  • Patent number: 4930876
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device including a pair of transparent baseplates which are opposed to each other. A pair of transparent electrodes are disposed on an inner surface of each of the baseplates. A sealing member is disposed so as to form a chamber between the baseplates for containing therein the transparent electrodes and a liquid crystal. Contact electrodes are disposed on one end portion of the inner surface of each of the baseplates for contacting with a pair of external electrodes to be inserted into the device, from the external electrodes a signal to control optical transmission/screening of the liquid crystal being received. A pair of connecting electrodes are disposed on the inner surface of each of the baseplates for electrically connecting the contact electrodes with the transparent electrodes in order to transmit the signal from the contact electrodes to the transparent electrodes. The device is constructed so that the connecting electrodes are not electrically conducted with each other.

  • Patent number: 4896946
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device having a circuit board and a liquid crystal display cell mounted on the circuit board. The liquid crystal display cell includes substrates each formed of a flexible film. The liquid crystal display cell has an electrode terminal section, and the circuit board has an outer electrode terminal section connected by a connector to the electrode terminal section of the liquid crystal display cell. The connector comprises a film of anisotropic electric conductivity which serves to electrically interconnect the electrode terminal section of the liquid crystal cell and the outer electrode terminal section of the circuit board and also to mechanically secure the liquid crystal display cell to the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 4793691
    Abstract: A liquid crystal color display device having a liquid crystal unit, a light source, and a color filter. The liquid crystal unit has a liquid crystal cell having a sealed liquid crystal material and a transparent pixel electrode composed of pixel electrode elements. The liquid crystal unit controls transmission and shutoff of light dependent on image information. The color filter is positioned for passage therethrough of light emitted from the light source. The color filter comprises pixel filters aligned with the pixel electrode elements in the liquid crystal cell. The spectral light transmission ranges of the respective pixel filters and/or the spectral light emission ranges of the light source are determined for improved improving color reproduceability.

  • Patent number: 4772885
    Abstract: A color display device has a liquid crystal unit for passing therethrough electromagnetic radiation dependent on image information. The color display device also has a light source including electroluminescent materials or fluorescent materials. The electroluminescent materials and the fluorescent materials are essentially the same, but have different light-emitting mechanisms, i.e., electroluminescence and fluorescence. The light source with the electroluminescent materials is used singly or in combination with a color filter and the liquid cystal unit. The light source with the fluorescent materials is combined with a color filter and the liquid crystal unit. When the light source with the fluorescent materials is used, the amounts of the fluorescent materials for emitting lights in red, green, and blue, the light-emitting efficiencies of the fluorescent materials, and the transmissivities of the color filter for the lights in red, green, and blue are determined to meet certain conditions.

  • Patent number: 4678285
    Abstract: A liquid crystal color display device for displaying a color image represented by an applied image signal, including a liquid crystal cell, one or two polarizers, and a fluorescent light-emitting means. The liquid crystal cell and one polarizer disposed on one side thereof, or the liquid crystal cell and the two polarizers sandwiching the same, jointly constitute a switching element responsive to the image signal applied to the liquid crystal cell for passing electromagnetic radiation in a pattern representing the image given by the image signal. The fluorescent light-emitting means has a fluorescent layer and a lamp for generating electromagnetic radition, and may additionally include a color filter. The fluorescent layer is responsive to the electromagnetic radiation from the lamp for emitting chromatic fluorescent light. Where the fluorescent light-emitting means has the color filter, the fluorescent light passes through the color filter to display the image.

  • Patent number: 4654965
    Abstract: A panel board on which a liquid crystal display device and a printed-circuit board on which an electric circuit for driving the liquid crystal display device are electrically and mechanically connected to each other by an electrically conductive heat-sealing connector. When joining the panel board and the printed-circuit board, the heat-sealing connector is heated by a heating head applied against the panel board or infrared radiation applied through the panel board.
