  • Patent number: 7059707
    Abstract: To prevent corrosion and disconnection of an anisotropic conductor film due to ink and ink vapor and to eliminate discharge defects in an ink jet print head having a structure in which a head chip and a circuit substrate for driving the head chip are interconnected by an FPC substrate through the anisotropic conductor film, an outer periphery of the interconnecting portion is molded throughout a full range by a sealant so as to cut off the interconnecting portion from external air. The sealant is of an epoxy type, a silicone type or an acrylic type. An epoxy sealant having low viscosity (50 pa·s or below) and high hardness (85 or more: JISA standard) is used for a first layer sealant of the interconnecting portion and a silicone sealant having high viscosity (70 pa·s or more) is used for a second layer sealant to achieve a two-layered molding structure.

  • Patent number: 6430111
    Abstract: To discharge the static electricity intruded through a timepiece exterior case without giving an adverse effect upon an electronic circuit of the timepiece. In a timepiece having a structure that a case is insulated in plurality of number using as insulating means a heat insulation material of a heat generation timepiece exterior case and a timepiece exterior case is used as electrode for charging and a timepiece having a structure that similarly a timepiece upper case and lower case are electrically insulated, a circuit pattern for allowing the static; electricity intruded through a timepiece exterior to freely discharge into air is provided in a wiring board in the heat generator. This made possible to prevent malfunction of a timepiece electronic circuit due to static electricity.

  • Patent number: 6266113
    Abstract: A reflection type liquid crystal display device according to the present invention is constructed to include: a light modulation layer having a light scattering state changed when a voltage is applied between electrode faces; at least one kind of color separation layer arranged at the back of the liquid crystal; and a reflection layer arranged at the back of the color separation layer. The light modulation layer is a polymer network type polymer scattered liquid crystal layer or a phase conversion type liquid crystal layer, and the color separation mirror is a cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layer or a dielectric multi-layered thin film characterized to reflect a light within a predetermined wavelength range in the visible light region selectively. A reflection preventing layer and an ultraviolet ray cut-off layer are further arranged on the surfaces of the electrode faces.

  • Patent number: 6215536
    Abstract: A reflective liquid crystal display device comprises a transparent first substrate having formed thereon a transparent electrode, a first filter having a first color, and a second filte having a second color. A second substrate is disposed opposite and spaced-apart from the first substrate. A reflection layer is disposed on the second substrate. A polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer is disposed between the transparent electrode and the reflection layer and is formed by exposure to an ultraviolet ray in a preselected wavelength range. A ratio of a transmissivity of the first filter for the ultraviolet ray to a transmissivity of the second filter for the ultraviolet ray is 3.0 or less.

  • Patent number: 5990995
    Abstract: A reflection type liquid crystal display device comprises a pair of substrates having electrodes, a light scattering type liquid crystal layer interposed between the substrates, a reflection layer disposed over a rear surface of the light scattering type liquid crystal layer, and a light absorbing layer disposed over a rear surface of the reflection layer for absorbing a light passed through the reflection layer. The light scattering type liquid crystal layer changes into a scattering state or a transparent state in accordance with a change in a voltage level between the electrodes, and transmits 60% or more of incident light irrespective of the change in the voltage level between the electrodes. The reflection layer has a reflectivity within a range of 10 to 50% for reflecting a forward scattered light passed through the light scattering type liquid crystal layer.
