  • Patent number: 6670757
    Abstract: A plasma display panel (“PDP”) is provided with a protrusion lower than barrier ribs on an inner surface of a back plate substrate, and a phosphor layer formed on a rib surface within a unitary emission unit including a surface of the protrusion, thereby realizing the PDP of high brightness, high luminous efficiency and long operating life. Also, the PDP has a structure, in which a portion of the inner surface of the substrate is opened to a discharge space directly or through a protective layer, so as to improve power consumption remarkably. Further, the invention provides a production of the PDP with superior whiteness by way of controlling a balance of each color with shape of the respective protrusions. Moreover, an electrode can be formed easily and precisely on an upper part of the protrusion by providing a sloped surface for at least one end in a longitudinal direction of the protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20030194460
    Abstract: A mold monitoring apparatus for an injection molding machine captures an image of a cavity portion of an opened mold, and determines the state of the cavity portion by means of image processing. The apparatus includes a light emitting unit, an image capturing unit, and an image processing unit. The light emitting unit projects onto the cavity portion light rays other than visible light rays. The image capturing unit includes an image sensor for capturing reflection light rays that travel from the cavity portion to the image sensor via a filter for blocking visible light rays. The image processing unit determines the state of the cavity portion on the basis of an image signal output from the image sensor and through image processing.
