  • Publication number: 20230050781
    Abstract: A display device includes a substrate with a display area and a bending area; and a luminance sensor. The display area and the bending area each include a pixel circuit including a light-emitting element that is self-luminous. The bending area is bent from the display area. The luminance sensor measures luminance of the light-emitting element in the bending area.

  • Publication number: 20160061099
    Abstract: A uniflow scavenging two-cycle engine includes a scavenge port and a plurality of injection units which inject a fuel gas into the active gas sucked into the scavenge port and have different positions of the piston in the stroke direction. The plurality of injection units are divided into at least two sets of injection unit groups include first and second injection unit groups, the first injection unit group being a set of one or a plurality of injection units located on the other end side in the stroke direction, and the second injection unit group being a set of one or a plurality of injection units located on one end side in the stroke direction, and the injection stop of the fuel gas is later in the injection unit of the first injection unit group than in the injection unit of the second injection unit group.

  • Publication number: 20160061098
    Abstract: A uniflow scavenging 2-cycle engine includes a cylinder inside in which a combustion chamber is formed; a piston which slides within the cylinder; a scavenge port which is provided on one end side in a stroke direction of the piston in the cylinder to suck an active gas into the combustion chamber in accordance with the sliding movement of the piston; and an injection unit which injects a fuel gas into the active gas suctioned to the scavenge port and is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the scavenge port or on the outside of the cylinder rather than the inner circumferential surface. Further, the amount of the fuel gas injected by the injection unit on the other end side in the stroke direction is larger than the amount of fuel gas injected by the injection unit on one end side in the stroke direction.

  • Patent number: 8984863
    Abstract: Provided is an ammonia injection device (10) installed at an exhaust gas duct through which an exhaust gas generated in a gas turbine flows, and configured to inject ammonia into the exhaust gas at an upstream side of a denitration catalyst configured to perform denitration processing in a flowing direction of the exhaust gas, the device including a plurality of ammonia injection pipes (11) disposed in parallel each other in a surface which traverses the exhaust gas duct. A plurality of nozzle pipes (12) configured to eject the ammonia from the ammonia injection pipes in an arrangement direction of the plurality of ammonia injection pipes are installed at the ammonia injection pipe in a longitudinal direction of the ammonia injection pipes. Diffuser panels (13) extending toward a downstream side in a flowing direction of the exhaust gas at both sides in a longitudinal direction of the ammonia injection pipes with respect to the nozzle pipes are formed at the nozzle pipes.
