Abstract: The present invention includes a plurality of linear sources 17 arranged parallel to one another, and a light reflecting member 40 arranged on the side of the linear light sources 17 that corresponds to the opposite side of the light emitting side. The linear light sources 17 are arranged so that a narrow-interval area 17A where the arrangement interval thereof is relatively narrow and a wide-interval area 17B where the arrangement interval is relatively wide are provided. The light reflecting member 40 includes an opening section 50 located directly below the linear light sources 17. The opening section 50 is provided so that the opening ratio as a ratio between a total area of the light reflecting member 40 and areas of the opening section 50 is higher at an area of the light reflecting member 40 corresponding to the narrow-interval area 17A than at an area of the light reflecting member 40 corresponding to the wide-interval area 17B.

Abstract: A lighting device 12 of the present invention includes a plurality of linear light sources 17 arranged parallel to one another, and a light reflecting member 40 arranged on the side of the linear light sources that corresponds to the opposite side of the light emitting side. The linear light sources are arranged so that a narrow-interval area 17A where the arrangement interval thereof is relatively narrow and a wide-interval area 17B where the arrangement interval is relatively wide are provided. An opening section 50 is formed in the light reflecting member. The opening section 50 is provided so that the opening ratio as a ratio of the area of the opening section 50 in the entire light reflecting member 40 is higher at an area corresponding to the narrow-interval area 17A, than at an area corresponding to the wide-interval area 17B.

Abstract: Indexes indicative of the locations of lamp clips are formed on a chassis where lamps are juxtaposed with different juxtaposition pitches. The lamp clips comprise: plate-like bases; holding portions, which are provided at one face of the bases, for holding the lamps; and markers corresponding to the indexes.

Abstract: There is provided a process with which the cycloalkane is oxidized so as to produce a cycloalkanol and/or a cycloalkanone with an improved conversion of the cycloalkane. Such process includes the steps of supplying the oxygen-containing gas and a liquid including the cycloalkane into a bubble forming apparatus so as to prepare a gas-liquid mixture, and supplying such gas-liquid mixture into a reaction vessel.

Abstract: A plurality of clipping portions which clip a plurality of lamps to be juxtaposed are provided on one face, and a mounting portion to be mounted on a supporting member by which said lamps are supported, and holding projecting portions for holding positions of the clipping portions with respect to said supporting member are provided, and two flexible portions which can bend in a direction in which a distance between said supporting sections is changed are provided between at least two clipping portions.

Abstract: A light source device includes: at least four rod-shaped lamps; an attachment plate to which the at least four lamps are attached substantially parallel to one another in a condition where the pitches between the lamps are different from one another; and a plurality of lamp clips each having two holding portions holding adjoining two lamps at middle parts thereof. The separation distance between the two holding portions of a first lamp clip holding two lamps and the separation distance between the two holding portions of a second lamp clip holding two lamps adjoining the two lamps are substantially the same.

Abstract: In a display device having a liquid crystal panel and a backlight unit, an optical sheet group provided on a surface of the backlight unit facing the liquid crystal panel is curved so as to form a convex shape in a direction opposite to the liquid crystal panel. In this way, a wrinkle on the optical sheet provided in the display device is prevented while avoiding deterioration in the displaying quality.

Abstract: A liquid cyclohexanone oxime A is vaporized by heating to obtain a cyclohexanone oxime gas A1 and the remaining residue C is distilled under a pressure lower than the pressure upon vaporization by heating, and then cyclohexanone oxime A2 contained in the residue C is recovered.

The separation distance between the two holding portions of a first lamp clip holding two lamps and the separation distance between the two holding portions of a second lamp clip holding two lamps adjoining the two lamps are substantially the same.

Abstract: ?-Caprolactam is produced by the method comprising the step of introducing a gas comprising cyclohexanone oxime into a layer of solid catalyst particles through a plurality of holes of a gas diffusion plate so that the solid catalyst particles are brought into contact with the gas, while fluidizing the catalyst layer, wherein the holes have an average diameter of about 3 mm or smaller. In accordance with the production method, ?-caprolactam can be produced from a raw material gas comprising cyclohexanone oxime with a high conversion of cyclohexanone oxime and a high selectivity to ?-caprolactam.
