  • Publication number: 20240131830
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a display device includes applying an adhesive to a display panel having a display surface where an image is displayed and an opposite surface on an opposite side of the display surface, on the opposite surface, sprinkling a gap member of a given size on the opposite surface of the display panel to which the adhesive has been applied, and sticking together a board surface of a color separation element and the opposite surface of the display panel on which the gap member has been sprinkled, with the adhesive between the board surface and the opposite surface, the color separation element dispersing light from a light source and emitting a plurality of rays of separated light with wavelengths different from each other.

  • Publication number: 20240134223
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a color separation element configured to disperse light from a light source and to emit, to the display panel, a plurality of rays of separated light with wavelengths different from each other, and an adhesive portion that contains a gap member of a given size and that bonds the display panel to the color separation element. The adhesive portion has a recessed portion that is separated from one of the display panel and the color separation element in side view.

  • Publication number: 20240126395
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a detection device includes: drive electrodes; detection electrodes; and dummy electrodes in a floating state. The drive electrodes include a first electrode extending in a first direction, and a second electrode disposed at a predetermined interval from the first electrode in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The detection electrodes include a third electrode extending in the second direction. The dummy electrodes include a fourth electrode disposed at a predetermined interval from the third electrode in the first direction. The first electrode includes a first extension part, a second extension part, and a first coupling part. The second electrode includes a third extension part, a fourth extension part, and a second coupling part. The third electrode includes a fifth extension part, a sixth extension part, and a third coupling part. The fourth electrode includes a seventh extension part, and an eighth extension part.

  • Patent number: 11921386
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel, a first wiring board mounted on the display panel, and a backlight unit located on a back surface side of the display panel to illuminate the display panel. The backlight unit includes a casing which includes a bottom plate including a first slit and a side plate standing at the bottom plate, and a light guide arranged in the casing. The first wiring board passes between the side plate and the light guide and through the first slit and is bent toward a back surface side of the casing.

  • Patent number: 5880169
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel sulfonium salt having at least one acid labile group attached to a phenyl group in a molecule and a normal, branched or cyclic C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkylsulfonate anion. The novel sulfonium salt is effective for increasing the dissolution contrast between exposed and unexposed areas. Upon exposure, it generates an alkylsulfonic acid which is a weak acid, minimizing the influence of side reaction and deactivation during PEB step. The sulfonium salt is useful in a chemically amplified positive resist composition which lends itself to fine patterning and features high resolution.

  • Patent number: 5824824
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel sulfonium salt having at least one acid labile group attached to a phenyl group in a molecule and a C.sub.2 -C.sub.20 alkylsulfonate or arylsulfonate anion whose alkyl or aryl has as a substituent an electron withdrawing group such as fluorine and nitro group. The novel sulfonium salt is effective for increasing the dissolution contrast between exposed and unexposed areas. Upon exposure, it generates a substituted alkyl or arylsulfonic acid which is a weak acid, minimizing the influence of side reaction and deactivation during PEB step. The sulfonium salt is useful in a chemically amplified positive resist composition which lends itself to fine patterning and features high resolution.

  • Patent number: 5705702
    Abstract: By reacting an aryl Grignard reagent of the following general formula (1) with thionyl chloride and then reacting the reaction product with a triorganosilyl sulfonate or triorganohalide of the general formula (2): (R.sup.6).sub.3 SiY wherein R.sup.6, which may be the same or different, is a monovalent hydrocarbon group and Y is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylsulfonate or arylsulfonate or halogen atom, there is prepared a triarylsulfonium salt of the following general formula (3). ##STR1## In the formulae, each of R.sup.1 to R.sup.5, which may be the same or different, is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, especially alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, dialkylamino, dialkylaminoalkyl, alkylthio or arylthio group and X is a bromine or chlorine atom.
