  • Patent number: 12328818
    Abstract: To mitigate a bending stress in the flexible wiring substrate in a structure, a display panel, to which the flexible wiring substrate connects, is curved along a first direction, and the flexible wiring is bent back to the rear of the display panel. The flexible wiring substrate connects with the display panel at a first region and at a second region; the flexible wiring substrate connects with the wiring substrate at a third region and at a fourth region. The flexible wiring substrate has a narrowest width in the first direction at an intermediate region between the display panel and the wiring substrate. A first wiring group in the flexible wiring substrate connects the first region with the third region or the fourth region, a second wiring group in the flexible wiring substrate connects the second region with another one of the third region or the fourth region.

  • Publication number: 20240213850
    Abstract: A gear mechanism has an input shaft and transmits rotation of the input shaft. A generator generates electric power in response to the rotation transmitted by the gear mechanism. A pendulum is connected to the input shaft of the gear mechanism. A frame is provided at a fixed position relative to the gear mechanism and the generator. A elastic body supports the pendulum with respect to the frame so as to generate a restoring force to a predetermined position. The pendulum swings about the input shaft of the gear mechanism in response to shaking of a whole of an electromechanical apparatus, or in response to the restoring force of the elastic body, and the generator generates the electric power in response to swinging of the pendulum.
