  • Publication number: 20170012241
    Abstract: A light emitting apparatus (10) includes a substrate (100), an insulating layer (160), a light emitting element (102), a coating film (140), and a structure (150). The insulating layer (160) is formed over one surface of the substrate (100), and includes an opening (162). The light emitting element (102) is formed in the opening (162) . The coating film (140) is formed over the one surface of the substrate (100), and covers a portion of the light emitting element (102), the insulating layer (160), and the one surface of the substrate (100). The coating film (140) does not cover another portion of the substrate (100) (for example, a portion of an end portion: hereinafter, referred to as a first portion).

  • Patent number: 9492143
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasonic diagnosis device which is provided with a shutter mechanism. The shutter mechanism conceals an opening portion (a passage for a rotation shaft member), which is uncovered behind an operation panel when the operation panel moves forward, so as to enhance the appearance and safety. The shutter mechanism has a pair of first shutter plates and a pair of second shutter plates, the pairs overlapping each other. Each shutter plate rotates about a predetermined rotational shaft which does not slide back and forth. Each shutter plate has a pin slot into which a slide pin is inserted. A pair of slide pins are provided on a member that slides back and forth. When the pair of slide pins move forward, the contact relationship between the pair of slide pins and a plurality of pin slots causes the pair of first shutter plates to start closing first, and subsequently the pair of second shutter plates start closing.

  • Patent number: 9380997
    Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnosis device wherein, in order to reliably stop the movement of a display unit by a simple mechanism during transportation of the device, a display unit restraint mechanism is provided with: a fixed portion which has a receiving groove for receiving a handle main unit provided on the display unit; and a rotation portion which moves rotationally in relation to the fixed portion. When the rotation portion is rotated with the handle main unit received in the receiving groove, the upper side of the handle main unit becomes covered with a cover portion. In this state, a hook member protrudes outward from the rotation portion and is engaged with an upper end portion to serve as a strut.

  • Patent number: 9352654
    Abstract: A slider is slightly moved in a direction in which both side surfaces of the slider come in contact with inclined surfaces of impact mitigating parts of neighboring contact strip pieces. For this reason, the inclined surface of the impact mitigating part of the contact strip piece which the slider approaches is relatively downwardly slid with respect to one side surface of the slider. In addition, the inclined surface of the impact mitigating part of the contact strip piece from which the slider moves away is relatively upwardly slid with respect to the other side surface of the slider. As a result, since an impact generated between the contact strip piece and the slider is mitigated by the impact mitigating part without fitting the slider into a stepped section between the neighboring contact strip pieces, the slider is smoothly transferred from the one contact strip piece of the neighboring contact strip pieces to the other contact strip piece.

  • Publication number: 20160072095
    Abstract: A light emitting device (10) includes a substrate (100), an organic EL element (102), a buffer film (210), and a sealing film (220). The organic EL element (102) is formed over the substrate (100). The sealing film (220) is located over the substrate (100) and over the organic EL element (102), and seals the organic EL element (102). In addition, the buffer film (210) is located between the organic EL element (102) and the sealing film (220), and comes into close contact with the sealing film (220). The sealing film (220) includes at least one layer formed of, for example, an oxide.

  • Publication number: 20160049616
    Abstract: A second electrode (150) is formed of a semi-transparent film. A light-transmitting film (210) and a reflective film (220) are formed on the second electrode (150). A laminated structure of the second electrode (150), the light-transmitting film (210), and the reflective film (220) is also formed between organic EL elements (lamination portion of a first electrode (110), an organic layer (140), and the second electrode (150)) adjacent to each other. A portion of external light entering a substrate (100) is reflected by the second electrode (150), and the remainder passes through the second electrode (150). Light passing through the second electrode (150) is reflected by the reflective film (220) through the light-transmitting film (210). A portion of this reflected light is emitted to the outside through the second electrode (150), but the remainder is reflected by the second electrode (150) and is directed to the reflective film (220) again.

  • Patent number: 9055910
    Abstract: The disclosed ultrasonic diagnosis device is provided with an attitude correction mechanism, between a tilt section and a display unit, for eliminating inclination of the display unit caused by drooping down of the end portion of an arm mechanism. The attitude correction mechanism has a shaft member and a bearing, and rotates the display unit about the normal of a display surface thereof. A prong enters a slit, thereby preventing the display unit from rotating more than necessary.
