Patents by Inventor Minato ITO

Minato ITO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9343706
    Abstract: Provided is a device in which heat conduction from a sealant to a functional element is suppressed and whose bezel is slim. The sealing structure includes a first substrate, a second substrate whose surface over which a sealed component is provided faces the first substrate, and a frame-like sealant which seals a space between the first substrate and the second substrate with the first substrate and the second substrate. The second substrate includes a groove portion between the sealant and the sealed component. The groove portion is in a vacuum or includes a substance whose heat conductivity is lower than that of the second substrate.

  • Publication number: 20150380673
    Abstract: A device in which warpage or distortion is less likely to occur even in a high-temperature or high-humidity environment is provided. A light-emitting device includes a first flexible substrate, a second flexible substrate, and an element layer. The first flexible substrate includes an organic resin. The second flexible substrate includes an organic resin. The element layer is positioned between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate. The element layer includes a light-emitting element. The light-emitting element emits light to the first flexible substrate side. The first flexible substrate has higher average transmittance of light having a wavelength of greater than or equal to 400 nm and less than or equal to 800 nm than the second flexible substrate.

  • Publication number: 20150351168
    Abstract: A highly reliable light-emitting device is provided. A light-emitting device with high resistance to repeated bending is provided. A light-emitting device in which cracks are less likely to occur even in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment is provided. The light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element between a pair of insulating layers. The pair of insulating layers is sandwiched between a pair of bonding layers. The pair of bonding layers is sandwiched between a pair of flexible substrates. At least one of the insulating layers has compressive stress. At least one of the bonding layers has a glass transition temperature higher than or equal to 60° C. At least one of the substrates has a coefficient of linear expansion less than or equal to 60 ppm/K.
