  • Publication number: 20240122042
    Abstract: Display devices that suppress complications due to uneven shape of a surface on which a semi-transmissive reflective layer is formed are disclosed. In one example, a display device includes first sub-pixels, second sub-pixels, and third sub-pixels. The first sub-pixel includes a first light emitting element that emits first light and third light, the second sub-pixel includes a second light emitting element that emits second light, and the third sub-pixel includes a third light emitting element that emits first light and third light. The light emitting elements respectively include a first electrode, an organic layer including a light emitting layer, a second electrode, and a semi-transmissive reflective layer, and a resonator structure is configured by the first electrode and the semi-transmissive reflective layer. The heights of the semi-transmissive reflective layers in the first light emitting element and the third light emitting element are the same.

  • Publication number: 20230170831
    Abstract: Provided is a work machine capable of improving workability. The work machine is provided with: a motor 14; a first power supply unit 180 connected to a battery pack 5 and supplying a boosted power to the motor 14; and a second power supply unit 130 connected to an external AC power supply and supplying a boosted power to the motor 14. The voltage and current of the first power supply unit 180 and the voltage and current of the second power supply unit 130 can be variably controlled by a control circuit 182 and a control circuit 136, respectively. The control circuits 136, 182 perform control so that the power output from the respective first power supply unit 180 and the second power supply unit 130 is combined and supplied to the motor 14.

  • Patent number: 11020846
    Abstract: Provided is a work tool that can work suitably in cooperation with an attachment device connected to a main body of the work tool to enhance work efficiency. The work tool includes a main body 2, and a control circuit 71 configured to provide control over the main body 2. The main body 2 includes a motor 3, an end-bit mount portion 10 and an end bit 14 as a work part configured to be driven by the motor 3 to perform a work. A dust collector 100 is connectable to the main body 2 to assist the work. The control circuit 71 is configured to detect whether the dust collector 100 is connected to the main body 2 and change the control over the main body 2 based on whether the connection is established or not.

  • Publication number: 20180345433
    Abstract: An electrically powered tool (1) includes a motor (10), a battery pack (5) supplying electric power to the motor (10), a battery voltage detection circuit (17) detecting battery voltage, a current detection circuit (15) detecting current flowing through the motor (10), and a microcomputer (20) controlling driving of the motor (10). The microcomputer (20) discriminates a load state of the motor (10) according to whether or not the current flowing through the motor (10) is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and the microcomputer (20) can change the threshold value in accordance with the battery voltage. When the current flowing through the motor (10) remains below the threshold value for a predetermined period of time, the microcomputer (20) stops the supply of electric power to the motor (10).

  • Publication number: 20170122304
    Abstract: A high-pressure washing machine is provided, which can stop a brushless motor even if the function of a microcomputer declines. The high-pressure washing machine is provided as a high-pressure washing machine 10 having a pump 12 which sucks and discharges a washing solution and a brushless motor 14 supplied with current to drive the pump 12. The high-pressure washing machine 10 includes an inverter circuit 29 which when the pump 12 driven by power from the brushless motor 14 discharges the washing solution, controls the rotation speed of the brushless motor 14, a driver circuit 30, a microcomputer 31, and a motor operation stopping circuit 37 which detects the discharge pressure of the pump 12 and which based on the result of the detection, switches on and off an electric circuit E1, which supplies current to the brushless motor 14.
