Abstract: In displaying a price label, the price can be displayed at low resolution without any problem, but a bar code requires a high resolution display. In view of this, the invention provides an electrode structure for a display apparatus that can suppress increases in cost and power consumption while preventing image quality degradation, even when a low-resolution display area and a high-resolution display area are mixed on the same display. A liquid crystal panel 10 has a main display section 11 and a sub-display section 12. In the main display section 11, pixels are arranged in a matrix pattern. In the sub display section 12, rectangle-shaped pixels are arranged in a single row, and the pixel pitch in the sub display section 12 is m/n of that in the main display section 11 (n and m are integers).

There are also provided a transparent electrode on an entire surface of a second substrate, and an alignment layer on the transparent electrode, wherein the first and second alignment layers are subjected to a parallel aligning treatment. The first substrate and the second substrate are bonded to each other while keeping a given internal by gap members disposed outside the annular transparent electrodes, and a nematic liquid crystal is sealed in a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate.

Abstract: A method for installing an electroconductive flooring and an electroconductive welding rod for use in this method are disclosed. The electroconductive welding rod is composed of a joint material including as the main component a thermoplastic resin composition of a ribbon-shape or a rod-shape, with the peripheral surface thereof being coated with an electroconductive coating material. The method for installing the electroconductive flooring is composed of the steps of laying flooring sheets in mutual contact and cutting joint-forming grooves, or laying the flooring sheets with spaces therebetween for the formation of the joints of the adjacent flooring sheets, softening the electroconductive welding rod, filling the softened electroconductive welding rod into the grooves or the spaces between the flooring sheets, and welding the adjacent flooring sheets to form joints, whereby the flooring sheets are electrically integrated.

Abstract: A self-crosslinking composition contains: (a) an oil having an unsaturated fatty acid or an ester of an unsaturated fatty acid as one of its components, (b) a drier, and (c) a polymer or an elastomer that is capable of crosslinking in the absence of a peroxide. A forming (such as a floor tile, a linoleum long floor material, a wall material and a water-proof sheet) may be manufactured by forming and curing the self crosslinking composition and then adding a filler. Since the self-crosslinking composition is capable of crosslinking without using peroxide, the crosslinking reaction is easily conducted without using special equipment to reject air. The composition has a number of advantages over crosslinking methods that use peroxide, including decreased scorch generation, decreased permanent compressive strain, and superior heat resistance and anti-aging resistance. The composition is free from pollution of sulfur and metal and generates no harmful gas during waste incineration.

Abstract: This process of forming ornamental joints comprises sticking a sheet flooring material onto a floor base, thereafter drawing two parallel standard lines on this stuck sheet flooring material with a desired outline and an interval corresponding to the width of the joint, sliding a cutter on the sheet flooring material along this standard line thereby to draw two parallel cuts on this flooring material, stripping the sheet flooring material between these cuts to thereby form a joint-forming grooved portion provided with a masking along side edges of stuck sheet flooring material and charging this grooved portion with a joint material. This process permits to obtain various patterned ornamental joints.

Abstract: An IC chip is connected to terminal portions of conductive films on a lower substrate of a liquid crystal display panel by face down bonding. The IC chip and conductive films are coated with resin to protect the IC chip and films.

Abstract: A laminated bituminous roofing membrane including: (i) a fibrous sheet; (ii) a first bituminous layer laminated on one surface of the fibrous sheet, the bituminous layer being composed of bitumen or a bituminous mixture; (iii) a synthetic resin sheet or film laminated on the other surface, opposite to the surface laminated to the fibrous sheet, of the first bituminous layer; (iv) a second bituminous layer laminated on the other surface of the fibrous sheet, the bituminous layer being composed of bitumen or a bituminous mixture; and (v) a mineral aggregate layer deposited on the opposite surface of the second bituminous layer.This laminated bituminous roofing membrane can be readily and directly applied in a cold-application process on a substrate to form a waterproofing layer in which the joint portions of adjacent roofing membranes are completely water-tightly bonded and the formation of blistering and deterioration due to the presence of moisture or water from the substrate is prevented.

Abstract: This process of forming ornamental joints comprises sticking a sheet flooring material onto a floor base, thereafter drawing one desirably outlined standard line on the thus stuck sheet flooring material, then sliding one cutting blade of a cutter with a pair of cutting blades, disposed leaving a space corresponding to the joint width therebetween, on the sheet flooring material along the standard line to thereby form two parallel cuts on the flooring material, stripping the sheet flooring material between these cuts to thereby form a groove for forming a joint, and charging the grooved portion with a joint material. According to the process like this, there can be obtained ornamental joints of various patterns.
