Abstract: A method for producing a bent glass article includes a heat treatment step of heat-treating a bent glass. The bent glass includes a first main stir-face, a second main surface and an end face. In the heat treatment step, the bent glass is supported by a support jig with one of the main surfaces facing downward. The support jig supports at least a part of one of the main surfaces or the end face in a higher position than the lowest position of one of the main surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a film-attached glass substrate, characterized by: being provided with a glass substrate having two primary surfaces each having a compressive stress layer, and a film containing 1 at % or more of K disposed on one of the primary surfaces of the glass substrate; and the ratio of the difference in the amount of K in the compressive stress layer between the primary surfaces, the ratio being represented by formula (1), being ?0.027 to 0.027.

Abstract: A portable wordprocessor has a main body and a display support assembly hinged to the main body. The main body has an information entry keyboard, a function keyboard, a control circuit board and a floppy disk drive. The information entry keyboard and the function keyboard have key tops the heights of which do not exceed the height of the portion of the main body which accommodates the floppy disk drive. The information entry keyboard is disposed along the front edge of the main body, while the function keyboard is disposed between the information entry keyboard and the rear edge of the main body. The floppy disk drive is disposed in lateral alignment with the function keyboard. The display support assembly supports a liquid crystal display device which includes a liquid crystal display portion and a liquid crystal control circuit board which is disposed around the liquid crystal display portion and has a thickness which does not exceed the thickness of the liquid crystal display portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light source device and particularly to a light source device which can be applied to a light source apparatus of a liquid crystal display apparatus which utilizes a flat plane type light source. The present invention provides a large size, light weight and thin flat plane light source which ensures uniform high level brightness to the entire part of display panel.

Abstract: A light source device disposing light sources at both end faces of the transparent plate in which a surface of the transparent plate in the side of an observer (front surface) is formed as the inclined and curved surface in view of limiting reduction in quantity of light per unit area at the observing area being far from the light source within a certain level, the one surface of the transparent plate is formed as the rough surface to diffuse the incident light, the other surface of the transparent plate is formed as a mirror-surface, and a reflecting layer having a high lightness is disposed at the lower side of the transparent plate in order to provide sufficient luminance for observers.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for driving a liquid crystal display provided, in the same liquid crystal panel, with a dot matrix display part and a fixed pattern or segment display part. The dot matrix display part is driven in a time-multiplexed fashion, while the fixed pattern or segment display part is driven in a static fashion using driving voltage waveforms in common with the dot matrix display part.
