Abstract:
An electro-optical device includes: an electro-optical panel having a first substrate, a second substrate, and an electro-optical substance interposed between the first and the second substrates; a third substrate arranged on the second substrate; a fourth substrate having a flexibility and arranged on the third substrate via a spacer; a position detector provided on the third substrate and detecting a pressed position on the fourth substrate based on changes in surface waves generated on the third substrate; and a resin film provided on the fourth substrate and opposed to the third substrate.
Abstract:
An electro-optical device substrate is provided comprising a base, and a plurality of wirings formed on the base. In at least one of the wirings, there is, in a bent portion of the wirings, a portion whose line width W0 gradually increases from a first side of the base to a second side. By preparing a portion having a large line width lowers the wiring resistance of the wirings, thereby preventing crosstalk from being generated in a display region of the electro-optical device.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an electro-optic device having a panel structure including an electro-optic material disposed between a pair of substrates, a spacer disposed between the pair of substrates to define the gap therebetween, and a color filter provided on one of the pair of substrates includes forming a substrate region to be used as the panel structure and a peripheral region to be separated from the substrate region on each of a pair of pre-substrates, bonding the pair of pre-substrates together to form a pre-panel structure, and dividing the pre-panel structure to form the panel structure, wherein a stacked structure including the spacer and a colored layer constituting the color filter or a protective film covering the color filter is disposed in the peripheral region of the pre-panel structure.
Abstract:
There is provided a liquid coating composition comprising a silicone resin and an acetal or hemi-acetal-containing solvent, which is excellent in storage stability and coating property, and useful for forming a silicon-containing coating film on the surface of a substrate useful for electronic devices, the silicon-containing coating film being satisfactorily used as interlayer insulating films, levelling films and protecting films for semiconductor devices.
Abstract:
When the remaining capacity of a battery on a hybrid vehicle is smaller than a threshold value or the battery is unable to output the amount of electric energy required to propel the hybrid vehicle with a propulsive electric motor, the engine is started by a generator which operates in a motor mode. After the engine has been warmed up, the generator operates in a generator mode to generate electric energy which is supplied to the battery and the propulsive electric motor. The threshold value for the remaining capacity of the battery is greater as the atmospheric pressure is lower. Therefore, if the hybrid vehicle is running under a low atmospheric pressure such as on a highland, the electric energy is supplied from the generator to the battery and the propulsive electric motor at an early stage where the capacity of the battery is relatively high. The generator also starts to generate electric energy when the battery is unable to output an amount of electric energy sufficient enough to propel the hybrid vehicle.
Abstract:
A light-polarizing film is disclosed, comprising a conductive polymer having dichroism and having an unsaturated cyclic structure in the main chain thereof. The light-polarizing film of the invention has good polarization quality and is excellent in durability under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions.
Abstract:
A color display device includes a display area where a non-rectangular display range is determined. Pixels of which a display color is set to a mixed color formed by adjusting brightness of sub-pixels having a plurality of different single-colors are arranged within the display area. In addition, parts of the pixels subjected to non-coloring drive and display are arranged so as to extend to the contour of the display area.
Abstract:
Under the same target voltage, a basic duty ratio depending on a target ON time is set, and prior and subsequent duty ratios before and after upper arm switching devices or lower arm switching devices are driven with the basic duty ratio are set as a basic duty ratio+α and a basic duty ratio−α, respectively. Gate drive signals, having the basic duty ratio and the prior and subsequent duty ratios, are supplied to the upper arm switching devices or to the lower arm switching devices, in order to turn on the upper arm switching devices or the lower arm switching devices.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal device is provided that comprises a plurality of R colored layers, a plurality of G colored layers, and a plurality of B colored layers that are formed on either one of a pair of substrates and are aligned in a predetermined arrangement in plan view, a light-shielding layer formed between the colored layers, and a plurality of spacers formed on either one of the pair of substrates and protruding toward the other substrate. The plurality of spacers is formed around the B colored layers and/or the R colored layers, but is not formed around the G colored layers. Thus, even if a positional deviation occurs between the substrates, the spacers do not get into the G colored layers.
