  • Publication number: 20160322410
    Abstract: An imaging device includes a solid-state image element and an encapsulation section. The solid-state image element has an imaging region. In the imaging region, the solid-state image element receives light which is transmitted through an imaging target placed on the imaging region. The encapsulation section is placed on a surface, on which the imaging region is formed, so as to enclose the imaging target. The solid-state image element is peelable from the encapsulation section to enable the solid-state image element to be reused.

  • Patent number: 8080855
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a protective seal S1 for protecting a transparent member 11 is composed of an organic base 16, adhesive layers 17, and a second adhesive layer 18 having low adhesion. The adhesive layers 17 are provided only on edges corresponding, on the organic base 16, to sides 11b of the transparent member and the second adhesive layer 18 is provided on a portion corresponding, on the organic base 16, to a surface 11a of the transparent member. The organic base 16 is fixed to the sides 11b and the surface 11a of the transparent member 11 with the adhesive layers 17 and 18.

  • Patent number: 7960828
    Abstract: The carrier frame relating to the present invention comprises a base layer member, a frame layer member, and a positioning layer member having multiple openings for storing electronic components. A spring layer member is mounted in a hollow part surrounded by the frame layer member between the positioning layer member and the base layer member. At each opening of the spring layer member, a small spring providing an elastic force for fastening the electronic components between an edge of the corresponding opening of the positioning layer member and the small spring is formed integrally with the spring layer member. At one end in the longitudinal direction of the spring layer member, a large spring providing an elastic force along the longitudinal direction by being in contact with an inner surface of the frame layer member in the mounted state is formed integrally with the spring layer member.
