Abstract: A light guide plate includes an incident surface on which light outputted from point light sources is incident and an outgoing surface for outputting light incident from the incident surface. A reflection-and-propagation surface for reflecting light toward the outgoing surface is formed in a back surface opposite to the outgoing surface. The outgoing surface is made up of a propagation region adjacent to the incident surface, a propagation auxiliary region adjacent to the propagation region, a first diffusion-and-propagation region adjacent to the propagation auxiliary region, and a second diffusion-and-propagation region adjacent to the first diffusion-and-propagation region. The propagation region, the propagation auxiliary region, and the first diffusion-and-propagation region control hot spots and bright/dark lines in vicinities of the incident surface, while the second diffusion-and-propagation region controls viewing-angle characteristics of the light guide plate.

Abstract: A light guide plate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface receives light in a first direction parallel with the second surface and emits the light towards the first surface in a third direction perpendicular to the first surface. The light guide plate includes a light receiving portion which receives the light; a light guiding path which guides the light in the first direction; and an emitting portion which emits the light by reflecting the guided light towards the first surface in the third direction. The emitting portion includes a plurality of V-shaped grooves extending on the second surface in a second direction crossing the first direction. Each V-shaped groove extends in the first direction and is formed so as to be deepest in the center in the second direction and become shallower as a distance from the center increases.

Abstract: A light guide plate includes an incident surface on which light outputted from point light sources is incident and an outgoing surface for outputting light incident from the incident surface, wherein a reflection-and-propagation surface for reflecting light toward the outgoing surface is formed in a back surface opposite to the outgoing surface.

Hot spots and bright/dark lines in vicinities of the incident surface are controlled primarily by curved portions of prism upper ends formed in the diffusion-and-propagation region, and viewing-angle characteristics of the light guide plate are controlled primarily by linear portions of the prisms.

Abstract: A log management system for analyzing and managing a log acquired in a computer is provided. The system generates log groups each formed of log records with reference to the log. The system identifies active periods, in each of which a display area is active, in the log groups, and compares a start-to-end period from a start time to an end time of a reference log group selected from the log groups with active periods of subject log groups other than the reference operation log group individually to identify one or more subject log groups having an active period included in the start-to-end period. The system individually determines whether to include the identified one or more subject log groups in the same first cluster as the reference log group, based on an active period length of each of the identified one or more subject log groups within the start-to-end period.

Abstract: By using two probe optical systems for measurement by disposing the probe optical systems with a test object sandwiched therebetween, an optical path length of light transmitted through the test object which is identified locally is calculated using an interference signal thereof. In addition, a geometrical thickness of the same part is calculated by measuring positions of the probe optical systems, whereby two calculated values are obtained. Based on the values and a calculated value for a reference object, a refractive index distribution of the test object is obtained.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a client acquires an operation log of operations in the client. A management system acquires a first operation log group consisting of operation log records including an operation log record of an operation in which a first problem is generated from the operation log. The management system stores in advance problem examples associated with operation log groups each consisting of operation log records and with solutions. The management system searches the operation log groups associated with the stored problem examples for an operation log group determined to be similar to the first operation log group based on the operation log records of the first operation log group. The management system determines a solution to one of the problem examples that is associated with the operation log group determined to be similar to the first operation log group, as a solution candidate to the first problem.
