Abstract: An apparatus and method purify hydrogen from a mixed fluid containing gaseous hydrogen, gaseous oxygen, and liquid water. The apparatus has a mixed fluid channel through which the mixed fluid flows; a first gas channel through which a mixed gas containing gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen flows; a second gas channel through which gaseous hydrogen or oxygen flows; a gas-liquid separating membrane forming a wall between the mixed fluid channel and the first gas channel, separating the mixed gas from the mixed fluid of the mixed fluid channel, and providing the separated mixed gas to the first gas channel; and a hydrogen or oxygen separating membrane forming a wall between the first gas channel and the second gas channel, separating gaseous hydrogen or oxygen from the mixed gas of the first gas channel, and providing the separated gaseous hydrogen or oxygen to the second gas channel.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal display panel including a touch panel and a front window, it is possible to reduce the reproduction cost of the touch panel, achieving a high yield in the reproduction of the touch panel. The touch panel and the front window are bonded together by a PET film and a UV curable resin. When air bubbles or other defects are found between the front window and the touch panel, the front window and the touch panel are detached by cutting the UV curable resin by a cutter blade, in order to reproduce the touch panel. The residue of the UV curable resin left on the PET film is removed by detaching the PET film from the touch panel. A tab in which the adhesive is not formed is provided in an end of the PET film, so that the PET film can be easily detached from the touch panel, starting from the tab.

Abstract: A curved-surface-type liquid crystal display device suitable for reduction of thickness and weight of such a display device is provided. A liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal display panel which is formed by sandwiching liquid crystal between a first substrate and a second substrate; a first polarizer which is adhered to a viewer's-side surface of the liquid crystal display panel; a second polarizer which is adhered to a surface of the liquid crystal display panel on a side opposite to the viewer's-side surface of the liquid crystal display panel; and a frame which houses the liquid crystal display panel therein, wherein the liquid crystal display panel is formed into a curved shape in a direction that the viewer's-side surface of the liquid crystal display panel forms a convex surface or a concave surface in a state where the liquid crystal display panel is not housed in the frame.

Abstract: A display device having the hybrid panel structure where a display panel can be adhered to a mold more simply compared to the related art in a state where the display panel is adhered to a front panel is provided. A display device includes a display panel which includes a first substrate and a second substrate, a mold which is arranged on a first substrate side of the display panel, and a front panel which is fixed to a second substrate of the display panel, wherein the front panel is larger than the first substrate in a planar size and has an opaque region on a peripheral portion thereof, a side wall is not formed on a surface of the mold to which a peripheral portion of the first substrate is fixed so that the surface of the mold to which the peripheral portion of the first substrate is fixed is flat.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser of the rib guide type having the thickness of an active layer within a stripe-shaped region thicker than that of the outside, and thus the stripe-shaped region is made to have a waveguide action and, thereby, fundamental mode laser may be achieved.
