  • Patent number: 9103970
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical layered body that has multiple laminated layers of which the refractive indexes are greatly different. The optical layered body can suitably prevent interfacial reflection and interference fringes attributed to the reflection in the interfaces between the layers. The optical layered body has a light-transmitting substrate, and at least an optical functional layer (1) on one surface of the substrate, wherein the refractive index of the optical functional layer (1) in the thickness direction continuously increases from the surface on the light-transmitting substrate side to the surface opposite to the light-transmitting substrate side to show a sigmoid curve.

  • Patent number: 7529380
    Abstract: A multifunction-type vibration actuator and a mobile terminal device capable of decreasing the lowest acoustic resonance frequency and preventing breakage of a coil lead as well as improving acoustic characteristics and preventing sound leaks. A portion near the outer periphery of a diaphragm 3 is bent to form a rising portion 3b extending along an inner periphery 1a of a housing 1 toward an open end thereof. This rising portion 3b serves as a corrugation to decrease the lowest resonance frequency and the amplitude of vibration of which a fulcrum is served by the rising portion 3b is not so large as that of the corrugation. Accordingly, the coil lead of a voice coil 4 is not easily broken. Furthermore, an extending portion 3c is formed to extend outward along a flat surface 1b formed at the open end of a housing 1 from a rising portion 3b. This enlarges the entire radius of the diaphragm 3 and improves the acoustic characteristics.
