  • Patent number: 11958028
    Abstract: A preparation apparatus includes a first tank, a second tank, a preparation tank, and a computer having a hardware processor. The first tank contains a first liquid. The second tank contains a second liquid having a lower viscosity than the first liquid. The preparation tank stirs the first liquid supplied from the first tank and the second liquid supplied from the second tank to prepare a preparation liquid. The hardware processor measures a viscosity of the first liquid based on a supply time required to supply a specified amount of the first liquid at a constant pressure from the first tank to the preparation tank, and supplies an amount of the second liquid to the preparation tank based on the measured viscosity of the first liquid so as to cause the preparation liquid to have a target viscosity.

  • Publication number: 20240081004
    Abstract: A housing that houses a display panel includes a first wall and a second wall. A protrusion is formed on the first wall. A through hole is formed in the second wall. The protrusion passes through the through hole. A tip of the protrusion that has been passed through the through hole is expanded to fasten the first wall to the second wall. A clearance between the protrusion and the through hole is divided into a first part and a second part. The first and second parts are unequally allocated so that when a force from a front side to a back side of the display panel is applied to the first wall/second wall, the first wall/second wall is suppressed from being displaced relative to the second wall/first wall.
