  • Publication number: 20240101899
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor light emitting device which is capable of accomplishing a broad color reproducibility for an entire image without losing brightness of the entire image. A light source provided on a backlight for a color image display device has a semiconductor light emitting device comprising a solid light emitting device to emit light in a blue or deep blue region or in an ultraviolet region and phosphors, in combination. The phosphors comprise a green emitting phosphor and a red emitting phosphor. The green emitting phosphor and the red emitting phosphor are ones, of which the rate of change of the emission peak intensity at 100° C. to the emission intensity at 25° C., when the wavelength of the excitation light is 400 nm or 455 nm, is at most 40%.

  • Publication number: 20230150023
    Abstract: A sliding member (10) includes a base material (12), a porous sintered layer (14) provided on the base material (12), and a resin layer (16) impregnated into the porous sintered layer (14) and provided on the porous sintered layer (14). In the porous sintered layer (14), a porosity decreases from a second surface (S2) opposite to a first surface (S1) closer to the base material, toward the first surface (S1), the first surface and the second surface each being one of end surfaces in the thickness direction, and a decrease rate of the porosity in the thickness direction (Z) in a first region (E1) occupying 50% or more of the thickness of the porous sintered layer (14) from the second surface (S2) toward the first surface (S1) is larger than a decrease rate of the porosity in the thickness direction (Z) in a second region (E2) other than the first region (E1) in the porous sintered layer (14).

  • Publication number: 20220403879
    Abstract: A resin material 16 for a sliding member contains a synthetic resin 18, graphite particles 20 dispersed in the synthetic resin 18, and a hard material 24. The synthetic resin 18 contains 5% or more by volume and 30% or less by volume of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) 22. The graphite particles 20 have an average particle diameter of 0.5 ?m or more and 5.0 ?m or less and have a content of 1% or more by volume and 15% or less by volume in the synthetic resin 18.

  • Patent number: 9835157
    Abstract: First closing plate and second closing plate close opening portions at both ends of cylindrical member in an axial direction. Base is housed in a space formed by cylindrical member, first closing plate, and second closing plate, and rotates around an axis in the same direction as the axial direction of cylindrical member. Resin layers are formed on thrust surfaces of base. Groove C is a plurality of concentric circular grooves or a spiral groove formed on each resin layer, and the center of circles of the circular grooves or the center of a spiral of the spiral groove is different from the rotation center of base.

  • Patent number: 9453509
    Abstract: A scroll compressor which can be mounted in an automobile has a slide bearing resulting from baking onto a back metal a sliding layer of 5-60 wt % graphite having an average diameter of 5-50 ?m and a graphitization degree of at least 0.6, the remainder containing a polyimide resin and/or a polyamide-imide resin. The form of the graphite has: (a) an average shape factor (YAVE) as defined of 1-4 for the particles excluding the minute particles that are no greater than 0.5 times the average diameter, and there being at least 70% by number of particles having a shape factor (Y) in the range of 1-1.5; or (b) graphite particles having a particle ratio of at least 0.5 being at least 50% of the total by number.

  • Publication number: 20140301880
    Abstract: [Problem] To exchange the roller bearing that has been used in a scroll compressor mounted in an automobile with a m slide bearing. To provide a slide bearing having a performance that is at least equivalent to that of a roller bearing. [Solution] The slide bearing results from baking onto a back metal a sliding layer of 5-60 wt % graphite having an average diameter of 5-50 ?m and a graphitization degree of at least 0.6, the remainder comprising a polyimide resin and/or a polyamide-imide resin. The form of the graphite has: (a) an average shape factor (YAVE) as defined of 1-4 for the particles excluding the minute particles that are no greater than 0.5 times the average diameter, and there being at least 70% by number of particles having a shape factor (Y) in the range of 1-1.5; or (b) graphite particles having a particle ratio of at least 0.5 being at least 50% of the total by number.
