  • Patent number: 11914246
    Abstract: A display device (1) includes a light-emitting device (10), a reflective liquid crystal element (20), and an optical member (30). The light-emitting device (10) includes a plurality of light-emitting units (142) and a light-transmitting unit (144) located between the light-emitting units (142) adjacent to each other. The light-emitting device (10) is located between the reflective liquid crystal element (20) and the optical member (30). The plurality of light-emitting units (142) emit light toward the reflective liquid crystal element (20). The light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting units (142) is reflected by the reflective liquid crystal element (20), transmitted through the light-emitting unit (142) of the light-emitting device (10), and formed into an image by the optical member (30).

  • Patent number: 9138201
    Abstract: An ultrasonic probe for supporting spine surgery serving as a tissue insertion type ultrasonic probe comprises an insertion unit and an operation unit. On a front end portion of the insertion unit, a tactile member and a transducer unit are provided. The insertion unit comprises a pipe, and a sheath tube provided outside of the pipe. An FPC board serving as a line sheet is provided in the pipe. The FPC board is inserted in a rounded shape similar to a tube along an inner wall surface of the pipe. A large number of signal lines are formed on the FPC board through printing. A ground cable is provided in an inside space of the FPC board. In the operation unit, a rear end portion of the FPC board and a front end portion of another FPC board are connected by thermo compression bonding.

  • Patent number: 8679023
    Abstract: There is provided an ultrasonic probe for supporting spine surgery which can execute both inspection by tactile sense and inspection by ultrasound diagnosis. A front-end component provided at a front end of an insertion unit. The front-end component comprises a metal component and a resin component, and the metal component comprises a tactile member and an anchor. The resin component comprises a cap portion and a surrounding portion. An insertion portion in the front-end component is inserted into a front end portion of a pipe. The anchor and the front end portion are in close proximity with a certain distance therebetween, such that insulation is secured and vibration transmitted from a head can be transmitted from the anchor to the pipe in a superior manner.
