  • Publication number: 20150320317
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus for diagnosis and a control method of an imaging apparatus for diagnosis are disclosed, which acquire line data represented by multiple luminance values in a radial direction from a rotation center position of an imaging core, which are derived by a rotation position and movement of the imaging core. Then, based on the acquired line data, an image of a two-dimensional space in which ? representing a rotation angle and z representing a position in a movement direction are set to two axes is generated and displayed.

  • Patent number: 8804087
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reliably ground an external conductive film formed on an opposed substrate to secure a stable shield effect in an IPS-type liquid crystal display device. An external conductive film formed on an opposed substrate is connected to an earth pad formed on a TFT substrate through a conductive thermocompression bonding tape. The conductive thermocompression bonding tape is connected by a thermocompression bonding head to form a conductive area. The width of the conductive area on the opposed substrate is made larger than the width of the conductive area on the TFT substrate to prevent the conductive thermocompression bonding tape from peeling off from the opposed substrate. Accordingly, the external conductive film of the opposed substrate is reliably grounded.
