  • Publication number: 20100259706
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element 110; and a lens section 132 covering over the light-emitting element 110. The lens section 132 includes an entrance surface S1 on which light from the light-emitting element 110 is incident; an exit surface S2 from which the light incident on the entrance surface S1 is emitted; and an optical axis L extending so as to penetrate the entrance surface S1 and the exit surface S2. A concave section 132a is formed in an area of the exit surface S2, which contains the optical axis L, and two flat sections 132b are formed so as to face each other across the optical axis L. The exit surface S2 defines an upwardly-protruding curved surface formed between the two flat sections 132b, and the optical axis L is coincidence with a reference optical axis of the light-emitting element 110.

  • Patent number: 6945789
    Abstract: A display module is composed of: a display panel (1) including a display layer and a terminal pattern (1c) connected with an electrode for driving the display layer and formed on the edge portions of the display panel; and a flexible board (2) including a main portion (2a) having an electrode terminal for establishing electrical connection with the terminal pattern and having a geometry approximately the same as the display panel, and a connector portion (2b) connected to the electrode terminal and used for establishing connection with an external circuit. The flexible board is integrated with the display panel by overlapping the main portion with the display panel, and the electrode terminal is arranged so as to face the terminal pattern and connected with the terminal pattern.
