Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device (1) of the present invention includes a display panel (3) and a backlight (2) (an illumination device). The backlight (2) includes a light-emitting layer (20) in which a plurality of light sources (5) are scattered and a diffuser (7) (a diffusion layer) that is formed on the light-emitting layer and diffuses light from the light-emitting layer. The light sources (5) that are present within the light-emitting layer (20) emit light in a direction (a direction of an arrow) substantially parallel to a boundary surface between the light-emitting layer (20) and the diffuser (7). In the diffuser (7), a transmittance of light in an area (7c) close to each of the light sources is smaller than a transmittance of light in an area that is far from each of the light sources.
Abstract:
A method for producing a rare earth sintered magnet uses granules having an excellent fluidity to improve the dimensional accuracy and production of a compact formed of the granules without significant property losses. The granules are formed by adding an organic liquid to primary alloy particles having a predetermined composition to produce granules having the primary alloy particles adhered together by the organic liquid. Preferably, from 1.5 to 15.0% by weight of the organic liquid is added to the primary alloy particles.
Abstract:
A backlight (2; illumination device) includes multiple light guide units (11) each including: a light source (5); and a light guide plate (7) for diffusing, for surface emission, light from the light source (5). Each light guide plate (7, 7 . . . ) includes: a light-emitting section (7b) having a light-emitting surface (7a); and a light guide section (7c) for guiding, to the light-emitting section, light from the light source (5), a light-emitting section (7b) of one of any adjacent two of the light guide plates (7) being provided above a light guide section (7c) of the other light guide plate (7). The light-emitting surface (7a) includes: a parallel surface (7d) parallel to an irradiation object; and a slant surface (7e) slanted relative to the irradiation object, the slant surface being provided between the parallel surface (7d) and the light guide section (7c); and the slant surface (7e) has gradients varying continuously relative to the parallel surface (7d) in such a manner as to form a curved surface continuously connecting with the parallel surface. This allows for production of an illumination device capable of achieving better uniformity in light emitted from its light sources.
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:
A first light guide plate of a light-emitting element is formed by a plurality of strip-shaped light guide bodies arranged in parallel with each other, where each strip-shaped light guide body has a light incident surface on which light from a light source is incident, and a light-emitting surface from which light from the light incident surface is emitted, and on which a plurality of prisms are formed. A second light guide plate of the light-emitting element is positioned so as to face the light-emitting surface side of the first light guide plate, has prisms formed on a surface of the first light guide plate side in a shape that meshes with a shape of the prisms of the first light guide plate, and is formed by a fewer number of light guide bodies arranged in parallel than the strip-shaped light guide bodies.

Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention discloses a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly a transmissive-type liquid crystal display device including a backlight on a back of a panel. The liquid crystal display device includes a gray scale signal generating portion including an input image luminance level analyzing circuit that obtains luminance level distributions of respective colors based on RGB image signals, a correction coefficient calculating circuit that calculates correction coefficients based on the luminance level distributions of the respective colors, and an image signal correcting circuit that corrects luminance levels indicated by the RGB image signals, based on the correction coefficients; and an amount-of-backlight-light control circuit that adjusts amounts of lights emitted from LEDs for the respective colors based on the correction coefficients. In the correction coefficient calculating circuit, correction coefficients are calculated such that a difference in luminance level distribution between the RGB colors is reduced by corrections to luminance levels. In the amount-of-backlight-light control circuit, the amounts of lights emitted for the respective colors are adjusted such that changes in luminance levels and changes in the amounts of lights emitted are mutually cancelled out.

The invention provides a flame-retardant processing agent capable of imparting durable flame retardance to polyester-based fiber products without using halogen-based flame retardant. The flame-retardant processing agent is obtained by dispersing at least one phosphoric acid amide selected from the group consisting of 1,4-piperazinediyl bis(diarylphosphate), diaryl aminophosphate and aryl diaminophosphate as a flame retardant in a solvent in the presence of a nonionic surfactant or an anionic surfactant.
