Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel that can maintain electrical connection between a transparent conductive film on one of the substrates of the liquid crystal display panel and a terminal on the other substrate and thereby stably eliminate static electricity. The liquid crystal display panel of the present invention includes: a first substrate on which a transparent conductive film is formed; a second substrate on which a terminal whose surface is conductive is formed; a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a conductive member that electrically connects the transparent conductive film and the terminal, the conductive member containing flaky conductive filler particles and a conductive material different from the flaky conductive filler particles.

Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes an upstream side impeller, a downstream side impeller, a motor, and a housing arranged to accommodate the upstream side impeller, the downstream side impeller, and the motor. The housing includes a first intake port through which a gas is drawn from an outside, an exhaust port through which the gas is discharged to the outside, and a flow path defined within the housing to bring the first intake port and the exhaust port into communication with each other. The flow path includes a first wind tunnel portion positioned below the upstream side impeller to extend in a circumferential direction and arranged to receive a gas stream from the upstream side impeller and a second wind tunnel portion positioned above the downstream side impeller to extend in the circumferential direction and arranged to receive a gas stream from the downstream side impeller.

Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes an impeller arranged to rotate about a rotation axis, a motor arranged to rotate the impeller, and a case arranged to accommodate the impeller and the motor. The case includes an upper case, a lower case, and a joint portion at which the upper and lower cases are fixed to each other. An interior of the case includes a first annular space positioned radially outward of the motor. The first annular space includes a second annular space defined by a portion of a space defined by an annularly continuous collection of imaginary circles each of whose diameter is the shortest distance between an inner circumferential edge of the joint portion and a radially outermost circumferential portion of a motor accommodating portion and each of which touches the inner circumferential edge of the joint portion.

Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of dissipating heat with a high degree of efficiency without impairing the strength thereof is provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip 2, a heatsink plate 1 overlapping a rear face of the semiconductor chip 2, and an adhesive 4 for adhesively fixing the semiconductor chip 2 and the heatsink plate 1 to each other. In the rear face of the semiconductor chip 2, there is formed a depressed portion 7 right under a heat generating portion 6 of the semiconductor chip 2. On the front face of the heatsink plate 1, there is formed a protruding portion 8 that is to fit in the depressed portion 7.

Abstract: A fan includes a motor, an impeller mounted to the motor and generating air flow by rotation around a rotation axis thereof, and a housing defining a passage of the air flow and supporting the motor. A wire outlet opening is provided on the housing in a manner axially penetrating the housing, and a lead wire is inserted into the wire outlet opening. A lead wire holding member is inserted into the wire outlet opening into which the lead wire is inserted, the lead wire holding member elastically presses the lead wire to the housing, and a latching portion of the lead wire holding member is latched to a portion of the housing. Therefore, the lead wire holding member fits in the wire outlet opening while firmly holding the lead wire in the wire outlet opening.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a resin-sealed semiconductor device includes the steps of: supporting and fixing a supporting plate in a set of molds using a positioning pin with a sharp pin point which is inserted into the molds to have a predetermined clearance from the supporting plate; injecting a sealing resin 11 into a cavity formed in the molds; and removing the positioning pin from the molds after the sealing resin 11 hardens. This method increases the life of the positioning pin, facilitates the removal of a semiconductor device from the molds, and achieves a semiconductor device with good insulation.
