference temperature sensor is a temperature sensor for sensing the ambient temperature of the main body of the liquid crystal projector, and used as the comparison temperature sensor is a temperature sensor for sensing the ambient temperature of a liquid crystal panel. Alternately, used as the reference temperature sensor is a temperature sensor for sensing the ambient temperature of the main body of the liquid crystal projector, and used as the comparison temperature sensor is a temperature sensor for sensing the ambient temperature of the light source lamp for backlight.

  • Patent number: 6550920
    Abstract: A liquid crystal projector provided with one or a plurality of cooling fans comprises a temperature sensor for sensing the internal temperature of the liquid crystal projector, and a driving control circuit for controlling the driving voltage of the cooling fan on the basis of the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor. A driving control circuit controls the driving voltage of the cooling fan in proportion to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor in a case where the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is within a predetermined range.
