  • Patent number: 9864226
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device, there is provided a liquid crystal display panel in which a TFT substrate and a counter substrate are bonded together by a sealing material, with a liquid crystal sandwiched between the substrates. Further, a front window with a black border print formed in the periphery is bonded to the liquid crystal display panel by a UV curable resin. The liquid crystal is filled by a drop method. The thickness of the TFT substrate and the counter substrate is reduced to about 0.2 mm by polishing. An inner end of the black border print of the front window is inside an inner end of the sealing material, to prevent the counter substrate of the liquid crystal display panel from being deformed by stress generated in the curing of the UV curable resin, thereby preventing yellow discoloration in the periphery of the display area.

  • Publication number: 20160091707
    Abstract: From a first image indicating an intensity distribution of radiation from a subject 5 in a first wavelength region and a second image indicating an intensity distribution of radiation from the subject in a second wavelength region, a surgical microscope system 1 obtains image data of a third image indicating a position of a target substance. Output data obtained by superposing the image data of the third image onto form image data further includes information indicating the target substance in addition to the image indicating the surface form of the subject 5. Therefore, the position of the target substance existing on the inside of a tissue can be grasped non-invasively by referring to the output data.
