  • Patent number: 8179038
    Abstract: Provided is a display apparatus which can easily bond a drive panel and a sealing panel together. The drive panel includes organic electroluminescence devices on a substrate for drive and extracts light from the side of the organic electroluminescence devices. The sealing panel includes a color filter on a substrate for sealing. The drive panel and the sealing panel are disposed to face each other, and the whole facing surfaces of the drive panel and the sealing panel are bonded together with an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is cured with at least heat, and is made of only one coating liquid or a combination of two or more coating liquids for curing. A temporary fixing portion is formed in an edge portion of the adhesive layer. The temporary fixing portion is made of, for example, an ultraviolet cure resin, and is formed so as to straddle between the sealing panel and the drive panel to align their relative positions.

  • Publication number: 20110197402
    Abstract: Provided is a slide fastener with a separable bottom end stop having both an automatic stopper and the separable bottom end stop, of which structural components can be used for both left- and right-insertions. In the slide fastener (10, 10A) with the separable bottom end stop equipped with both a slider with the automatic stopper and the separable bottom end stop, a stop pawl (55A) for the automatic stopper protruding into an element guide passage (51) via a pawl hole (54) is configured to be movable in the lateral direction to an insert pin (30) side and a box pin (40) side. Accordingly, when the insert pin (30, 30A) is inserted into the element guide passage through a shoulder opening of a top slider (50, 50A) to re-couple separated fastener stringers (16, 17), the stop pawl (55A) can be retreated by the insert pin (30, 30A) as being pushed. Accordingly, the insert pin (30, 30A) can be smoothly inserted deeply to the top slider (50, 50A) with small resistance force.

  • Patent number: 7936338
    Abstract: The invention provides a display unit which can realize reduction in thickness and weight of the display unit by omitting a void between a touch panel and a display panel, and its manufacturing method. Whole faces of the touch panel and the display panel are directly bonded together with an adhesive layer in between. The display panel has a structure wherein a driving substrate in which organic light emitting devices are formed and a sealing substrate are bonded together with an adhesive layer in between. The touch panel has a structure wherein a lower plastic film in which a transparent electrode is formed and a touch-side plastic film in which a transparent electrode is formed are layered so that the transparent electrodes are placed opposite. The display panel is constructed with only the driving substrate, and the organic light emitting devices are sealed by the touch panel instead of the sealing substrate. Therefore, thickness and weight of the display unit can be further reduced.

  • Publication number: 20110041297
    Abstract: There are provided interlock pieces extending from both edge portions of a side-to-side winglike piece provided in a pull-tab retainer toward an anterior wall part and a posterior wall part of the pull-tab retainer. An anterior support wall of an anterior mounting post and a posterior support wall of a posterior mounting post at superior angular corner regions of the internal faces thereof are provided with notches for interlocking of the interlock pieces. When the pull-tab retainer is fitted to the anterior mounting post and the posterior mounting post, the interlock pieces and the notches are interlocked with together to thereby prevent any displacement of the pull-tab retainer in anteroposterior side-to-side directions. Further, at that time, a side end face of the anterior support wall and a side end face of the posterior support wall can be covered up by the pull-tab retainer.

  • Patent number: 7665194
    Abstract: A slide fastener with a slider locking mechanism comprising a slider body, a tab attached to the slider body rotatably, and a slider having a locking pawl formed integrally with the tab, wherein the locking pawl has a pawl portion fitted into between the elements, and the pawl portion comprises: a first contact surface which, when the tab is rotated after sliding operation of the slider is ended, contacts with a first element of an element row attached to a fastener stringer to stop the tab's rotation temporarily; and a second contact surface which, when the slider starts a forced movement in an element separating direction with the tab's rotation stopped, contacts with a second element to stop the slider's forced movement in a state where the tab restarts to rotate and the pawl portion is fitted into between the elements.
