Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte battery of the invention comprises a non-aqueous electrolyte which contains a chain carbonic ester having a hydrocarbon group with carbon number varied from 4 to 12 and a hydrocarbon group with carbon number varied from 1 to 12, a non-aqueous solvent and a lithium salt; wherein the non-aqueous solvent contains ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate or gamma-butyrolactone, and the sum of volume ratios of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate and gamma-butyrolactone in the non-aqueous solvent is 80% or more.

Abstract: A nonaqueous secondary cell including the following elements: a positive electrode capable of absorbing and releasing lithium; a negative electrode capable of absorbing and releasing lithium; and a nonaqueous electrolyte including a nonaqueoous solvent and a lithium salt dissolved therein wherein the electrolyte contains a vinyl ethylene carbonate compound represented by the general formula (1) 1

Abstract: The present invention can provide the nonaqueous electrolytic secondary battery excellent in cycle life characteristics and characteristics in discharge at a high rate as well as in safety in overcharge without reducing the discharge capacity by using the positive active material, which is obtained from starting materials containing Na and S by a simple production step such as water-washing treatment after synthesis and which contains less than 0.1% by weight of the sulfate group (SO42−), less than 0.024% by weight of Na and/or less than 0.13% by weight of lithium sodium sulfate (LiNaSO4).

Abstract: In this flat panel display unit, a tubular light source is disposed on a thick end face of a light guide plate and a driving circuit substrate is disposed along an end perpendicular to the end face of the light guide plate, thereby achieving thinning or downsizing of the unit.

Abstract: In this flat panel display unit, a tubular light source is disposed on a thick end face of a light guide plate and a driving circuit substrate is disposed along the other end face of the light guide plate, thereby achieving thinning or downsizing of the unit.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel and a flexible printed circuit board. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels which have an insulation substrate, a plurality of first electrodes disposed on the insulation substrate in a matrix form, a second electrode provided opposite to the first electrodes and an optical modulation layer held between the first and second electrodes, and driving circuits integrated on the insulation substrate to drive the pixels. A connecting portion of the printed circuit board is fixed on a main surface of the insulation substrate to supply electrical signals to the display panel. The flexible printed circuit board is provided on a non-display side of the display panel and a part of the other portion than the connecting portion is fixed on the display panel.

Abstract: A flat panel display device includes a driver circuit board, a resin frame, and a metal sheet, the edge portion of which is provided with a U-shaped engagement portion to receive the resin frame. The metal sheet reinforces the resin frame and also shields electromagnetic wave noises from the driver circuit board.

Abstract: One side wall of a liquid crystal display device (11) having a surface iluminant light source (backlight) is formed by one side wall (521) of an outer frame (bezel cover) (500) and a vertical wall of a lamp cover (850). In this liquid crystal display device (11), the lower end of the side wall (521) of the outer frame (500) and the upper end of the cover (850) are provided with bent ends (853, 523) and these bent ends (853, 523) engage with each other. In this way it is possible to make the display than and lightweight while maintaining ample rigidity, Also, the liquid crystal panel (100) is not readily damaged by shocks from outside. Furthermore, replacement of the linear light source (811) is extremely easy.
