Abstract: A color conversion film that absorbs light from an organic electroluminescent part emitting blue-green light and converts the light to visible light at a longer wavelength. The color conversion film includes two different dyes. A first dye is a polymer dye with an average molecular weight of 1000 to 1,000,000 that absorbs light incident on the color conversion film and transfers the energy of the light to a second dye. The second dye is a dye that receives the energy from the first dye and emits light. With a multicolor-emitting, organic electroluminescent device including the color conversion film, it is possible to achieve excellent conversion efficiency without increasing the thickness of the color conversion film as in a conventional device using a binder resin. Such an organic electroluminescent device may include as well a pair of electrodes at least one of which is a transparent electrode, and an organic electroluminescent layer sandwiched between the electrodes.

The monitor has: a charge mode “mode 1” in which main charging of the battery unit with use of electric power supplied from the AC adapter is carried out in a case where the electric power is supplied from the AC adapter; and a charge mode “mode 2” in which the main charging of the battery unit with use of the electric power supplied from the AC adapter is not carried out even in the case where the electric power is supplied from the AC adapter.

Abstract: The present invention allows light leaked to outside of a light guide plate (50) from a surface area L to pass through a diffusion sheet (70) by covering both the bottom of an optical sheet (75) and the surface area L of the light guide plate (50) located between an LED FPC (25) and the optical sheet (75) with the diffusion sheet (70). This irradiates a liquid crystal display panel (30) with light after the light leaked to outside from the surface area L is diffused by the diffusion sheet (70), so unevenness in the brightness of backlight emitted from a backlight device (240) can be reduced. Thus, the brightness of images displayed on a screen can be made uniform regardless of distance to an LED (60).

Abstract: When the electrically driven fan (14) of a vacuum cleaner is driven, air containing dust is drawn into the cleaner main body (1) through a hose (7) connected to a hose socket (8) and is exhausted into the outside of the cleaner main body (1) through an exhaust port (1b) via first and second suction passageways (10, 13). Disposed outside the first suction passageway (10) is an ion generator (23), it being arranged that plus and minus ions generated in the ion generator (23) are fed to the air stream flowing in the first suction passageway (10). Since the plus and minus ions kill floating germs in the air stream, the exhaust can be purified.
