Publication number: 20030011737Abstract: A glass substrate of a display panel onto which an organic electroluminescence (EL) element or the like is formed is sealed by affixing the glass substrate and a sealing member such as a sealing glass onto which an adhesive has been applied. During this process, the temperature of the adhesive is controlled by, for example, controlling the temperature of the nitrogen gas to fill a chamber through a temperature adjusting device, so that the viscosity of the adhesive is adjusted. In this manner, quick and precise sealing of the display substrate by the sealing member and the adhesive can be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2002Publication date: January 16, 2003Inventor: Hideki Matsuoka

Publication number: 20030006003Abstract: A glass substrate of a display panel onto which an organic electroluminescence (EL) element or the like is formed is sealed by affixing the glass substrate and a sealing glass via an adhesive therebetween. During this process, a pressure is applied between the glass substrate and the sealing glass so that a gap between the affixing surfaces achieves a target value and the adhesive is cured. The pressure is changed over time based on conditions such as the viscosity of the adhesive so that quick and precise sealing by the adhesive can be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2002Publication date: January 9, 2003Inventor: Hideki Matsuoka

Publication number: 20020192576Abstract: After a gate line (11), a TFT (1), and a data line (30) are formed, a riblike protective insulation layer (32) which coats the data line is formed on a substrate (10) serving as the element substrate of an active matrix type color liquid crystal display device or an organic EL display device. A color filter layer (42) on a transfer film (40) is press-bonded on this substrate (10) with a roller (46) moving in the extensional direction (columnar direction) of the protecting insulation layer (32). The advancement of the transfer of a color filter in the columnar direction makes it possible to bring the substrate and the color filter in contact without gaps while expelling the gas out of a pixel space in the advancement direction. During the step of forming a color filter, the protecting insulation layer (32) protects the data line (30) from the treatment liquid etc. An organic light emitting element layer is arranged in the pixel space to form an organic EL display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2002Publication date: December 19, 2002Inventors: Hideki Matsuoka, Kazuyuki Maeda

Patent number: 6422546Abstract: An active vibration isolating support device for preventing the direct transmission of vibrations from an engine to a vehicle body frame includes an electromagnetic actuator for driving a movable member in a reciprocating fashion to change the capacity of a first liquid chamber. A shaft portion of an armature driven by a coil is supported by a bearing so that it moves along an axis, whereby the size of an air gap can be maintained as small as possible, thereby making it possible to miniaturize the coil. In addition, a connecting rod for connecting the movable member with the armature is supported so as to sway relative to a coil spring and a saucer spring, whereby the vibration of the movable member is prevented from being transmitted to the shaft portion of the armature.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2000Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hirotomi Nemoto, Ken Iinuma, Tsutomu Ogawa, Hideki Matsuoka, Tetsuo Mikasa, Satoshi Watanabe

Patent number: 6400438Abstract: A glass board used in the production of liquid crystal panels includes a matrix of individual substrates. Each of the substrates has a contact portion of an electrode formed on one of its principle surfaces. The individual substrates are spaced from each other so that the contact portions of adjacent substrates are not in contact with each other. Thus, when the individual substrates are cut, the contact portions are not weakened and contaminants are prevented from getting between the contact portions and the substrates.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1998Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignees: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., Sony CorporationInventors: Kazuto Noritake, Masahiko Kawabe, Hideki Matsuoka, Minoru Nakano

Publication number: 20020063836Abstract: A display panel body (110) is formed with a thermosetting seal material disposed in an outer peripheral region of a display area between a pair of substrates (10), and a thermally conductive buffer plate (300) is disposed on the side of the display panel body (110) opposite to the side where the substrates face each other. The buffer plate (300) is aligned such that an opening (302) therein overlaps each display area, and such that a lattice member (301) thereof overlaps the region where the seal material is disposed. The panel body (110) is pressed and heated from outside through the buffer plate (300), thereby heating and curing the thermosetting seal material. Because the display area overlaps the opening of the buffer plate, pressing of this area when the seal is cured can be prevented, thereby preventing the substrate from flexing at the display area of the display panel 110 provided with no spacers.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2001Publication date: May 30, 2002Applicant: SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Norio Oku, Hideki Matsuoka, Kazuyuki Maeda

Publication number: 20020027633Abstract: The response speed of liquid crystal is enhanced by reducing a distance d between a longer side (42) of a display electrode and a linear portion (51) of an orientation control window (50). On the other hand, a larger orientation control window (50) (corresponding to a smaller distance d) results in undesirable decrease in contrast of the liquid crystal. Further, the effect of increase in response speed is diminished when the distance d is smaller than the range of 25 &mgr;m to 30 &mgr;m. Therefore, the distance d is preferably in the range of 25 &mgr;m to 30 &mgr;m, and the window (50) preferably has a width of 7 &mgr;m. An LCD configured to satisfy the above conditions allows improvement in contrast and response speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2001Publication date: March 7, 2002Applicant: SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Hideki Matsuoka, Yoshiki Tanaka, Masashi Mitsui

Publication number: 20020011282Abstract: A steel sheet for heat shrink band of the present invention has anhysteretic magnetic permeability of 15,000 or higher at 0.35 Oe and yield stress of 24 kgf/mm2 or more. The steel sheet can be manufactured by a method comprising the steps of: hot rolling and/or cold rolling a steel containing 0.01 to 0.15% C by weight; annealing the rolled steel sheet at a temperature ranging from 650 to 900° C.; and temper rolling the annealed steel sheet at a rolling reduction rate of 1.5% or less. A CRT made of the steel sheet causes very little color deviation and practically no deformation of the panel surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2001Publication date: January 31, 2002Inventors: Tatsuhiko Hiratani, Hideki Matsuoka, Yasushi Tanaka, Reiko Sugihara

Patent number: 6287012Abstract: A roller bearing retainer comprising a substantially ring-shaped member having a plurality of ball pockets formed thereon to hold rolling members. Each ball pocket has a flat portion formed at its bottom portion and an opening portion extending from the flat portion of the retainer's ball pockets for receiving a rolling member. Each rolling member is held by a ball pocket having the flat portion whereby movement of the rolling member is suppressed. At the same time, a sufficient gap may be formed between the rolling member and a concave surface other than the flat portion. Thus, lubrication oil may readily be placed into the gap.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1999Date of Patent: September 11, 2001Assignee: Minebea Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hideki Matsuoka
