Abstract: In order to avoid generation of black unevenness caused by the water intrusion into a liquid crystal display device, there is to provide a liquid crystal display device including a display area and a terminal portion, in which a TFT substrate with an organic passivation film formed and an opposite substrate are adhered to each other by a seal portion and a liquid crystal is enclosed there, wherein in the seal portion of the TFT substrate, a groove-shaped through-hole is formed in the organic passivation film to surround the display area, a water absorption layer formed of the same material in the same process as that of the organic passivation film is formed within the groove-shaped through-hole, and the water absorption layer is not covered with the inorganic insulating film.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure detection unit and a pressure sensor using the same that have a high degree of airtightness and that are capable of suppressing bonding defects even when the base is made of ceramics. In the pressure detection unit, a linear expansion coefficient of ceramic that forms the ceramic base 110 is set to ?1 (10?6/K) and a linear expansion coefficient of metal that forms the metal ring member 140 is set to ?2 (10?6/K), a relationship of 0.7×?2??1 exists between the linear expansion coefficients ?1 and ?2, and the metal ring member 140 is formed of a metal such as SUS420J2, SUS410, or SUS444, for example, which does not precipitate aluminum oxide on a brazing surface with a projecting portion.

Abstract: To provide a stepping motor which can precisely and reliably detect stopping of a rotor with respect to a stopper with a simple structure, i.e., positioning of a base point of the rotor, and provide a motorized valve using it. The stepping motor includes a stator 55 and a rotor 57 rotationally driven by the stator 55, and a detection rotor 47 detecting a rotation position of the rotor 57. The detection rotor 47 is rotatably disposed on a co-axial center L with the rotor 57 and rotationally driven via a rotation drive mechanism between the rotor 57 and the detection rotor 47. The rotation drive mechanism has a drive play having a predetermined length or angle in the rotation direction.

Abstract: An expansion valve 1 integrated with a solenoid valve includes a valve body 10 and a valve chamber 20 formed inside the valve body 10 to which a high-pressure refrigerant is introduced. A valve member 30 forms a throttle flow path between a valve seat 40, and controls the amount of refrigerant flowing therethrough. The valve body 30 is operated by the movement of a stopper member 80 of a power element 60 via an actuating rod 100. The high-pressure refrigerant acts on a surface 80a of the stopper member 80 opposite to a diaphragm 70 via a pressure equalizing passage 12, a connecting chamber 22 of a solenoid valve 200, and a pressure equalizing passage 14. The stopper member 80 is sealed between the guide member 90, so that the high-pressure refrigerant does not act directly on the diaphragm.

Abstract: An orifice member 10 disposed at an orifice 32a of a valve body 30 is formed of a material such as stainless steel harder than the aluminum material forming valve body 30. Orifice member 10 is substantially cylindrical, with one open end 10a having a flat surface that comes in planar contact with a contact surface of valve body 30 constituting orifice 32a, and the other open end being tapered so as to oppose to a valve member 32d. A screw portion is formed to the outer side of orifice member 10 enabling it to be engaged to a screw portion formed on orifice 32a of valve body 30. The joint can be secured by applying and curing an adhesive between orifice member 10 and orifice 32a. Since orifice member 10 comes in planar contact with valve body 30 having an anodized aluminum film, the film is not damaged by orifice member.
