  • Patent number: 11152589
    Abstract: An organic EL device (1) includes: a first substrate (11); a second substrate (12); one or more organic EL elements; and a sealing layer (14). One surface of the first substrate (11) is a mounting surface on which the one or more organic EL elements are disposed. The first substrate (11) and the second substrate (12) are laminated in such a manner that the mounting surface of the first substrate (11) and one surface of the second substrate (12) face each other with the sealing layer (14) interposed therebetween. The second substrate (12) has at least one recessed part (16) and at least one protruding part (15) in a region inside the sealing layer (14) on the surface of the second substrate (12) facing the first substrate (11), and the moisture absorbent (19) is disposed in the recessed part (16).

  • Patent number: 10631449
    Abstract: A tape processing method of reusing an opened component supplying tape used in a tape feeder which conveys the component supplying tape provided with a carrier tape including a plurality of component storing portions and a cover tape toward a component take out position, the tape feeder being configured to open a cover tape and convey the component supplying tape. The method includes steps of: repairing the component supplying tape by closing an opened portion of the cover tape and fixing by a repair tape to be returned to a state in which the component storing portion is covered by the cover tape; and cutting the component supplying tape at a predetermined cut position far away toward a downstream side in the conveying direction from a position of a head component located at the most downstream side in the conveying direction.

  • Patent number: 10249842
    Abstract: The present invention provides an organic EL device that can prevent an organic EL layer(s) from being damaged when the organic EL device is bent. An organic EL device (10) of the present invention includes: a first substrate (11); a second substrate (12); one or more organic EL elements; and a sealing layer (14). Each of the one or more organic EL elements includes an organic EL layer (13) and a pair of electrodes (16, 17). One surface of the first substrate (11) is a mounting surface on which the one or more organic EL elements are disposed. The first substrate (11) and the second substrate (12) are laminated in such a manner that the mounting surface of the first substrate (11) and one surface of the second substrate (12) face each other with the sealing layer (14) interposed therebetween.

  • Patent number: 7503366
    Abstract: The invention provides a component feeding device where heat generation of a drive circuit is minimized and a printed board mounted with this drive circuit is miniaturized by forming an inexpensive structure using a single microcomputer and by energizing each of the servomotors only when necessary. In a component feeding unit of a dual lane type, a CPU in a microcomputer controls a start of driving of one of servomotors by energizing the servomotor through a drive circuit based on a component feeding signal for one lane outputted from a CPU of an electronic component mounting apparatus, and the CPU in the microcomputer controls one of the servomotors so that the servomotor is not energized when a component feeding signal for another lane is inputted before a predetermine time passes after a delay timer starts timekeeping when receiving a detection signal about rotation of the servomotor by a predetermined amount from an encoder detecting a rotation amount of the servomotor.

  • Patent number: 7216790
    Abstract: In a component feeding apparatus, forwarding pitches of the storage tape are reduced without using an alternative forwarding gear corresponding to the reduced pitches. The component feeding apparatus feeds chip components by intermittently forwarding the storage tape having the chip components by predetermined pitches. Thy apparatus has a sprocket for intermittently forwarding the storage tape, a forwarding gear supported by the same axis as that of the sprocket and rotating together with the sprocket, a forwarding lever turnably supported, and first and second forwarding pawls both attached to the forwarding lever. Every time the forwarding lever turns in a predetermined direction, the first forwarding pawl and the second forwarding pawl engage with the forwarding gear alternately to rotate the forwarding gear by half a tooth pitch.
