  • Patent number: 9557592
    Abstract: Provided is a display device including: a display panel; a support member that is in contact with at least a part of a lower side of the display panel; and a panel holder that has a first member supporting via the support member the lower side of the display panel. The support member is an elastic body that, in a case where the display panel is deformed, deforms accordingly as a result of a part thereof moving relative to the first member.

  • Patent number: 9311862
    Abstract: A light source unit that uses white light LEDs in a backlight apparatus is provided with a plurality of white light LEDs that can individually provide white light illumination. Each of the white light LED units respectively corresponds to partition areas in the vertical direction of the screen and is illuminated by scanning in sequence in conformity to the display screen of an LCD display unit. LED units that carry out white light display by RGB color mixing are continuously illuminated. In addition, in another embodiment, white light LEDs are continuously illuminated in a low power consumption mode, and ELD units that carry out white light display by RGB color mixing are illuminated by scanning in sequence in conformity to the display screen of the LCD display device.

  • Patent number: 7290595
    Abstract: An inner fin (1) of a heat exchanger has, on front and rear faces thereof, protruding ridges (2, 3) protruding in opposite directions to each other. Grooves (4, 5) to serve as passages of a heat exchange medium are formed between the adjacent protruding ridges (2, 3). In wall portions (6) forming these protruding ridges (2, 3), cutout windows (10, 11) are formed to allow the adjacent passages to communicate with each other. Further, protruding weir portions (12, 13) are provided at bottoms of entrances of the cutout windows (10 and 11), so that the heat exchange medium hits against the weir portions to promote diffluence and stirring of the heat exchange medium, thereby enhancing heat exchange efficiency.
