Publication number: 20240286469Abstract: A USB jack is provided below a bulging part of a door trim. Therefore, the bulging part can prevent rainwater from entering the USB jack. As a result, the USB jack can be provided on the door trim. In addition, since a connection hole is provided in the bulging part, a USB cable can be arranged to extend from an internal space of a storage part to a lower space of the bulging part through the connection hole. As a result, although the USB jack is provided below the bulging part, the USB jack and a smartphone stored in the storage part can be connected by the USB cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: August 29, 2024Applicant: KOJIMA INDUSTRIES CORPORATIONInventors: Shunpei AKAHANE, Naokatsu NOGUCHI, Haruhiko YOSHIDA, Yuusuke OGAWA, Yousuke YAMAMOTO, Tatsuhiko IKUMA, Satoshi KAWAMURA, Kimitaka KURAMOTO, Hisashi HUTATSUYA, Nobuaki TAKAHASHI

Patent number: 7903198Abstract: The present invention relate to a liquid crystal display device using a light emitting diode (LED) module as a light source for backlight. Storing portions (21a-21e) are provided at positions facing a light emitting diode modules (25) on a light guide plate (21) constituting the backlight, and the light emitting diode modules (25) are inserted into the storing portions (21a-21e). Furthermore, under a status where an insulating substrate (26) mounted with the light emitting diode modules (25) is held by a holding plate (28), the holding plate (28) is removably attached to a heat sink substrate (27). The backlight has a structure wherein the light emitting diode module (25) can be replaced. Furthermore, since heat generated at the light emitting diode module (25) can be efficiently dissipated to the heat sink substrate (27), temperature increase of the light emitting diode module (25) is suppressed, and lifetime can be lengthened, and deterioration of luminous efficiency can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2006Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Kazutoshi Abe, Naoya Imamura, Satoshi Kuramoto
