The front sheet includes a mesh made of a light shield member that has a blackened front surface and a plane size larger than a screen. A length between diagonal lattice points of the mesh is shorter than a cell pitch that is longer one of the cell pitches in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the screen. An arrangement direction of the mesh is inclined with respect to an arrangement direction of the cells in the screen.

  • Publication number: 20060152127
    Abstract: A display filter is provided that can realize price reduction without lowering electromagnetic wave shielding ability and near infrared rays shielding ability. A conductive mesh is used for shielding electromagnetic waves. A multilayered film and a coloring layer are used for shielding near infrared rays. The multilayered film reflects near infrared rays selectively and the coloring layer absorbs near infrared rays selectively. The use of the multilayered film significantly reduces near infrared rays absorption ability that is required for the coloring layer compared to the case where no multilayered film is used.

  • Patent number: 6835119
    Abstract: A method for lapping which eliminates lapping damage includes a high-speed lapping operation at a high torque which is continuously performed after performing intermittently a low-speed lapping operation under low torque on a workpiece. Therefore, the excessive load during a first lapping stage due to the projection on the surface of the workpiece is greatly decreased. A continuous lapping is performed after the projection becomes smooth to some extent, and thus the lapping damage is prevented.

  • Patent number: 6775040
    Abstract: A scanning sync-signal detecting circuit for a laser scanner is provided. The circuit prevents misdetections of a horizontal sync signal caused by stray beams and enables a precise detection of the sync signal, independent of the beam power. The scanner comprises a laser detector and a sync-detecting circuit. The sync-detecting circuit detects a proper beam for generating the sync signal in accordance with the duration of the signal from the detector for which the signal level is higher than a predetermined level. The sync-detecting circuit comprises a ramp generator, a comparator, and a sync signal generator. The level of the ramp signal corresponds to the signal duration from the detector. The signal level is compared with a predetermined boundary level, so that the output signal due to the proper beam is detected.
