  • Patent number: 7639318
    Abstract: A backlight unit 1 includes a plurality of light emitting devices 2 constituted with, for example, LED lamps, and an optical sheet 4 disposed on light emission surface 2b sides of the light emitting devices 2. The light emission surface sides of the plural light emitting devices are joined to the optical sheet 4 via joining layers 5. The backlight unit 1 satisfies a condition of n1?n2?n3, where n1 is a refractive index of the optical sheet 4, n2 is a refractive index of the joining layer 5, and n3 is a refractive index of the light emitting device 2.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6642165
    Abstract: Wear resistant member for electronic equipment comprises a silicon nitride sintered body that contains conductivity enhancing particles, and has electrical resistivity in the range from 1 to 105 &OHgr;·m. In silicon nitride sintered body, agglomeration of conductivity enhancing particles in which distance between conductivity enhancing particles is less than 1 &mgr;m exists by 30% or less by area ratio per unit area. Wear resistant member is used for a bearing ball or the like, being applied in a rotation actuator of electronic equipment such as a magnetic recorder and optical disk drive. Malfunction of electronic equipment due to static electricity may be cancelled due to electrical resistivity that silicon nitride sintered body has.

  • Patent number: 6475940
    Abstract: Wear resistant member for electronic equipment comprises a zirconium oxide sintered body of which specific resistance is in the range from 1 to 105 &OHgr;·m. A conductivity enhancer of which specific resistance is 10−5 &OHgr;·m or less is compounded to a zirconium oxide sintered body to materialize specific resistance from 1 to 105 &OHgr;·m. For a conductivity enhancer, carbides and nitrides of various kinds of metals can be used. Wear resistant member can be used as a bearing ball, being applied in a rotational driver of electronic equipment such as a magnetic recording device and an optical disk device. Deficiency due to static electricity of electronic equipment is cancelled due to specific resistance that a zirconium oxide sintered body has.
