  • Publication number: 20230218164
    Abstract: A simple diagnosis assisting device (10) for keratoconus and/or astigmatism, including a mobile terminal (10A) including a camera (2) and a transceiver function (3), and integrally or separately provided with a light source (1) for simultaneously projecting ring light onto both eyes. The light source (1) emits the ring light upon being attached to the mobile terminal (10A) in a case of being separately provided to the mobile terminal (10A), and emits the ring light from the mobile terminal (10A) in a case of being integrally provided to the mobile terminal (10A). The camera (2) simultaneously captures a projected image of both eyes onto which the ring light is projected. The ring light may be multiplex ring light or simplex ring light, and is configured in a ring shape by a plurality of point light sources or is configured in a ring shape by a single linear light source.

  • Publication number: 20230014171
    Abstract: A heater 1a includes: a substrate 10 made of a resin; a conductive film 20 being a heating element; and a power supply electrode 30. The power supply electrode 30 is electrically connected to the conductive film 20 and is arranged along a surface of the conductive film 20. The power supply electrode 30 includes a conductive filler 30p and a binder 30m. The binder 30m binds the conductive filler 30p. The power supply electrode 30 has a specific resistance of 100 µ?•cm or less. The heater 1a satisfies a relation |Rd ? Ri|/Ri ? 0.2. Rd is an electrical resistance [?] of the heater 1a, the electrical resistance being obtained after an environment of the heater 1a is maintained at a temperature of 85° C. and a relative humidity of 85% for 1000 hours. Ri is an initial electrical resistance Ri of the heater 1a.

  • Publication number: 20220167463
    Abstract: A heater (1a) includes a substrate (10), a heating element (20) that is a transparent conductive film (20), an intermediate layer (30), and at least a pair of power supply electrodes (40). The intermediate layer (30) is disposed between the substrate (10) and the transparent conductive film (20), and has a first principal surface (31) positioned closer to the transparent conductive film (20) than the substrate (10). The pair of power supply electrodes (40) are in contact with the transparent conductive film (20). The intermediate layer (30) contains an organic polymer (32) forming a cured product and particles (34) of silica or a metal oxide dispersed in the cured product. The transparent conductive film (20) has a surface having an arithmetic average roughness Ra, specified in JIS B 0601:2013, of 7.0 nm or less.

  • Publication number: 20210345457
    Abstract: A heater (1a) includes: a substrate (10); a heat-generation layer (20) that is a conductive metal oxide layer (22); a pair of power supply electrodes (30); and a pressure-sensitive adhesive bonding laminate (40). The substrate (10) is formed of an organic polymer. The heat-generation layer (20) is disposed in contact with the substrate (10) in the thickness direction of the substrate (10). The pair of power supply electrodes (30) are electrically connected to the heat-generation layer (20). The pressure-sensitive adhesive bonding laminate (40) has a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface (41a) used for pressure-sensitive adhesive bonding with an adherend. In the pressure-sensitive adhesive bonding laminate (40), a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive layers (41, 42) and at least one support (45) for the plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are alternately laminated between the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface (41a) and the heat-generating layer (20).
