Abstract: A vehicle communication device includes a vehicle-side communication unit mounted in a vehicle and configured to communicate with a portable terminal device, an operation detection unit configured to detect that a user performs a first operation on an operation target different from the portable terminal device, and a vehicle-side control unit configured to control an in-vehicle device mounted in the vehicle on the basis of input information received from the portable terminal device by the vehicle-side communication unit. The vehicle-side control unit controls the vehicle-side communication unit so that instruction information for causing the portable terminal device to display an input screen for remotely controlling the in-vehicle device serving as a target of a second operation assumed to be performed by the user after the first operation is transmitted to the portable terminal device if the first operation is detected by the operation detection unit.

Abstract: An electrical junction box includes a bolt fixation portion made of resin, the bolt fixation portion having a bolt insertion hole through which a bolt is inserted to fix the electrical junction box to a vehicle. The bolt fixation portion includes a protrusion extending in an axial direction of the bolt in a state in which the bolt is inserted through the bolt insertion hole. The protrusion is configured to limit a rotationally movable range of an operating portion of a tool that is used in a state in which the operating portion extends in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the bolt.

Abstract: An organic EL display is constituted by providing a stress-relieving layer made of a material having a higher elastisity and a lower refractive index than an adhesive layer at edges of color-converting filters that are constituted from color filter layers alone, or color filter layers and color-converting layers, and are formed on a transparent supporting substrate. As a result, stress arising when bonding the color-converting filters and the organic light-emitting device together, or when there are changes in the environment in which the display is placed is absorbed by the stress-relieving layer, and hence the light-emitting device is not damaged, and moreover reflection at walls of the stress-relieving layer is promoted, and hence there is a reduction in the component of the light emitted by the light-emitting device that escapes sideways. An organic EL display having high reliability and high efficiency is thus provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a color conversion filter, having a color filter layer on a transparent substrate. A coloring matter layer containing color conversion coloring matter and an optical radical generating agent are formed on the substrate and the filter layer. The coloring matter layer is exposed to coloring matter decomposition light applied through the substrate and the filter layer. The coloring matter layer also is exposed to auxiliary ultraviolet light applied from the side of the coloring matter layer. This forms a color conversion layer at a position corresponding to the filter layer. The optical radical generating agent is heat vaporized. The color conversion coloring matter is decomposed by light whose wavelength is outside a range that the color filter layer transmits. The coloring matter decomposition light includes a wavelength component that decomposes the color conversion coloring matter.
