  • Patent number: 5495354
    Abstract: A method of producing a color filter for a liquid crystal display which can improve the evenness of a color filter surface layer by eliminating the difference in height between black matrices and color elements. The black matrices are formed on a transparent insulating layer and the color elements of red, green and blue are formed between the black matrices. On the black matrices, additional black matrices are formed with the same height as the color elements by electroplating, and a protective layer and a transparent conductive layer are formed thereon. Alternatively, the transparent conductive layer and the color elements are formed on the transparent insulating substrate in turn, the black matrices are formed between the respective color elements up to the same height as the color elements, and then the protective layer is formed thereon.

  • Patent number: 5462297
    Abstract: The discloure relates to a roller-skate with improved brake device. A guidance slanting upwards is disposed at a first through hole of the skate body for the mounting of a first rolling axle having a first wheel member rotatably engaged therewith. A spring mount fixed with a brake plate having brake lining underside both its ends is mounted between the first and the second wheel members. When the wheel support lurches forwards, the first wheel member will move upwards through the guidance, urging against the brake lining fixed under brake plate fixed to the spring mount to achieve the effect of braking the skate. Moreover, when pressed at one end, the brake plate, by leverage, will bend at the other end to limit the motion of the second wheel member and thus further contributes to the effectivity of the brake device.

  • Patent number: 5458348
    Abstract: A ventilating skate including a skate body formed with several circular or polygonal through holes in which ventilating disks are disposed. One side of the ventilating disk is formed with a ventilating groove. A pivot plate formed with multiple through holes is rotatably connected with the ventilating disk to locate the same in the through hole of the skate body. The ventilating disk can be rotated to adjust the orientation of the ventilating groove and thus adjust the amount of incoming air. A whistling film is disposed in the ventilating groove, whereby when skating with the air passing through the ventilating groove, the whistling film is vibrated to emit a sound.

  • Patent number: 5389979
    Abstract: An improved chrominance signal playback system and method for a video cassette recorder are disclosed. A radio frequency of composite video signal detected by a video head is applied to a low-pass filter which filters the composite video signal and outputs a low frequency of chrominance signal. The chrominance signal from the low-pass filter is automatically gain-controlled and is demodulated. The demodulated chrominance signal is applied to a color killer circuit. Also, an envelope detector detects an envelope signal from the chrominance signal from the low-pass filter. In response to the envelope signal, an attenuator attenuates the level of the chrominance signal from the color killer circuit. This results in the suppression of white noise in the chrominance signal. Therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio and the accompanying image quality can be enhanced.
