Abstract: A small-sized liquid crystal display device which can enhance light utilization efficiency of light emitting diodes and also can reduce a thickness of the liquid crystal display device is provided. A flexible printed circuit board is connected to a terminal portion of a TFT substrate. In such a flexible printed circuit board, a light-emitting-diode-use flexible printed circuit board is folded and extends toward a back surface of a backlight. Light emitting diodes are arranged on the light-emitting-diode-use flexible printed circuit board in such a manner that the light emitting diodes are pressed against an edge portion of the light guide plate. Since the light emitting diodes and the edge portion of the light guide plate are brought into close contact with each other, the utilization efficiency of light from the light emitting diodes is enhanced.

Abstract: A magnetic motor includes rotors having permanent magnets and rotatably disposed around a rotating axis, a magnetic sensor disposed at a periphery of the rotors and a plurality of electro-magnetic coils, and control means which controls electric current to the coils based on detection of magnetism from the magnets by means of the sensor. The rotor is equidistantly divided in a circumferential direction into the same number of regions as that of the coils. Each region includes a portion wherein a plurality of magnets are disposed in a circumferential direction and a portion wherein no magnets are disposed. Each magnet is disposed inclined against a radial line extending outwardly from the rotating axis. The control means switches the direction of electric current to the coils based on the signal from the sensor and supplies current after a lapse of predetermined time from the detection of magnetism by the sensor.

Abstract: A magnetic motor is obtained which is free from pass-through current, and which can achieve high output torque, stable rotation and high efficiency. The motor comprises rotors 4, 5 having permanent magnets 12 and rotatably disposed around a rotating axis, a magnetic sensor 25 disposed at a periphery of the rotors and a plurality of electro-magnetic coils 10, and control means which controls electric current to the electro-magnetic coils 10 based on detection of magnetism from the permanent magnets 12 by means of the magnetic sensor 25. The rotor is equidistantly divided in a circumferential direction into a plurality of regions, the number of which is the same as that of the electro-magnetic coils 10. Each region comprises a portion wherein a plurality of permanent magnets 12 are disposed in a circumferential direction and a portion wherein no permanent magnets 12 are disposed. Each permanent magnet is disposed inclined against a radial line extending outwardly from the rotating axis.
