  • Patent number: 8174632
    Abstract: A stereoscopic liquid crystal display includes an LCD panel with an upper substrate, a lower substrate disposed opposite the upper substrate, and a liquid crystal material between the upper and lower substrates. A lenticular plate is disposed above the LCD panel. An hole is formed in the lenticular plate. The hole provides and air conduit that communicates in a space between a surface of the LCD panel and a surface of the lenticular plate. The hole is configured to facilitate evacuation of air from the space between LCD panel and the lenticular plate. A sealant material is disposed in a predetermined pattern between the surfaces of the LCD panel and the lenticular plate. Air is evacuated through the hole and a vacuum is formed in the space between the LCD panel and the lenticular plate.

  • Publication number: 20120011880
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling apparatus including a non-freezing apparatus which can be installed in a refrigerating chamber or a refrigerating chamber door and stably store food in a non-frozen state. A cooling apparatus includes a freezing chamber, a refrigerating chamber, a freezing chamber door, a refrigerating chamber door, and a non-freezing apparatus installed in the refrigerating chamber or the refrigerating chamber door and storing food in a non-frozen state. In the non-freezing apparatus, since a lower space is cooled by the cool air introduced from the freezing chamber and an upper space is cooled by the atmosphere of the refrigerating chamber, it is possible to reduce a heating value of a heater which is operated to maintain the temperature of the upper space to be higher than that of the lower space.
