Publication number: 20080024770Abstract: Provided is a differential refractive index detector having a light receiving element, a zero glass, a zero glass driving unit and a storing portion, and is capable of performing purging operation thoroughly based on a unified standard. The light receiving element receives a measuring light passing through cells (S, R) to generate a slit image. The zero glass makes the slit image parallelly move on the light receiving element. The zero glass driving unit makes the zero glass rotate. The storing portion stores a rotating angle of the zero glass when the same solution fills up the two cells (S, R). When a purging operation for replacing a reference solution in the flow cell is performed, the stored rotating angle is taken as a standard value for being compared with a current rotating angle of the zero glass. If the two angles are the same, the purging operation is finished.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Applicant: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Takafumi NAKAMURA

Patent number: 7119857Abstract: There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a flat display in which a switching element (TFT) having caused a display pixel defect can securely be repaired. The flat display of the present invention is formed by forming a semiconductor layer and an auxiliary capacity electrode in the same layer on a glass substrate, forming a gate insulating film on a top surface, forming a gate electrode and an auxiliary capacity feeder in the same layer on the top surface, forming an interlayer insulating film on a top surface, and forming a source electrode and drain electrode on a top surface. Since a wiring portion between the auxiliary capacity electrode and the pixel electrode is irradiated with laser to increase the resistance of a wiring portion, the pixel electrode fails to be influenced by a voltage of the auxiliary capacity feeder, occurrence of the display pixel defect can be reduced, and manufacture yield can be enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2000Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Takafumi Nakamura, Yasuyuki Hanazawa
