Patent number: 7777733Abstract: Proving a touch panel having a superior transparent visibility, easy to manufacture and of low cost, to be used for various electronic devices. In manufacturing, forming a notch with an adhesive layer formed on an undersurface of an under substrate, under a connecting portion of the under substrate with a wiring substrate. After applying rollers for short a period of time for almost completely removing bubbles between the under substrate and the adhesive layer, adhering such under substrate to an upper substrate. Finally heating and pressing the connecting portion, connecting the wiring substrate to the substrates, obtaining the touch panel having a superior transparent visibility, easy to manufacture and of low cost.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yasutaka Yamamoto, Hirofumi Komiya

Patent number: 7679608Abstract: The touch panel has a light-transmissive upper substrate, a light-transmissive lower substrate, and a bonding layer. The lower surface of the upper substrate is formed thereon with an upper conductive layer. The top surface of the lower substrate is formed thereon with a lower conductive layer facing the upper conductive layer with an air gap. The bonding layer is formed on at least one of inner edges of the lower surface of the upper substrate and the top surface of the lower substrate, and additionally has an open groove communicating with the air gap. The makeup provides a touch panel reliably operable with a simple structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2005Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Tetsuo Murakami, Nobuhiro Yamaue, Akira Nakanishi, Hirofumi Komiya, Yoshiharu Abe

Patent number: 6777626Abstract: Disclosed are a compact input device that offers a wide space for input operation and portable equipment using the device. The input operation section of the input device is not only for data entry by users, but also for transmitting sound vibration. The coupling section of the device is coupled to the input operation section to form a closed cavity between the two sections. The sound vibration transmitting section, which is formed adjacent to the closed cavity, conveys sound vibration, via the closed cavity, from the input operation section to the sound vibration transmitting section (or vice versa). The portable equipment includes the aforementioned input device and a sound vibration element. In the equipment, the sound vibration element is coupled to the sound vibration transmitting section of the input device. Sound vibration is transmitted, via the closed cavity and sound vibration transmitting section of the input device, from input operation section to the vibration element (or vice versa).Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2003Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenicni Takabatake, Toshiharu Fukui, Kenichi Matsumoto, Koji Tanabe, Hirofumi Komiya

Patent number: 5588092Abstract: A printer controller for use with a thermal printer. A thermal printer used as a computer terminal printer requires a high printing speed and high print-quality in addition to reducing the load on the computer terminal. The printer controller of the present invention integrates the complicated control functions of the electrical components of a thermal printer, (i.e. thermal-head, motor, and various sensors) into an integrated circuit or a one-chip IC. Printers incorporating this controller attain highly improved and simplified operability and miniaturized dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1993Date of Patent: December 24, 1996Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirofumi Komiya, Keita Sakai, Kazumine Koshi, Noriyuki Saito
