  • Patent number: 11860338
    Abstract: Provided is an optical film with a resin substrate adhered to an optically anisotropic layer and suppression of occurrence of optical defects in the optically anisotropic layer. The optical film has a resin substrate having an alignment regulating force and an optically anisotropic layer arranged thereon, in which the optically anisotropic layer contains a liquid crystal compound and a compound having a heteroatom different from the liquid crystal compound, and in a case where a surface of the optical film on an optically anisotropic layer side thereof is a first surface and a surface of the optical film on a resin substrate side thereof is a second surface, and components of the optical film in a depth direction are analyzed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry while irradiating the optical film with an ion beam from the first surface toward the second surface, the obtained profile satisfies a predetermined requirement.

  • Patent number: 11822107
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light absorption anisotropic film excellent in adhesiveness to an adjacent layer, and a laminate and an image display device, in which the light absorption anisotropic film is used. The light absorption anisotropic film is formed from a liquid crystal composition that contains a high-molecular weight liquid crystal compound and a dichroic substance, and is a light absorption anisotropic film in which regarding a signal derived from the dichroic substance detected by a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, a relationship between a maximum intensity Imax in a thickness direction of a film and an intensity Isur on at least one surface of the film satisfies Expression (I-1) 2?Imax/Isur.

  • Patent number: 8426042
    Abstract: A material for an organic electroluminescence device containing at least phosphorescent metal complex A and phosphorescent metal complex B, metal complex A and metal complex B are both organic metal complexes containing a metal having an atomic weight of 40 or more and a ligand, metal complex A has a specific structure, and metal complex B has the same structure with metal complex A except that one or more atoms directly bonding to ligand structures are substituted with atoms belonging to the same group of the atoms and having a greater atomic weight, and ratio of the content of metal complex B to the content of metal complex A is 0.005% by mass or more and 2% by mass or less.

  • Patent number: 7382295
    Abstract: Since an abnormality is judged by executing a square calculating process with respect to sin ? and cos ? for detecting an abnormality in an angular resolver, a processing time is elongated, and a burden to a CPU is great. Since the invention prepares a map which can judge whether the combination of sin ? and cos ? is normal or abnormal, and judges by mapping the combination of the detected sin ? and cos ?, a process can be easily executed, a processing speed is high, and a burden to the CPU can be reduced. Further, an assist can be maintained by controlling a motor by a rectangular wave current by detecting a rotation angle signal at low resolution level, such as Hall sensors arranged around the motor.

  • Patent number: 7343254
    Abstract: In a resolver digital converter comprising a resolver, a resolver digital conversion part, and an excitation signal generation part, the resolver digital converter for inputting an excitation signal generated in the excitation signal generation part to the resolver and inputting resolver signals outputted from the resolver to the resolver digital conversion part, a locus in which amplitude of a sine component signal among the resolver signals sin(?), cos(?) outputted from the resolver is plotted as the ordinate axis and amplitude of a cosine component signal is plotted as the abscissa axis is approximated by a polygon and when the locus matches with sides of the approximated polygon, it is determined that the resolver is in a normal state and when the locus does not match, it is determined that the resolver is in a failure state.
