  • Patent number: 9885898
    Abstract: In a front panel in which a design sheet, a touch panel, and a metal sheet are integrated, the touch panel is bonded to a back face of the design sheet with an optical transparent double-sided tape. The metal sheet is formed in a frame shape to surround a periphery of the touch panel and to have an outer shape which is identical to an outer shape of the design sheet and is bonded to the back face of the design sheet with an adhesive or a double-sided tape.

  • Patent number: 9658729
    Abstract: A touch panel is configured so that a lower glass substrate with a very low thermal expansion coefficient, as its lower substrate, projects outwardly from outer edges of an upper film substrate. Since a front design sheet is secured to the lower glass substrate, a housing, which is a molded article, need not be provided with any area for the fixation of the front design sheet. Thus, the distance from the contour of a display unit to a display area can be reduced, so that the display unit can be reduced in size.

  • Patent number: 9540205
    Abstract: A sheet sorting apparatus includes a discharge port through which sheets are discharged, a stacking tray on which the sheets discharged from the discharge port are stacked, a sheet sorting member provided on a stacking surface on which the sheets of the stacking tray are stacked, and an operation mechanism for operating the sheet sorting member. The sheet sorting member is provided to be able to rise from the stacking surface by employing one end of the sheet sorting member as a pivot point, at a position at which the sheets fall from the discharge port. The sheet sorting member rises from the stacking surface by the operation mechanism, thereby forming an inclined surface, guiding the sheets placed on the inclined surface along the inclined surface, and shifting the sheets stacked on the stacking tray to a discharge direction of the sheets and a direction perpendicular to the discharge direction.
