  • Publication number: 20120092309
    Abstract: It is a main object of the invention to provide an image display device and an information processing device that can be incorporated in the computer main body of a notebook computer, etc., and can project an image at any desired angle when the image is projected onto a screen. To accomplish the object, the invention provides an image display device including a first unit for storing an optical system for displaying an image on a screen and a second unit for storing a control board for controlling the optical system, electrically connecting to the first unit, and holding the first unit for rotation. The first and second units are housed in a housing space formed in an information processing device. When the image is projected onto the screen, the first unit is completely exposed from the information processing device and at least a part of the second unit is stored in the information processing device.

  • Patent number: 5455998
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an ink jet head which involves the steps of casting a first synthetic film on a metal film, etching the conductive metal to produce a pair of etched electrodes facing each other across an opening according to lithography and etching techniques, casting a second synthetic resin film being transparent on the etched electrodes and the first synthetic resin film, ablating both the first and second synthetic resin films with an excimer laser without damaging the electrodes to form both an expelling nozzle which penetrates the second synthetic resin film and an ink passageway which penetrates the first synthetic resin film through the opening, attaching an ink holding cap to the first synthetic resin film to hold conductive ink in a hollow portion thereof, and electrically connecting the etched electrodes with a voltage generator through electrical leads for applying a voltage generated in the voltage generator to the etched electrodes, wherein the etched electrodes project into the expel

  • Patent number: 5444474
    Abstract: An ink-jet cartridge for ink-jet printers includes a nozzle-cleaning mechanism built in the cartridge itself for removing residual ink and foreign matter, such as dust and dirt including paper powder, from nozzles. Since the built-in nozzle-cleaning mechanism is replaced automatically when the cartridge is replaced, and since the replacement of the cartridge generally takes place before the nozzle-cleaning mechanism deteriorates mainly due to contamination with ink, the nozzles are always kept clean and a reliable printing operation with high quality printing is insured throughout the service life of the cartridge.
