  • Patent number: 5317438
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device using a flexible film as a panel substrate is produced such that the panel substrate is connected to a drive circuit substrate detachable for reuse, that transparent electrodes on the panel substrate are free of damage from conductive particles in the connection, and that a hotmelt adhesive for connection may be prevented by a simple arrangement from being deteriorated with outside air. The liquid crystal display device employs the panel substrates of flexible film, in which transparent electrode terminals formed on the panel substrate are connected to wiring terminals formed on a drive circuit substrate. A radiation-setting adhesive such as an ultraviolet-curing adhesive and a photo-setting adhesive is coated on a surface of a connection portion forming the transparent electrode terminals of the panel substrate. Conductive members are projectively provided on a surface of a connection portion forming the wiring terminals of the drive circuit substrate.

  • Patent number: 5306102
    Abstract: In the printing apparatus which can carry a plurality kinds of operation modes, it can be determined whether an operation mode of the printing information sent from an external source is HP mode having control code or PS mode without control code. In such a printing apparatus, a simulation printing operation is carried out without printing using an operation mode P, which is a simulation mode of PS mode. As a result of the simulated printing, it is determined whether the printing information has a format that satisfies the format X of PS mode. If it is determined that the printing information has a format that satisfies the format X of PS mode, the printing information is processed as that of PS mode and the printing data is sent to the laser printer engine. On the other hand, if it is determined that the printing information does not have a format that satisfies the format X of PS mode, the printing information is processed as that of HP mode and the printing data is sent to the laser printer engine.
