Abstract: A cathode ray tube capable of reducing the doming amount and suppressing the occurrence of moire stripes at the same time with improved effects to suppress the occurrence of moire stripes even more is provided. The protruding portions 28a, 28b are protruding from the ends of the horizontal direction of the aperture to the inside of the aperture 27. With regard to the horizontal cross sections of the protruding portions 28a, 28b, the portions facing each other left and right via the aperture are formed to be asymmetrical to the center line 29 in order to reduce or block the incident electron beam. By forming the protruding portions 28a, 28b, the doming amount can be reduced and the occurrence of moire stripes can be suppressed at the same time. Furthermore, by forming the portions facing each other left and right of the protruding portions asymmetrically, the effects to suppress the occurrence of moire stripes can be improved even more.

Abstract: A predetermined amount of adhesive is dropped on microlenses formed on a first transparent substrate, a second transparent substrate is mounted thereon and one of the first and second transparent substrates is rotated to provide a thin and uniform adhesive layer. Later the adhesive is cured and integrated in a thin film transistor substrate, to which liquid crystal is filled to obtain a liquid crystal panel. The distance D between the microlenses and the second transparent substrate is: 0<D.ltoreq.1 (.mu.m), and the parallel precision between the first and second transparent substrates is no more than 1 .mu.m. As the thickness of the adhesive layer can be thin and uniform, a liquid crystal panel having pixels with high numerical aperture and less display nonuniformity can be obtained.

Abstract: A solid state image sensor comprising a matrix of photosensitive elements adapted to accumulate signal charges corresponding to at least two different aspect ratios, a plurality of vertical shift registers disposed adjacent to columns of the photosensitive elements for a vertical transfer of the signal charges and a plurality of horizontal shift registers corresponding to the respective aspect ratios and disposed in parallel with each other for a horizontal transfer of the signal charges from the vertical shift registers. As a horizontal shift register exclusive to each aspect ratio is provided in the above manner, it is no longer necessary to superimpose the signal outputs of a plurality of buffer amplifiers so that a picture signal corresponding to the desired aspect ratio can be easily read out.

Abstract: The solid state image sensor of the invention comprises a plurality of photosensitive elements arranged in a matrix form, a vertical shift register disposed adjacent each column of the photosensitive elements and adapted to vertically transfer signal charges read from the corresponding photosensitive elements, a storage region for storing signal charges transferred by the vertical shift register and a horizontal shift register adapted to horizontally transfer signal charges read from the storage region, the above vertical shift register comprising units of 2n (n is a positive integer of not less than 3) transfer electrodes which are respectively independent.

Abstract: A heating type hair waving appliance includes a bonnet in which the hairline area of the head of a patron is inserted and a plurality of infrared radiation lamps serving as a source of heat for heating the hairline area. A controller is implemented with a microcomputer semiconductor integrated circuit for receiving inputs applied via an input keyboard and placing the plurality of the infrared lamps into predetermined conditions. A solid state display provides a display of the operative state of the infrared lamps and an ultrasonic type atomizer is provided for generating moisture-laden mist which in turn is guided into the interior of the bonnet.

Abstract: A hair waving appliance of the type having a hood assembly includes a plurality of independently controllable heating means such as infrared heaters or lamps valves each disposed to heat a different hairline area of the head of a patron. A temperature control and a timer are provided for individual ones of the heating elements for controlling a temperature and a period of heating independently of one another. In addition, an ultrasonic atomizer is provided within the head supporting assembly to generate moisture-laden air mist, imparting longer-lasting curl retention. A heating temperature or a period of heating can be determined under the control of at least either the temperature control or the timer depending upon the hair nature of the hairline areas and personal taste of the patron.
