Abstract:
An active-matrix substrate has a layered structure in which an upper region including a plurality of pixel electrodes (10) arranged in a matrix and a lower region including a plurality of thin film transistors (3) for driving the individual pixel electrodes are overlapped on each other. A planarization layer (11) is interposed between both the substrates. An active-matrix liquid crystal display device includes a main substrate (2) and a facing substrate (12) which are disposed to face to each other with a specified interval. A liquid crystal layer (13) having a specified thickness is held between both the substrates. A device bus line area including a plurality of thin film transistor devices and bus lines (7) is formed on the surface of the main substrate. A planarization layer (11) is formed to embed the irregularities on the surface of the device bus line area. Pixel electrodes in a matrix are formed on the flat surface of the planarization layer. An interval dimension between the adjacent pixel electrodes is set to be larger than a thickness dimension B of the liquid crystal layer, so that the subsidiary lateral electric field is made smaller than the normal vertical electric field.
Abstract:
To readily realize a reduction in pel pitch and an increase in the number of pels, a V shift register is configured such that one pulse transfer stage is provided so as to correspond to two horizontal pel lines constituting a pel section of a liquid crystal panel. Further, a decoder decodes a signal output from each pulse transfer stage of the V shift register, thereby preparing a gate pulse for individually driving the pel line. The number of pulse transfer stages is made half that of a conventional pel drive circuit.

Abstract:
An electrolyte with high ion conductivity, a process for producing the same and a battery using the same, and a compound for the electrolyte. The electrolyte is set between a negative electrode and a positive electrode. The electrolyte includes a first polymer compound, a second polymer compound and light metal salt. The first polymer compound has a three-dimensional network structure formed by bridging bridgeable compounds with the bridge groups, which contributes to the high mechanical intensity of the electrolyte. The second polymer compound has no bridge groups and dissolves light metal salt. Each of the first and the second polymer compounds has an ether bond. The first and the second polymer compounds form a semi-interpenetrating polymer network, and achieve higher ion conductivity than that of each polymer compound.
Abstract:
A matrix-addressed type liquid crystal display apparatus having switching devices such as TFTs is provided, featuring that an increased effective voltage can be applied without causing hysteresis in V-T characteristics. Namely, by substantially increasing a value of an applicable voltage in excess of which a display defect starts to appear, a high numerical aperture and a high contrast ratio have been achieved at the same time. In the LCD apparatus of the present invention, a gap between adjacent reverse tilt domains each formed in a portion of a pixel which is arranged corresponding to an arbitrary pixel electrode becomes broader than a minimum gap between adjacent pixel electrodes corresponding thereto, or a thickness of a liquid crystal cell in the portion between adjacent reverse tilt domains is set thinner than a thickness of a liquid crystal cell in the portion of the pixel.
Abstract:
An electrochemical cell is provided, including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte therebetween. The anode contains magnesium in a reduced state, and the cathode includes a rutile structure. The rutile structure is capable of intercalating magnesium ions received from the anode to produce a low voltage. The electrochemical cell is rechargeable. Additionally, the electrochemical cell is cheaper, more environmentally friendly and has a higher volume density than related art electrochemical cells. A method of manufacture is also provided.

Abstract:
A gel electrolyte secondary cell in which discharge capacity loss can be suppressed even with the use of a graphitized carbonaceous material of a small particle size as a negative electrode material to assure low impedance, superior cell voltage and load characteristics and high charging/discharging efficiency. To this end, a graphitized carbonaceous material prepared by firing meso-carbon micro-beads is used as a material for a negative electrode 9.
