  • Patent number: 4910478
    Abstract: A multistage amplifier (1) consists of unit amplifiers (1a-1c) connected in series. A .lambda./2 strip line (20) is connected in parallel to the last stage unit amplifier (1c), so that a signal may bypass the last stage unit amplifier. When the last stage unit amplifier is disenabled, the signal bypasses the last stage unit amplifier, and the output power is reduced without a decrease of power efficiency in the other unit amplifiers. When all of the unit amplifiers are enabled and the strip line is grounded at the central point thereof, the output power is increased.

  • Patent number: 4458987
    Abstract: A multi-layer liquid crystal panel for a liquid crystal display device having stacked light transmitting substrates of different sizes is disclosed. A retainer is disposed at a position directly beneath a sealing member which seals a first substrate and a second substrate, between the second substrate and a third substrate. The retainer is applied to the substrates simultaneously with the application of the sealing member. The first, second and third substrates are stacked one on the other and pressed to form a multi-layer panel. By virtue of the retainer, the gaps between the respective substrates are maintained uniform over the display area.

  • Patent number: 4412214
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display element includes a pattern display section defined by the superposing portions of upper and lower display electrodes. In a non-display area around the display section, upper and lower non-display electrodes are arranged so that the superposing portion thereof partially or entirely covers the non-display area. In operation, a non-selective voltage is always applied across a liquid crystal at the superposing portion of the upper and lower non-display electrodes.

  • Patent number: 4341445
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display element characterized by having an orientation controlling film containing a uniformly dispersed spacer therein on one inside surface of electrode substrates shows only a slight deviation in changes of the distance between the two electrode substrates even in the case of a large-size element. Such a liquid crystal display element can be produced by coating a mixture of a film forming material, a spacer and a solvent on one surface of an electrode adhered to one substrate, dried and baked, followed by conventional display element producing procedures.

  • Patent number: 4269617
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a liquid crystal container for a liquid crystal display element, which process comprises the steps of applying a low-melting glass frit paste to at least one of a pair of glass substrates, subjecting this glass substrate to primary firing in an open condition in which the paste is in no contact with any matters, and while holding the pair of the glass substrates in their accurate relative positions, subjecting the glass substrates to secondary firing to seal the pair of the glass substrates with the glass frit. The process preferably comprises the step of applying, prior to the step of secondary firing, a low-melting glass frit paste to one of the glass substrates so as to reliably hold the pair of the glass substrates in the accurate relative positions.

  • Patent number: 4037930
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display cell wherein two glass plates are sealed to a peripheral sealing member provided with a liquid crystal inlet port, the peripheries of the glass plates generally project slightly beyond the periphery of the peripheral sealing member thus forming a shallow groove. Low melting point glass filler is filled in the groove about the inlet port. A metal layer is applied onto the filler and finally a solder layer is applied onto the metal layer to seal the inlet port.
