  • Patent number: 9722213
    Abstract: When a coating film 4 is formed on a substrate 1, on which elements 3 are formed, by an ALD film forming method or the like, the coating film 4 is partially removed in a simple step. A method for manufacturing an electronic device includes a step of coating the substrate 1 partially with a partially coating member 2, a step of forming the elements 3 on the substrate 1, a step of forming the coating film 4 on the substrate 1 to cover the elements 3 and the partially coating member 2, and a step of forming a crack 4A in the coating film 4 on the partially coating member 2.

  • Patent number: 9082736
    Abstract: An organic EL panel forms at least one organic EL element on a substrate. The organic EL element has a laminating structure in which an organic layer including a light-emitting layer is arranged between an anode and a cathode. A light-emitting region in which the organic EL element is formed and a wiring region in which a wiring electrode is formed are formed on the substrate, the wiring electrode is drawn out from the light-emitting region and is electrically connected to the anode or the cathode of the organic EL element, and the wiring electrode has a planarly R shaped portion having a rounded corner at the end part on the side of the organic EL element.

  • Patent number: 8593054
    Abstract: An image display element includes: a front panel; a back panel opposite thereto; a plurality of pixels arranged between both the panels; and plural electrodes for controlling the pixels. The panels are bonded with the pixels and the electrodes interposed therebetween, and the electrodes are connected to a driving circuit via metal film wires. The back panel is divided so as to expose electrode terminals, and a groove part V-shaped in cross section is formed at the divided portion. The metal film wires are formed on the top surface of the back panel, and the electrode terminals and the metal film wires are connected by a conductive paste coated along the tilt surfaces forming the groove part. Partitions are disposed between the adjacent electrode terminals at the bottom of the groove part.

  • Patent number: 7791504
    Abstract: A rotary encoder includes a case made of insulating resin, a rotatable operation shaft, a slidable brush fixed to the operation shaft, and a signal contact embedded in a surface of the case. The slidable brush has a contacting section slidable on a surface of the case on a predetermined circumference according to a rotation of the operation shaft. The signal contact has an upper surface flush with the surface of the case, a first side surface connected to the upper surface at a first corner having a right angle, a second side surface connected to the upper surface at a second corner having a right angle, and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The first and side surfaces are positioned on the predetermined circumference. The lower surface has a width smaller than a width of the upper surface. This rotary encoder has a small size and outputs a signal precisely.

  • Patent number: 7507919
    Abstract: A multi-directional input device includes an operating shaft capable of rotating around a central axis thereof and tilting in multiple directions from the central axis; a rotating body rotating together with the operating shaft to sequentially connect or disconnect a slide contact and a fixed contact; and a plurality of horizontal push switches operable by tilting the operating shaft. The engaging surface between the operating shaft and the rotating body forms a curved surface having both arc element and noncircular element. The operating shaft and the rotating body are always in contact with each other in a large area. Thus, in both tilting and rotating operation, even an extended period of use causes less abrasion.
