Abstract:
The invention provides a surface illuminator capable of achieving high display quality by employing an array of discrete light sources constituted by a plurality of LEDs and a liquid crystal display having the same. The surface illuminator includes an LED module which is a plurality of LEDs alternately and discretely provided along a light entrance surface and a color irregularity correcting resistor which is connected in parallel with a predetermined LED at an end of the LED module and which provides a bypass for a current supplied to the LED.
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus and an information storage server are connected with each other through a network. A storage part of the substrate processing apparatus stores set information and a control program, for controlling operation of the substrate processing apparatus according to the set information and the control program. The substrate processing apparatus is provided with a schedule function, for transmitting a backup instructional command according to the schedule. In response to this instructional command, the substrate processing apparatus generates a duplicate of specified information stored in the aforementioned storage part and transfers the duplicate information to the information storage server through the network. The information storage server stores the received duplicate information in a hard disk as backup data. The information storage server can also store only differential data of the duplicate information. Thus, information for controlling the operation of the substrate processing apparatus can be efficiently backed up without burdening the user.
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus comprises an indexer block, an anti-reflection film processing block, a resist film processing block, a development processing block, a resist cover film processing block, a resist cover film removal block, a cleaning/drying processing block, and an interface block. An exposure device is arranged adjacent to the interface block in the substrate processing apparatus. The exposure device subjects a substrate to exposure processing by means of an immersion method. In the edge cleaning unit in the cleaning/drying processing block, a brush abuts against an end of the rotating substrate, so that the edge of the substrate before the exposure processing is cleaned. At this time, the position where the substrate is cleaned is corrected.
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a gradation voltage correction system is provided in a liquid crystal display device that is configured to be capable of displaying a color image, and corrects gradation voltages to be supplied to a plurality of pixels. The gradation voltage correction system includes a color sensor (chromaticity change acquiring portion) for acquiring a change in chromaticity of illumination light from light-emitting diodes and a correction determining portion for determining correction values for each color of the red, green, and blue pixels based on the detection (acquisition) results of the color sensor.
Abstract:
Electrode terminals (33a, 33b) of an LED (3) and a mounting wiring (42) of an FPC (4) are bonded by using a conductive adhesive, and a metal slug (31) of the LED (3) and a heat dissipation wiring (43) of the FPC (4) are bonded by using the conductive adhesive. The heat dissipation wiring (43) corresponds to each of the LEDs (3) and isolates the LEDs one from the other, not to permitting electricity to be carried between them.

A light emitting device includes a bump-shaped slug having a support plane at the top of the bump-shaped slug. The slug includes side planes arranged to function as optical action planes arranged to receive and reflect a portion of the light from the light emitting chip.
Abstract:
A backlight device including a light guide plate having an upper surface configured to face a liquid crystal panel, a lower surface, and at least one side surface extending in a thickness direction between the upper surface and the lower surface. The backlight device also includes a plurality of LEDs for irradiating light beams to the side surface of the light guide plate, which side surface serves as a light incidence surface. The plurality of LEDs are arranged in a plurality of rows in the thickness direction of the same side surface of the light guide plate so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the light incidence surface. Additionally, of the plurality of LEDs, two LEDs that are electrically connected to each other in series are disposed in different rows.
Abstract:
A fluid supply pipe is inserted through a motor supporting member, a spin motor, a rotating shaft, and a plate supporting member. A first flange is integrally formed in the vicinity of a curved portion of a straight portion, extending in the vertical direction, of the fluid supply pipe. The first flange is fixed to a motor supporting member. Thus, the fluid supply pipe is fixed to the spin motor through the motor supporting member. The fluid supply pipe has a configuration in which a gas supply pipe made of resin and a plurality of cleaning liquid supply pipes made of resin are accommodated inside a guide pipe made of stainless. Inside the guide pipe, the one gas supply pipe is surrounded by the plurality of cleaning liquid supply pipes.
Abstract:
LEDs (43) are arranged in a line on a film (41) which is provided with a conductor (44). The conductor (44) connects the LEDs (43) to a connector (45). The film (41) is bent at a division line (41c) between a region (41a) wherein the LEDs (43) are arranged and a region (41b) wherein the conductor (44) is formed, and placed on the inner surface of a reflector. A reflective material (46) is arranged on a surface of the conductor region (41b) which faces to the LEDs (43).
Abstract:
A lighting unit including a light-reflecting reflector, a plurality of cold cathode tubes disposed inside the reflector and an optical waveguide connected with an open end of the reflector to guide the light emitted by the cold-cathode tubes. The reflector has a reflective surface that reflects the light having been emitted by the cold-cathode tubes in the direction nearly perpendicular to the wall of each tube, and only in a direction in which the light reflected does not re-enter the cold-cathode tubes. In another embodiment, the lighting unit may include a second optical waveguide disposed in the space between the cold-cathode tube and the reflector, wherein a space is formed between the cold-cathode tube and the second optical waveguide.
