  • Patent number: 11923206
    Abstract: An object is to provide a display device with excellent display characteristics, where a pixel circuit and a driver circuit provided over one substrate are formed using transistors which have different structures corresponding to characteristics of the respective circuits. The driver circuit portion includes a driver circuit transistor in which a gate electrode layer, a source electrode layer, and a drain electrode layer are formed using a metal film, and a channel layer is formed using an oxide semiconductor. The pixel portion includes a pixel transistor in which a gate electrode layer, a source electrode layer, and a drain electrode layer are formed using an oxide conductor, and a semiconductor layer is formed using an oxide semiconductor. The pixel transistor is formed using a light-transmitting material, and thus, a display device with higher aperture ratio can be manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20050184494
    Abstract: An airbag device with a curtain airbag mounted along the roof line of the vehicle and a cascade type inflator. The inflator is divided into sections and positioned along the length of the airbag. The divided inflator eliminates the need to bend or contort the inflator when installed in a vehicle. Deployment of the airbag is controlled by a controller.

  • Patent number: 5044291
    Abstract: A front operation panel is provided on a housing of an electrically controlled sewing machine, which provides a pattern list indicating a plurality of stitch patterns in a specific pattern group. One of the stitch patterns may be selected in direct reference to the pattern indication and the selected one is represented in a display section in the operational panel. The operational panel comprises a display board having the pattern list and the display section and a transparent cover superposed on the display board which includes a plurality of pressure-sensitive elements to be selectively depressed to designate the pattern indication in the pattern list. The display board may be switched to another information menu which is applicable to input operation of an original stitch pattern by successively inputting needle dropping points which should be enough to define a configuration of the original stitch pattern.

  • Patent number: 4981096
    Abstract: An electronically controlled sewing machine, comprises a current detecting device for detecting a value of current flowing through a stepping motor that drives a machine part and current setting means for setting a value of current to be applied to the stepping motor. The sewing machine further includes a control device (CPU) for storing a plurality of different values of currents to be applied to the stepping motor and driving the stepping motor until the stepping motor passes through an initial position thereof. The control device stops the stepping motor at a predetermined angular position thereof spaced from the initial position. The control device supplies the different values of currents to the stepping motor in a predetermined sequence from a smallest value to a larger value of current under a predetermined program to drive the stepping motor until the stepping motor reaches the initial position thereof.
