  • Patent number: 11934057
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer including polymers and liquid crystal molecules, and a light-emitting element. The first substrate includes a transparent substrate, a scanning line, a signal line crossing the scanning line, a switching element electrically connected to the scanning line and the signal line, an organic insulating film overlapping the switching element, and a pixel electrode electrically connected to the switching element. A thickness of the organic insulating film located between the transparent substrate and the pixel electrode is less than a thickness of the organic insulating film overlapping the switching element.

  • Patent number: 11927842
    Abstract: A display device includes: an array substrate; a counter substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the counter substrate; and a light source. The array substrate includes: signal lines; scanning lines; a grid-shaped organic insulating layer that extends along the scanning lines and the signal lines and overlies the scanning lines and the signal lines; pixel electrodes provided in regions surrounded by the scanning lines and the signal lines; and a first orientation film that covers the pixel electrodes. A portion of each pixel electrodes overlaps a slant surface of the organic insulating layer. The counter substrate includes: a common electrode overlapping the respective pixel electrodes; a protective film that has an insulating capability and a light transmitting capability and covers a side of the common electrode facing the array substrate at least in the display region; and a second orientation film that covers the protective film.

  • Patent number: 9865805
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a magnetoresistive element, including a step of forming a tunnel barrier layer, wherein the step of forming the tunnel barrier layer includes a deposition step of depositing a metal film on top of a substrate, and an oxidation step of subjecting the metal film to an oxidation process. The oxidation step includes holding the substrate having Mg formed thereon, on a substrate holder in a processing container in which the oxidation process is performed, supplying an oxygen gas to the substrate by introducing the oxygen gas into the processing container, at a temperature at which Mg does not sublime, and heating the substrate after the introduction of the oxygen gas.

  • Patent number: 5319065
    Abstract: There is provided a process for producing a polycarbonate resin containing less amounts of a terminal OH group and a residual monomer and having excellent heat resistance efficiently with a simple equipment. Said process comprises emulsifying an oligomer-containing reaction mixture obtained by the reaction of an alkaline aqueous solution of an aromatic dihydroxy compound with phosgene in the presence of an organic solvent, after adding a molecular weight modifier thereto, and performing polymerization while the reaction mixture is allowed to stand still in the emulsified state.
