Abstract:
An illumination device for a vehicle, includes: a detection unit that detects a person; an illumination unit that illuminates light in a direction toward a road surface, an illumination region of the light being alterable; and a control unit that, in a case in which a person is detected by the detection unit and there is a possibility of collision between the detected person and the vehicle, controls the illumination unit so as to illuminate light at a region in a range of view of the detected person that is separated from the person by a pre-specified distance, and so as to move the light in a direction of movement of the detected person while maintaining the separation at the pre-specified distance.

Abstract:
Provided is a multilayer-type comforter having at least three fabrics as first to third fabrics. A first raw material is interposed between the first fabric and the second fabric. A second raw material is interposed between the second fabric and the third fabric. The first fabric and the second fabric are joined by a baffle-box quilting. The second fabric and the third fabric are joined by a sewn-through quilting. The baffle-box quilting and the sewn-through quilting are different in arrangement. A baffle of the baffle-box quilting formed on the second fabric is sewn to the second fabric by the sewn-through quilting and then cut to stand up from the second fabric.

Abstract:
A tandem type backlight comprises plural light-emitting units (11) including at least one point light source (5) and a light guide plate (7) for causing light from the at least one point light source to be diffused and surface-emitted. In each of the light-emitting units (11), a length X of a light guide area (9) is set so that an area, on a boundary surface between a light-emitting area (10) and the light guide area (9), of a cross-section of a light beam that is emitted from the at least one point light source (5) and is diffused in the light guide plate (7) is equal to or larger than an area of the boundary surface (interface). Moreover, a length X, in a length direction D1, of the light guide area is smaller than a length Y, in the length direction D1, of the light-emitting area.
Abstract:
An illumination device includes a plurality of light source units (20) each having a light guide plate and at least one light source. The light guide plate is provided with an illumination region (4) through which an incident beam of light from the at least one light source is emitted outward and a light guide region (3) through which the incident beam of light from the at least one light source is guided toward the illumination region (4), with the illumination region (4) and the light guide region (3) laid side-by-side. Light source units (20) adjacent to each other along a direction of an optical axis of the at least one light source are disposed so that the illumination region (4) of one of the light source units (20) covers at least a part of the light guide region (3) of the other light source unit (20). A diffuse reflection sheet (33) and a specular reflection sheet (32) or a light absorption sheet are provided between the light guide plate (LG(k)) of the one of the light source units (20) and the at least one light source (BL(k+1)) of the other light source unit (20) in such a way as to be put on top of each other. This makes it possible to suppress uneven irradiation and improve luminance uniformity and color-mixing properties of a tandem illumination device having light guide plates disposed in such a way as to be overlapped.
Abstract:
In an apparatus for manufacturing a ceramic thin film by employing a thermal CVD method, an internal jig, which is provided with a heat radiation material film on the surface, is provided at a position that faces a substrate (S) on which the film is to be formed. The thin film and a semiconductor device are manufactured using such apparatus.
Abstract:
An illumination device includes a plurality of light source blocks defined by a first partition wall and a second partition wall, the light source blocks being provided with LEDs. The illumination device is capable of adjusting a luminance of each of the plurality of light source blocks. A projection section to diffuse the light is provided on a vertex of the first partition wall. As a result, it is possible to prevent a luminance irregularity and a color irregularity from occurring between illumination areas when adjusting the respective luminance in each of the plurality of illumination areas.

An LED driver circuit which provides a cost reduction is provided by employing a circuit configuration which allows a size reduction. In at least one example embodiment, the LED driver circuit includes a first switching element, a second switching element, a sense resistor, a sensing unit, a calculator, and a driver. The plurality of LEDs, the first switching element, the second switching element, and the sense resistor are coupled to each other in series in this order. The sensing unit receives a voltage at a node between the second switching element and the sense resistor, and generates voltage data representing the voltage. The calculator calculates a temporal average of a current flowing through the LEDs based on the voltage data, and generates current data corresponding to the temporal average. The driver drives the first switching element and the second switching element based on the current data.
