摘要： Counter substrate (color filter substrate) 2 is provided with light-shielding-layer pattern 22 to cover thin-film-transistors 13 in display region 5 and light-shielding-layer pattern 23 at edge portion out of display region to prevent light from leaking from display region 5. Inspection is not carried out to detect defects 21 of light-shielding-layer pattern 23 when counter substrate 2 is assembled, or done to detect them but counter substrate 2 is used in assembling a liquid crystal display device without repair. After defects 21 are detected and their positions are identified, laser light is irradiated to defects 21 on the condition that the liquid crystal display device is kept assembled. Such irradiation of the laser light disturbs alignment of alignment film 25 in portions corresponding to defects 21 in order to prevent the leakage of light from defects.

摘要： A sealing structure includes a housing to accommodate powder, a powder roller having a surface to bear and convey the powder, and an entrance seal disposed between the powder roller and the housing to allow powder remaining on a circumferential surface of the powder roller to enter the housing. A pair of left and right edge seals is provided in a circumferential direction of the powder roller to overlap with outer circumferential surfaces of both ends of the entrance seal, respectively. Both ends of the entrance seal include powder damming sections extended from both ends thereof along the pair of left and right edge seals, respectively. A pair of inner edges of the respective powder damming sections is each sandwiched between a corresponding one of the pair of left and right edge seals and the powder roller while substantially symmetrically inclining from the rotation direction of the powder roller.

摘要： An image forming apparatus, including an image developer to develop an electrostatic latent image and a toner provider to provide a toner from a toner container to the image developer in a direction of gravitational force. The toner container is capable of taking a first position of directing a toner outlet in a horizontal direction; a second position of directing the toner outlet in a direction of gravitational force; and a position of being removed, directing the toner outlet upward relative to the horizontal direction when further rotating from the first position. The toner container includes a main cap member to close the toner outlet when taking the first position and the position of being removed; and a sub-cap member to cover the main cap member while the toner container is displaced from the first position to the position of being removed.
