  • Patent number: 10269472
    Abstract: A heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap includes an adhesive layer disposed on the inner surface thereof, the adhesive layer including a low-viscosity adhesive layer formed of a resin having a viscosity of 10 Pa·s or less at a shear rate of 1 s?1 at the heat shrinkage temperature and a viscosity of 100 Pa·s or more at a shear rate of 1 s?1 at the maximum continuous use temperature. The heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap is used for waterproofing an exposed portion of electrical wires of an electrical wire bundle such as a wire harness, in which merely by placing the heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap over the exposed portion of electrical wires, waterproofing and water blocking between strands can be achieved, and outflow of the resin during heat shrinking does not occur. A method of waterproofing an electrical wire bundle uses the heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap.

  • Patent number: 10062742
    Abstract: Semiconductor elements deteriorate or are destroyed due to electrostatic discharge damage. The present invention provides a semiconductor device in which a protecting means is formed in each pixel. The protecting means is provided with one or a plurality of elements selected from the group consisting of resistor elements, capacitor elements, and rectifying elements. Sudden changes in the electric potential of a source electrode or a drain electrode of a transistor due to electric charge that builds up in a pixel electrode is relieved by disposing the protecting means between the pixel electrode of the light-emitting element and the source electrode or the drain electrode of the transistor. Deterioration or destruction of the semiconductor element due to electrostatic discharge damage is thus prevented.

A power source potential corresponding to each color of a light emitting element is used as a higher electric potential of a video signal and an electric potential of a power source line in the case that a transistor for controlling a supply of electric current to the light emitting element is a p-channel TFT. Conversely, a power source potential corresponding to each color of a light emitting element is used as a lower electric potential of a video signal and an electric potential of a power source line in the case that a transistor for controlling a supply of electric current to the light emitting element is an n-channel TFT.
