  • Patent number: 11400695
    Abstract: The invention provides a laminating acrylic thermoplastic polymer composition which is favorably laminated together with a layer including a plasticizer-containing polymer composition while ensuring that the migration of the plasticizer into the acrylic thermoplastic polymer composition layer is small and the resultant laminate attains excellent durability, and also provides a laminate obtained by laminating a layer including the laminating acrylic thermoplastic polymer composition onto one or both sides of a layer including the plasticizer-containing polymer composition. Further, the invention provides a polymer composition which, when the plasticizer-containing polymer described above is a vinyl chloride-based polymer, can keep sufficient adhesive force after being adhered to a layer including such a vinyl chloride-based polymer, and also provides an adhesive product using the composition.

  • Patent number: 11086062
    Abstract: A circumferentially light-emitting thermoplastic resin molded body which can be bent for use according to the type of optical ornaments or the shape of an object to be decorated and which allows the overall luminance of the emitted light to improve and restrains the luminescent color from being yellowed at the distal locations of such body with regard to the light source. The thermoplastic resin molded body has a core layer made from a thermoplastic elastomer; and a first clad layer made from a thermoplastic resin whose refractive index is smaller than the thermoplastic elastomer from which the core layer is made, in which a light diffusing agent is added to the thermoplastic elastomer from which the core layer is made and the thermoplastic resin from which the first clad layer is made respectively; and the total light transmittance of the first clad layer is defined as less than 70%.

The points a, b, c, and d are four random points that are located on the circumference of the tube on any cross section in the axial direction of the tube, and are aligned in the stated order in a circumferential direction. Rea, Reb, Rec, and Red respectively indicate retardations at the points a, b, c, and d. The tube satisfies the following condition (3): (3) (10-point standard deviation/10-point average)×100?2 in the respective sets A, B, C, and D. Each of the sets A, B, C, and D includes retardations at ten random points present in a range between the point a, b, c, or d and a point 5 mm away from that point in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 10691003
    Abstract: Provided is a technique capable of achieving a manually-operated lens shift mechanism in a space-saving manner in regard to a projection type image display apparatus. The lens shift mechanism includes a first base, a second base, a third base to which a projection lens is fixed, a first shift portion moves the projection lens in a vertical direction by moving the second base in the vertical direction with respect to the first base, and a second shift portion which moves the projection lens in a horizontal direction by moving the third base in the horizontal direction with respect to the second base. The first shift portion is arranged along the vertical direction to be coaxial with a first manual operation portion and a first rotation shaft. The second shift portion is arranged along the vertical direction to be coaxial with a second manual operation portion and a second rotation shaft.

  • Patent number: 10642137
    Abstract: A lens shift mechanism 32 of the projection-type image display device 10 includes a horizontal movable base 60 for horizontally shifting a projection lens 31, a vertical movable base 70 for vertically shifting the projection lens 31, and a horizontal drive actuator 61 and a vertical drive actuator 71 for driving these bases 60, 70. Driving forces of these actuators 61, 71 are transmitted via respective lead screws 671 (751) and a pair of lead nuts 672, 672b (752, 752b) meshing with the lead screws to shift the bases 60, 70. A pair of lead nuts are installed with elastic bodies 672c (752c) applying a pressure such that the pair of lead nuts recede from or approach each other in the axial direction of the lead screw. In this configuration, a delay in the shift operation is removed by reducing a backlash in the lens movement.
