  • Patent number: 11209692
    Abstract: A color filter including a substrate and colored parts formed on the substrate. The substrate has a surface having rectangular unit regions defined by evenly dividing the surface along a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Each of the rectangular unit regions has four rectangular sub-regions which are three colored regions and one uncolored region. A first colored region has a first boundary with the uncolored region and a second boundary with a second colored region. A first colored part is formed in the first colored region with a first gap being formed in the first direction between the first boundary and a side of the first colored part facing the first boundary, and with a second gap greater than the first gap being formed in the second direction between the second boundary and a side of the first colored part facing the second boundary.

  • Patent number: 10073317
    Abstract: A color reflective display includes a substrate, an electrode pattern layer formed on the substrate, a reflective display-material layer formed on the electrode pattern layer, a light-transmissive electrode layer formed on the reflective display-material layer, a transparent layer formed on the transmissive electrode layer, and a color filter layer formed on the transparent layer and including an array of colored pixels. The color reflective display satisfies a following first formula when (0.54×C)?15 ?m is zero or a positive value: (0.54×C)?15 ?m?D?(0.54×C), and the color reflective display satisfies a following second formula when (0.54×C)?15 ?m is a negative value: 0<D?(0.54×C), where C represents a distance from the reflective display-material layer to the color filter layer, and D represents a distance between adjacent colored pixels of the color filter layer.

  • Patent number: 9988544
    Abstract: An ink for a piezoelectric driving-type inkjet for printing on a resin-based ink receiving layer formed on one surface of a reflection-type display contains 30% by weight to 75% by weight of a solvent which hardly dissolves the ink receiving layer and 3% by weight to 30% by weight of an alcohol-based solvent which easily dissolves the ink receiving layer.

  • Patent number: 5390074
    Abstract: A chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor includes a cathode conductive layer provided on a whole surface of a cathode layer formed on an outer surface of a capacitor element, which whole surface is opposite to a surface where an anode lead wire is lead out, and on a surface adjacent to the first-mentioned whole surface. With this arrangement, if the capacitor element is obliquely inserted into a mold during the formation of a resin shell, the inner walls of the mold will not come into contact with cathode layer of the capacitor element, but will instead come into contact with the cathode conductive layer to prevent the cathode layer from being exposed to the resin shell. As a result, any possible damage to the cathode layer of the capacitor element when the peripheral surface of the resin shell on a cathode side is subjected to roughening is prevented to eliminate defects in electric characteristics such as leakage of electric current and a tan.delta. value.

  • Patent number: 5005107
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor of this invention comprises an electrode provided with an anode lead; a dielectric oxide film, a solid electrolyte layer, a carbon layer, and a cathode layer, which are successively formed on the surface of the electrode; a positive terminal connected to the anode lead; and a negative terminal connected to the cathode layer by means of an electrically conductive adhesive; wherein at least one of the cathode layer and the electrically conductive adhesive comprises a polymer and an electrically conductive powder containing palladium. The capacitor displays little variation in the value of tan .delta. and slight changes in current leakage even when the capacitor is placed under conditions of high temperature and humidity. Moreover, electrical short-circuit failure of the capacitor rarely occurs.
