  • Patent number: 6952246
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes plural reflective electrodes supplied with a video signal, second light-blocking conductive films below the reflective electrodes with a first insulating layer therebetween, and a first light-blocking film below the second light-blocking conductive films so as to cover spacing between the second light-blocking conductive films. Each of the second light-blocking films is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the reflective electrodes, and is disposed to cover at least a portion of spacings between the corresponding one of the reflective electrodes and ones of the reflective electrodes adjacent thereto. A second insulating layer is interposed between the first and second light-blocking films, and its thickness is from 150 nm to 450 nm.

  • Publication number: 20030107698
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device which forms pixels and a driving circuit on a same substrate, it is possible to realize the liquid crystal display device which can be easily assembled. A peripheral frame is formed such that the peripheral frame surrounds a display region on which the pixels are formed. The liquid crystal composition is held in the inside of the peripheral frame. A sealing material is filled into the outside of the peripheral frame with an equal width. Inside the peripheral frame, a driving circuit forming region is provided. A liquid crystal panel is housed in a package. A housing portion is closed by a light shielding frame. The light shielding frame is configured to also perform the light shielding of the driving circuit forming region in the inside of the peripheral frame.

  • Patent number: 5880795
    Abstract: A reflection-type liquid crystal display module has a liquid crystal panel including a first substrate of, for example, a rectangular shape, a second substrate opposed to the first substrate and a liquid crystal layer provided in a space between the first substrate and the second substrate to form a display screen, a package for encasing and holding the liquid crystal panel while maintaining the first substrate in an exposed state and a dichroic prism to which the first substrate is attached. At least two sides each of the first substrate have a side edge extruding outwardly over a corresponding side end of the second substrate. The side edges of the first substrate are fixed between the dichroic prism and the package, whereby the second substrate is supported by the first substrate and not by the package.

  • Patent number: 5673083
    Abstract: A video camera unit is separated into a holder for receiving lenses and a base on which a solid-state image pickup chip is mounted. The holder and the base are assembled together with the distance between them made variable so that it is possible to adjust the back focus of the lens. Further, a video camera unit has a holder which is separated into a first holder for receiving lenses and a second holder for receiving a solid-state image pickup device so that both holders can be assembled together with the distance between them made variable. Therefore, it is also possible to adjust the back focus of the lens.
