  • Patent number: 11940703
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device with a high aperture ratio is provided. The display device includes a transistor, a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, a third insulating layer, a first conductive layer, a pixel electrode, a common electrode, and a liquid crystal layer in a pixel. The first insulating layer is positioned over a channel formation region of the transistor. The first conductive layer is positioned over the first insulating layer. The second insulating layer is positioned over the transistor, the first insulating layer, and the first conductive layer. The pixel electrode is positioned over the second insulating layer, the third insulating layer is positioned over the pixel electrode, the common electrode is positioned over the third insulating layer, and the liquid crystal layer is positioned over the common electrode. The common electrode includes a region overlapping with the first conductive layer with the pixel electrode positioned therebetween.

  • Patent number: 8922610
    Abstract: A thermal head and a thermal printer are disclosed. The head includes a substrate, heat generating members, an edge portion, and first and second reinforcing members. The substrate includes: first and second surfaces opposing to each other; and an end face connecting the first and second surfaces. The heat generating members are parallel to the end face and located on the substrate. The edge portion is located on the substrate, crosses an array direction of the heating generating members, and includes first, second and third edge portions on the first main surface, the second main surface and the first end face, respectively. The first reinforcing member is located on the first, second and third edge portions. The second reinforcing member is located on the first edge portion, and separated from the first reinforcing member.
