Abstract: Compressible interconnection is removably provided between a liquid crystal panel and a circuit board or a semiconductor chip to provide exchangeability for the liquid crystal panel from the viewpoint of the limited operating life inherent in liquid crystal composites. A desired number of electrodes for electrical connection are provided on both the liquid crystal panel and the circuit board to confront each other. The compressible interconnection means comprises a stack including a multiplicity of compressible and resilient conductive regions made of, for example, conductive rubber and a multiplicity of compressible, resilient non-conductive regions made of, for example, rubber in alternate fashion. The conductive regions connect the electrodes provided on the liquid crystal panel with the electrodes provided on the circuit board.

Abstract: In a flexure crystal, flexural vibration will occur when a unidirectional electric field is applied thereto in a manner that strength of the electric field varies from point to point. For the fork type of crystal vibrator, each of branches is provided with electrodes at the top wall, the bottom wall and the outer side wall for application of the strength-variable unidirectional electric field.

Abstract: A ceramic package includes a ceramic case for installing a piezo-vibrator therein. Capacitors are formed directly on the bottom surface of the ceramic case through the multi-layer printing method. Electrodes of the capacitors also function as input and output electrodes for the piezo-vibrator.

Abstract: Interconnection is removably provided between a liquid crystal panel and a circuit board or semiconductor chip which provides exchangeability for the liquid crystal panel which is advantageous because of the limited operating life inherent in liquid crystal composites. Contact areas of the circuit chip confront contact areas (or electrode areas) of the liquid crystal panel with interposition of compressible and resilient connector means which complete the circuit therebetween. In one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the compressible connector means comprises a rod-like dielectric compressible resilient material such as, for example, rubber and a predetermined number of ring-shaped compressible, reslient electroconductive members such as, for example, conductive rubber. In another preferred form, the electroconductive members comprise discrete stratified conductive members embedded in the rod-like dielectric material in desired alignment with the opposed contact areas.
