Abstract:
Liquid crystal display device includes a lower-level layer such a scan line running in a first direction and an upper-level layer such a signal (data) line running in a second direction intersecting the first direction, these two layers crossing each other. An island region such a semiconductor layer is provided at the crossing portion of the lower-level and upper-level layers to intervene between the lower-level and upper-level layers. The island region has a first edge that extends in the first direction and a second edge that extends in the first direction and is different in coordinate in the second direction from the first edge. The upper-level layer being formed such that a pair of side edges defining the width of the upper-level layer cross respectively with the first and second edges of the island region. The island region may further have a third edge that extends in the second direction to connect the first and second edges.

Abstract:
In a liquid crystal display device of a lateral electric field driving system, coloring problem in display is prevented in all the white, intermediate tone and the black display mode. In this liquid crystal display device: one of an incident side polarizing plate and an exit side polarizing plate has its polarizing axis substantially coincide with the direction of the orientation of a liquid crystal layer; an optical compensating layer is interposed between at least one of transparent substrates and the incident side polarizing plate or the exit side polarizing plate both disposed outside the at least one of the transparent substrates, the optical compensating layer having a refractive index anisotropy with the other polarity other than that in the refractive index of the liquid crystal layer; and, the optical compensating layer has the direction of its anisotropy axis substantially coincide with the direction of the orientation of the liquid crystal layer, provided that the orientation direction includes a predetermined pre-tilt angle.
Abstract:
In an optical recording medium in which at least a heat diffusion layer, a first dielectric layer, an information recording layer and a second dielectric layer are formed in this order on a substrate and signals are recorded and/or reproduced by the light illuminated from the side of the second dielectric layer, it is desirable to optimize recording and/or reproducing characteristics. With this in view, an under layer 3 for optimizing surface properties of a heat diffusion layer 4 is formed between a disc substrate 2 and the heat diffusion layer 4.
Abstract:
Reaction transmitting means of a brake booster includes a parallel combination of a first and a second reaction transmitting path each transmitting a brake reaction from a reaction disc to a valve plunger. The first reaction transmitting path includes a spring charged to a preset load, and the second reaction transmitting path includes a viscoelastic member as may be formed of rubber. With this construction, a hysteresis is obtained in both a low range of servo ratio during an initial phase of operation of a brake booster and a higher range of servo ratio during a later phase of operation, which occur before and after the spring in the reaction transmitting mechanism is compressed, thus allowing a good brake feeling to be maintained.
Abstract:
A parallel field active matrix liquid crystal display comprising a means for varying the intensity of an applied electric field. The intensity of the applied electric field is varied by insulating film slits or electric field shield pixel electrodes. Insulating film slits are defined by removing an insulating film between electrode pairs, in any one or more of a plurality of pairs of electrodes including pixel electrodes and common electrodes within a unit pixel of a display pixel. Alternatively, electric field shield pixel electrodes for shielding part of an electric field are patterned in the same layer as pixel electrodes above several common electrodes of a plurality of pairs of electrodes including pixel electrodes and common electrodes within a unit pixel of a display pixel.
Abstract:
A modular toilet bowl assembly bowl assembly that allows adjustment of the relevant dimensions of the inlet of the outlet as well as the height of a toilet bowl without modifying the toilet bowl body. The toilet bowl includes a toilet bowl and upper drain pipe portion that are formed integrally as a single piece, a lower drain pipe portion that is formed separately from the toilet stool. The lower drain pipe portion may be formed of a series of parts having known dimensions so that by interior moving predetermined parts, the length or height of the toilet bowl can be adjusted.
Abstract:
An active-matrix liquid crystal display device applies a voltage modulated with a high-frequency AC voltage to a common electrode disposed on a substrate which confronts a substrate having a plurality of thin-film transistors as switching elements for pixel electrodes. The modulated voltage applied to the common electrode is effective to reduce the phenomenon of a residual image retained for a long period of time; thereby improving the quality of displayed images.
Abstract:
A slider is attached to a spring with an epoxy adhesive. The thermal expansion coefficient of the spring is set greater than that of the slider by 10% to 60%. In this range, the deformation of the slider is reduced more effectively than when the thermal expansion coefficients of the slider and the spring are set substantially identical. The slider has a crown. The crown is formed by attaching a face of the slider to a concave surface, forming flat another face of the slider opposing the attached face, and disengaging the slider from the concave surface.
