Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes: a liquid crystal panel containing an effective pixel region that is configured to emit light corresponding to an image; and a frame member provided on a light emission side of the liquid crystal panel, and having an opening opposed to the effective pixel region of the liquid crystal panel. An edge portion of the opening of the frame member is formed of a low-reflection material having a reflectance of less than about 1.5% to green light.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data transmission cable and the like including a structure reducing the frequency dependence of cable attenuation in digital transmission, thereby suppressing signal distortions. The data transmission cable includes at least a pair of conductors, each coated with an insulator, extending along a predetermined direction; and a shield tape, provided so as to surround the conductors, including a metal layer. In particular, in the shield tape, the metal layer has a thickness of 1 &mgr;m or more but 10 &mgr;m or less, preferably 2 &mgr;m or more but 6 &mgr;m or less.

Abstract: A foamed-polyolefin-insulated wire having a conductor diameter of 0.4 mm or less and an insulation thickness of 0.8 mm or less and satisfying, an equivalent dielectric constant less than 1.6, the fluctuation limits of the equivalent dielectric constant less than or equal to ±0.1, and conductor stripping force greater than or equal to 100 g/50 mm. Polyolefin including 10 weight % or more of an ionomer is used. Polyolefin having a swelling ratio of 55 % or more is extruded over the conductor to form a foamed insulation layer with a foaming degree of 50 % or more using a chemical foaming agent and/or an inert gas. The wire is suitable for high-speed data transmission.

Abstract: A lightning detector featuring improved reliability over the conventional radar-type or coherer-type lightning detector that measures the intensity of static electricity or the intensity of electromagnetic waves, includes a coherer with an automatically restoring decoherer. The coherer is equipped with a separate coherer for a lightning circuit. The lightning detector detects and operates the (static) position and/or approaching/separating condition (dynamic) data of the thundercloud while protecting its own circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a liquid crystal display unit, which is capable of shortening, at the time of adhesively bonding and fixing a transparent substrate to a liquid crystal panel, curing time by eliminating any heating treatment, thereby preventing degradation of the display quality and also improving the productivity. The production method is performed by bringing a transparent substrate into close-contact with a liquid crystal panel with a light-curing resin put therebetween, to form an assembly, and irradiating the assembly with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 340 nm or more, to cure the light-curing resin for a short time. At this time, ultraviolet light having a wavelength ranging from 240 to 450 nm is emitted from an ultraviolet lamp, and an ultraviolet light component having a wavelength of less than 340 nm is shielded by a sharp cut filter.

Abstract: A continuous ultrasonic cleaning apparatus having excellent cleaning efficiency and holding/carrying capability of the product-to-be-cleaned is disclosed. The apparatus enables the speed of the conveyors to be increased, forced drying to be achieved and no stain nor water marks are formed even if water is used as a cleaning agent. The continuous ultrasonic cleaning apparatus utilizes a cleaning agent receiving/storage bath having a cleaning agent supplying/adding function for the cleaning bath positioned therebelow and an ultrasonic oscillator. Net conveyors for holding the product-to-be-cleaned are used and synchronized for carrying the product-to-be-cleaned. A high-speed air blower is mounted at a down-stream side of the cleaning bath. Even if water or pure water is used as a cleaning agent, the ultrasonic efficiency is high. When using the high-speed blower to dry the cleaning agent, the product is securely retained at its original position.
