  • Publication number: 20190031121
    Abstract: A vehicle interior component includes: a body including a through hole, a first surface opposed to a vehicle body panel, and a second surface opposite from the first surface; and a wire holder holding an end section of an electric wire connected with a wire-side connector. The wire holder includes: a base section extending from a first section of a hole edge of the through hole toward an inner side of the through hole and having resilience; a free end section including an end surface opposed to a second section of the hole edge; and a meddle section. The base section, the free end section, the middle section, and the first section define a space with a dimension greater than a diameter of the end section and less than the wire-side connector to hold the end section in the space and the wire-side connector closer to the second surface.

  • Publication number: 20190035978
    Abstract: This invention provides a nitride semiconductor light emitting device in which current concentration is suppressed without excessively increasing resistance at a low cost without increasing a manufacturing process. The planar shape of a mesa portion configuring a nitride semiconductor light emitting device is a shape containing a convex-shaped tip portion 352b formed by a curved line or a plurality of straight lines and a base portion 352a continuous to the convex-shaped tip portion 352b, in which an obtuse angle is formed by adjacent two straight lines in the convex-shaped tip portion formed by the plurality of straight lines. The first electrode layer 4 has visible outlines 411 and 412 along a visible outline 302 of the mesa portion through a gap 9 in planar view. The relationship between a gap W1 in the convex-shaped tip portion 352b and a gap W2 in the base portion 352a is W1>W2.
