  • Patent number: 7061454
    Abstract: An LED device comprises a white LED device and a red LED device. The white LED device has a substrate, a blue LED mounted on the substrate for emitting blue light, a transparent resin covering the blue LED and including phosphor particles. The phosphor particle has a quality to convert blue light to white light, if the particle contacts with the blue light. The red LED device has a substrate, a red LED mounted on the substrate for emitting red light, and a transparent resin covering the red LED device is disposed so that emitted red light mixes with the white light emitted from the white LED device.

  • Publication number: 20010013976
    Abstract: A light guide is provided for illuminating a liquid crystal display (LCD). The light guide has a reflection surface for reflecting light from a light source to the LCD. A reflection plate is provide adjacent to a rear side surface of the light guide opposite to the light source. The reflection surface of the light guide has saw-toothed grooves. Each of the grooves comprises a front side having a small angle of elevation and a rear side having a large angle of elevation. The light emitted from the light source passes through the light guide and is reflected from the reflection plate and reflected from the rear sides to the LCD.

  • Patent number: 6267370
    Abstract: A card dispensing device has a mechanism for preventing double feeding of cards. The double feed preventing mechanism can be card attitude correction rollers, which adjoin the leading edges of the cards within the card dispensing unit and thickness screws to regulate the vertical dimension of the card feed route. The double feed preventing mechanism can be a plate having a leading edge extending into the card feed route to regulate the vertical dimension of the card feed route.
