  • Patent number: 11409158
    Abstract: An optical film is shaped so that a first normal drawn from a starting point of a curve to an outer periphery of an application region is longer than a second normal drawn from the starting point of the curve to an outer periphery of a display region, a third normal drawn from an end point of the curve to the outer periphery of the application region is longer than a fourth normal drawn from the end point of the curve to the outer periphery of the display region, and a fifth normal drawn from a single point on the curve located between the starting point and the end point of the curve to the outer periphery of the application region is shorter than each of the first normal and the third normal.

  • Publication number: 20210282596
    Abstract: A coffee bean grinder 1 has a hopper 2 into which coffee beans are inserted. The grinding unit 3 grinds coffee beans supplied from the hopper 2. The discharge unit 4 discharges coffee beans ground by the grinding unit 3. The mounting unit 5 mounts a portafilter 6 to be closely pressed against the bottom end of the discharge unit 4. The discharge unit 4 has a guide path 41 facing vertically downward, and a tapered section 42 in which the inner diameter increases towards the bottom. A sloped section 502 of a close-fitting member 50b, attached to the bottom end portion of the tapered section 42, is closely pressed against a top surface 63a of the filter basket 63 of the portafilter 6. The tapered section 42 has a hole 44 for allowing air in the airtight space to escape, thereby allowing the coffee beans to fall.

  • Patent number: 10831055
    Abstract: One of pixel electrodes and a common electrode of the liquid crystal display apparatus is a first electrode, and the other one of the pixel electrodes and the common electrode is a second electrode which is disposed between the first electrode and a liquid crystal layer. The second electrode includes linear portions which are formed on each subpixel. Each linear portion includes a bent portion which changes an extension direction of the linear portion. A light shielding layer overlaps a gate wire, a source wire and the bent portion formed on a first subpixel included in a plurality of subpixels in a plan view, and makes an aperture ratio of the first subpixel lower than an aperture ratio of a second subpixel included in a plurality of subpixels and belonging to a pixel identical to a pixel to which the first subpixel belongs.

  • Publication number: 20200271986
    Abstract: A display panel has a plurality of pixel regions to emit light. A second substrate faces a first substrate across a display medium layer, is transparent, includes a part having a thickness of less than 0.3 mm, and has a main surface on the opposite side to the arrangement side of the first substrate. A light-blocking film is arranged on the main surface and on the part, and overlaps a defective pixel region and projects from the defective pixel region by a width W in a plan view taken from the thickness direction of the display panel. The width W is equal to or more than a width W1 that prevents visual recognition of light emitted from the defective pixel region when the display panel is observed from within a viewing angle.

  • Patent number: 10555413
    Abstract: An inverter includes a power substrate mounting power element groups arranged apart from each other, each power element group constituted by power elements arranged, a control substrate disposed apart from the power substrate in a plate thickness direction of the power substrate and mounting an electronic component for controlling the power elements, a capacitor substrate disposed between the power substrate and the control substrate and mounting capacitors, a release member fixed to the power substrate, and a spacer electrically connecting the power substrate and the capacitor substrate. The spacer includes a body portion disposed between two adjacent power element groups of the power element groups and a heat transfer portion disposed outside the power element groups in a direction in which the power elements are arranged and provided at a position not overlapping with the capacitors as viewed in a plate thickness direction of the capacitor substrate.
