Abstract: A displaying apparatus (10) is configured such that illumination light emitted from light sources (15, 15 . . . ) disposed on a back side of a liquid crystal displaying plate (11) illuminates an optically transparent displaying section (16a) of a dial plate (16) provided on a front side of the liquid crystal displaying plate (11) by passing through the liquid crystal displaying plate (11). Further, polarizing plates (13, 14) overlapping the optically transparent displaying section (16a) are cut out from the liquid crystal displaying plate, whereby the illumination light may illuminate the optically transparent displaying section (16a), passing through a liquid crystal displaying plate (111).

Abstract: A separator for sealed cells is provided which attains a high degree of intimate contact with electrode plates, enables the cell to have reduced internal resistance, is less apt to suffer a fatigue phenomenon even upon repetitions of charge/discharge, and improves the life of the cell. Fine rubber particles are adhered to the surface of fibers of a non-woven fabric constituting the separator so that the fine rubber particles are present among the fibers. These fine rubber particles function as elastic bodies to absorb relative positional changes of the fibers and improve the compressive repulsion of the separator.

Abstract: An optical system for magnifying a display panel includes a magnifying lens disposed in front of a display panel. The magnifying lens is constructed with two lenses respectively having convex surfaces opposite each other. At least one of the two convex surfaces is aspherical. A transverse aberration of the magnifying lens is less than the diameter of the pupil of an eye at a point where the eye is positioned. The lens for the optical system is a Fresnel lens whose vortex center is located on its edge. An apparatus for magnifying display panels according to the invention includes an instrument to be viewed distantly and instruments to be viewed not distantly. The instrument to be viewed distantly is disposed distant from the Fresnel lens under a center portion of the Fresnel lens, whereas the instruments to be viewed not distantly are disposed close to the Fresnel lens under an edge portion of the Fresnel lens.
