  • Publication number: 20200333937
    Abstract: An input device includes a support base member, a sensor unit having a plurality of electrode units (first electrodes and second electrodes) provided on the support base member, an extension extending outward from the support base member, a lead wire provided along a first principal surface of the extension and electrically conductive with the plurality of electrode units, and a flexible wiring substrate having a connection terminal electrically conductive with the lead wire in a principal surface and disposed facing the first principal surface of the extension. The extension has a bend allowance section that allows bending between an extension end and a connection base connected to the support base member. The lead wire is electrically conductive with the connection terminal at the extension-end side of the extension relative to the bend allowance section. A cover is provided entirely over the lead wire located at the bend allowance section.

  • Patent number: 10809832
    Abstract: A sensor base material and a photic base material such as a polarizing plate are stacked together. An opening is formed in the photic base material. Although the joining part of a flexible wiring board is joined to the sensor base material, a large portion of an opposing edge facing a display and input region, the opposing edge being part of the joining part, is positioned in the opening, so bubbles along the opposing edge are less likely to be generated, making the display quality of the display and input region less likely to be affected. In addition, since the both-side substrate ends of the joining part are sandwiched between the sensor base material and the photic base material, the joining part is less likely to be deformed, making it easy to prevent damage to the sensor base material.

  • Patent number: 10564784
    Abstract: A capacitive sensor having a bending portion and a flat portion and bendable in the bending portion includes a plurality of first transparent electrodes, a plurality of second transparent electrodes, a coupling member, and a bridge wiring member. The first transparent electrodes are arranged in a first direction. The second transparent electrodes are arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction. The coupling member is provided integrally with either the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes. The bridge wiring member is provided separately from the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes, to which the coupling member is not provided, in a portion where the bridge wiring member crosses the coupling member. A direction in which the coupling member extends in the bending portion is different from a direction in which the coupling member extends in the flat portion.

  • Publication number: 20200040850
    Abstract: A premixed compression ignition engine system includes an engine, a fuel injector, a water injector, and a controller. The controller conducts: a compression-stroke mid-period injection that causes a fuel injector to inject fuel to form a fuel-air mixture in a surrounding space of a combustion chamber; a compression top-dead-center injection that causes the fuel injector to inject fuel to form a fuel-air mixture in the central space of the combustion chamber after the compression-stroke mid-period injection; and a water injection that causes a water injector to inject water to the surrounding space of the combustion chamber at a timing from commencement of the compression-stroke mid-period injection to commencement of the compression top-dead-center injection.
