Abstract: An ultrasonic bonding device includes a processing member, a biasing member, a first moving unit and a second moving unit. The biasing member biases a pair of separators to the ultrasonic horn. A first moving unit separates the ultrasonic horn and the biasing member from each other with respect to a transport path of the separators. A second moving unit moves the separators and positions a bonding portion of the separators between the ultrasonic horn and the biasing member. The first moving unit has a coupling cam rotationally driven by a driving unit, a first connecting portion coupling the coupling cam and the processing member, and a second connecting portion coupling the coupling cam and the biasing member, and separating the processing member and the biasing member from each other with respect to the transport path by rotation of the coupling cam.

Abstract: A method is used for a pair of bonding composite materials that are each provided with a melting material and a heat-resistant material. Each heat-resistant material includes a heat-resistant member and a binder member. The ceramic separators have ceramic layers that face each other and that are bonded. An ultrasonic wave is applied to the composite materials while applying a pressure thereto with a processing member. Also heat is applied to the binder members with a heating member. Here, the heater heats the binder members to a temperature that is greater than or equal to the glass transition temperature of the binder members and less than the melting point of the binder members.

Abstract: In a display device, a plurality of display panels displaying an image formed by a plurality of pixels are coupled to each other. Each of the display panels includes a display surface having a display region and a non-display region surrounding the display region, and a polarizer provided on the display surface. The polarizer covers the display region and a part of the polarizer extends to the non-display region. A pair of display panels to be coupled to each other are arranged such that parts of the non-display regions overlap with each other. One display panel is located at a display surface side of the other display panel, and the other display panel is located at a rear surface side of the one display panel, the rear surface side being an opposite side to the display surface side.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device capable of input operations comprising a liquid crystal panel 2 and an input unit 4 stacked thereon. The input unit 4 has a front-side substrate 8a lying at a front side and a back-side substrate 8b opposing the front-side substrate 8a. The liquid crystal panel 2 has a first substrate 22a lying at the front side and a second substrate 22b lying at the back side. Since the front-side substrate 8a and the back-side substrate 8b of the input unit 4 are flexible, the input unit 4 is thin and lightweight. Since the second substrate 22b of the liquid crystal panel 2 is flexible, the formation of a distortion pattern in the liquid crystal device is prevented when pressing operation of the input unit 4 is performed.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display element utilizing flexible gas barrier films decreases poor display performance caused by bubble formation. This decrease is achieved by reducing the permeation of gas and water vapor from the gas barrier films into substrates by devising the structure of the element and the configuration in which the element is mounted. Specifically, edges of the substrates forming the liquid crystal display elements are sealed. Additionally, the gas and water vapor saturation solubilities of the liquid crystal material is controlled to improve resistance to bubble formation. The liquid crystal display elements can also be subjected to and/or stored in a reduced pressure. Electronic equipment incorporating liquid crystal display elements can include a guard plate having a minimum thickness and/or spacing from the display elements.
