  • Publication number: 20130153393
    Abstract: A cover glass integrated sensor has an excellent visibility of sharp outlines of the display screen as seen through the cover glass and has a sense of unity in appearance in portions surrounding the display screen. The cover glass integrated sensor includes a cover glass and a capacitance type film sensor. The cover glass includes a glass substrate and a first frame-like light-blocking layer made of a screen printing film formed on peripheral portion on the rear surface of the glass substrate. The capacitance type film sensor has a second frame-like light-blocking layer made of an exposure/development product of color resist material formed on a periphery of the front surface. The capacitance type film sensor is attached to a rear surface of the cover glass. An inner edge of the second frame-like light-blocking layer is closer to the center than an inner edge of the first frame-like light-blocking layer.

  • Patent number: 8160659
    Abstract: A portable device including a transparent cover (1) having a light transmittance of not less than 50%. A circuit pattern of a conductive material is provided in the cover between two sheet-like transparent substrates (5a). A device main body (2) is coupled to the transparent cover 1 thereto in an openable/closable manner such that members provided on a surface thereof are concealed or exposed by the transparent cover (1) being opened or closed. An open/close determination part (7) is provided for determining whether the transparent cover is open or closed, and function switching parts (22, 23) are provided for switching functions of the circuit pattern based on the determination of the open/close determination part as to whether the transparent cover is open or closed.

  • Patent number: 7847753
    Abstract: A transparent antenna for a display, for example, a portable telephone, the transparent antenna performing good transmission and reception, not bulky, and not impairing design of an apparatus. The transparent antenna for a display has an insulating sheet-like transparent substrate and has a planar antenna pattern formed on the surface of the transparent substrate. An electrically conductive section of the antenna pattern is constructed from an electrically conductive thin film of a mesh structure, outlines of each mesh are constituted from extra fine bands with substantially the same width, and the light transmittance of the section where the antenna pattern is formed is equal to or more than 70%.
