  • Patent number: 7306346
    Abstract: Inside surround desiccant pattern A surrounding an organic EL element by bonding an element substrate to a sealing board, outside surround desiccant pattern C surrounding the inside surround desiccant pattern A, and internal desiccant pattern (having a thinner film thickness than the inside surround desiccant pattern A) surrounded by the inside surround desiccant pattern A are formed on the sealing board by one time screen printing. For this purpose, a screen mask is utilized on which opening patterns for the inside and outside surround desiccant patterns A, C and an opening pattern having a narrower opening width than the opening patterns for A and C for forming an internal desiccant pattern are formed. With this configuration, it has been achieved to manufacture a highly reliable organic EL display apparatus in more simplified process.

  • Patent number: 7045944
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image display apparatus having a construction such that ultraviolet rays irradiated from a second substrate side are prevented from propagating through a first substrate to reach its display area by providing a picture-frame resin film for shielding ultraviolet rays on that area of the first substrate that is to be sealed to the second substrate with a sealant. Thereby, when the sealant for sealing the substrates is cured by irradiation of ultraviolet rays, photo deterioration of organic materials constituting emitting layered products and semiconductor layers constituting active elements both of which are formed on the display area may be prevented, and a high-reliability and high-performance image display apparatus may be realized.

  • Patent number: 6188546
    Abstract: The magnetic head assembly including a magnetic head having a terminal composed of a conductive film and a supporting spring. The supporting spring has interconnecting patterns (lines) on the top thereof and a projective electrode. The terminal of the magnetic head is electrically connected to the projective electrode of the supporting spring by a solderless, direct contact connection. The magnetic head is fixed to the supporting spring by using a non-electrical bonding agent. This structure makes it possible to stabilize the position of the magnetic head assembly and the relative speed variation between the magnetic head element and the magnetic disk, thereby enhancing the reliability of the magnetic disk apparatus.
