Publication number: 20150262764Abstract: An electromagnetic relay has a base, an electromagnet unit mounted on the base, and having a coil, a movable contact plate having a movable contact mounted on a distal end thereof, and a first stationary contact terminal and a second stationary contact terminal. The movable contact plate is moved by electrically energizing and deenergizing the coil of the electromagnet unit to cause the movable contact to make and break contacts with the first stationary contact terminal and the second stationary contact terminal alternately. The first stationary contact terminal and the second stationary contact terminal are implanted vertically in the base. The first stationary contact terminal supports a stationary contact. The second stationary contact terminal supports an insulating member mounted thereon.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2015Publication date: September 17, 2015Applicant: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Tetsuro Tsurusu, Masayuki Noda, Tetsuya Minobe, Shuichi Itoda

Patent number: 7614776Abstract: A diffusing board which can suppress moiré fringes, color flickering and screen brightness deterioration on a screen of a liquid crystal display device. On the surface of a transparent board (83), a pattern wherein substantially rectangular shapes are arranged in lattice by using a synthesized pattern (86) is formed. The synthesized pattern (86) is provided by synthesizing a plurality of first uneven patterns (84) having a linear shape which is long in one direction, and a plurality of concave lens shaped second uneven patterns (85) arranged at random.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2005Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Tetsuya Minobe, Masayuki Shinohara

Publication number: 20090097274Abstract: On a light guide plate (32), a prism sheet (36), an uneven diffuser plate (37) and a correcting optical sheet (38) are placed one over another. Light outputted from the light guide plate (32) in a direction substantially parallel to a light outputting surface (45) is bent to a direction substantially vertical to the light outputting surface (45) by the prism sheet (36). Light which passed through the prism sheet (36) and has a long directivity characteristic in an r axis direction is converted into light having a substantially circular directivity characteristic by passing through the uneven diffuser plate (37). Furthermore, the light which passed through the uneven diffuser plate (37) and has the substantially circular directivity characteristic is converted into light having a directivity characteristic closer to a perfect circle by the correcting optical sheet (38). The correcting optical sheet (38) is formed of a pattern having many polyhedron shapes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2007Publication date: April 16, 2009Applicant: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Masayuki Shinohara, Yasuhiro Tanoue, Yoshihiro Ueno, Kazuhide Hirota, Tetsuya Minobe

Publication number: 20070159845Abstract: A surface light source device for preventing the coloring phenomenon in the proximity of a spot light source of a light guide plate making up the surface light source device is disclosed. A spot light source of LED or the like is arranged at an edge of the light guide plate. A multiplicity of deflection patterns having a triangular cross section are arranged on the surface of the light guide plate opposite to the light exiting surface. The light entering the light guide plate are reflected on the deflection patterns and exit from the light exiting surface.

Patent number: 7121709Abstract: A point-light-source type light emitting portion faces a light incident face located at a corner portion of a light guide plate. A light diffusion pattern for emitting the light in the light guide plate from a light emission face is on the lower surface of the light guide plate. A diffusion prism sheet is on the light emission face. A prism sheet including prisms each having a concentric shape with the light emitting portion at the center is on the lower surface of the diffusion prism sheet, and an uneven diffusion plate is on the upper surface of the diffusion prism sheet. Light emitted from the light emission face of the light guide plate along the light emission face is deflected in the direction perpendicular to the light guide plate by the prism sheet, and the angle of beam spread of the light is spread by the uneven diffusion plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2003Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Masayuki Shinohara, Tetsuya Minobe, Isao Makuta, Yoshihiro Ueno, Mamoru Yabe
