  • Publication number: 20100033641
    Abstract: The image display device of the present invention includes a display panel having a front surface for displaying an image and a rear surface facing a side opposite to the front surface, and a chassis to which a circuit-bearing member is attached. The chassis supports the display panel. The chassis has a frame shape that surrounds the display panel from outside in a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the display panel, and that allows the rear surface of the display panel to be exposed. Thereby, heat can be radiated to air directly from the rear surface of the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20090046191
    Abstract: The image pickup device includes a color separation prism, solid-state image sensors, a light shielding layer and a heat radiating layer. The color separation prism, made up of a plurality of prism members, separates light incident thereon through an image pickup lens into a plurality of color components. The plurality of solid-state image sensors are fixed to the plurality of prism members, respectively. The light shielding layer is placed so as to cover surfaces of the color separation prism. The heat radiating layer, formed from a high heat conductivity material, is placed on a surface of the light shielding layer so as to be kept from contact with each of the solid-state image sensors. Thus, in the image pickup device, temperature increases of the solid-state image sensors are suppressed while external-force loads applied to the solid-state image sensors are reduced, with a relatively simple structure.

  • Patent number: 7382855
    Abstract: It is possible to solve the problem of the conventional fluorescent X-ray analysis that a concentration calculation result can be obtained only after elapse of a time set as a measurement time. In the fluorescent X-ray analysis method and fluorescent X-ray analysis device according to the present invention, a sample measurement condition is set before starting the measurement and the measurement concentration of the element contained in the sample and the measurement accuracy are calculated. When the measurement accuracy has become a value satisfying the predetermined measurement condition, the measurement is terminated and the concentration at that moment is outputted.
