Abstract: In a method of forming a thin light guide plate which includes a compression step in an injection molding step, an optical pattern is liable to be adhered to a mold. Further, in removing the light guide plate from the mold using an ejector pin, a stress is concentrated on a local area of the light guide plate thus generating warping, deformation or irregularities in size of the light guide plate. To overcome such drawbacks, a liquid crystal display device is configured such that an optical pattern portion is compressed, and the light guide plate is removed by making use of a peripheral portion of a mold thus preventing the generation of stress in a local area of the light guide plate due to an ejector pin.

Abstract: In a backlight which arranges light emitting diodes on a side surface of a light guide plate, even when the light emitting diodes having a thickness larger than a thickness of the light guide plate are used, it is possible to manufacture the light guide plate with high accuracy by injection molding. In a liquid crystal display device having a backlight which radiates light to a liquid crystal panel, LEDs are mounted on the light guide plate formed on the backlight as a light emitting element, and an S-shaped inclined portion whose thickness is not changed is formed on the light guide plate from a light incident surface to a light emitting surface of the light guide plate. Since the thickness of the inclined portion is not changed, it is possible to make the pressure of resin flow at the time of performing injection molding uniform thus manufacturing the light guide plate with high accuracy.

Abstract: The profile lines of plate-like grid electrodes are formed by a first punching step and separation lines of the plate-like grid electrodes are formed by a subsequent punching step. The angle of a crossing portion formed by the profile line and the separation line is set to not less than 70 degrees and not more than 110 degrees. Due to such a constitution, burrs on the plate-like grid electrode which constitutes an electron gun of a color cathode ray tube can be reduced so that the quality of the cathode ray tube can be enhanced and the manufacturing time of the cathode ray tube can be shortened.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube has a phosphor screen and an electron gun. The electron gun includes an electron beam generating section and an electron beam focusing section for focusing an electron beam from the electron beam generating section onto the phosphor screen. The electron beam generating section and the electron beam focusing section are mounted in predetermined spaced relationship on plural insulator support rods. The electron beam focusing section includes at least one compound electrode formed of a first electrode member, a second electrode member and a plate-like electrode member sandwiched therebetween. The plate-like electrode member is fabricated from a material thicker than materials from which the first and second electrode members are fabricated. The plate-like electrode member is laser-welded to the first and second electrode members at points of edges of the first and second electrode members.

Abstract: The present invention provides a color cathode ray tube which can make the focusing of a center electron beam and side electron beams uniform by reducing the non-uniformity of the spot shape of electron beams depending on a deflection quantity.
