A color filter of a liquid crystal display includes a substrate, a first black matrix resin film, a second black matrix resin film and a light shield layer. The substrate has a border region surrounding an array region thereof. The first and second black matrix resin films are disposed in the border region and the array area respectively. Color photoresist patterns are formed within the array region. Every two adjacent color photoresist patterns partially overlap each other to completely cover t...

An active matrix liquid crystal display device which has color filters disposed on a TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) substrate, and which reduces the effect of light leakage regions over data lines for an increased viewing angle. The liquid crystal display device has the data lines disposed on the TFT substrate at respective gaps between adjacent two of pixel electrodes, for supplying data signals to TFTs to drive pixel electrodes, and a black matrix disposed on the TFT substrate in association with ...

A seal clamp assembly for sealing an opening in a piping system includes, in an exemplary embodiment, a base having a first side, a second side and an aperture extending therethrough from the first side to the second side, and a brace coupled to the base. The brace includes a distal pad hingedly coupled to a distal end portion of the brace. The seal clamp assembly also includes a spring bridge coupled to the base first side. The bridge includes a substantially rectangular U-shaped frame and an a...

A tensioner for traction means such as a belt, includes a housing which accommodates a cylinder for guiding a hydraulically dampened, spring-loaded plunger in an axial direction for tensioning the traction means. The interior space of the housing is closed by a cover which has a guide opening for passage of the plunger. A seal is placed outside the cover to seal an annular opening bounded by the housing and the plunger. In order to prevent a gas cushion under pressure and trapped between the cov...

A cover for standpipes comprising a tube of brightly colored sheet plastic having one open end and another open end turned back to form an encircling sleeve with notches cut at opposite ends of the encircling sleeve and oppositely directed draw strings, each extending from a notch, through the encircling sleeve to exit at the opposite notch.

A hydraulic tensioner includes a cylindrical center member or mass to counteract the resonance of the piston. The center member is located between a pair of piston springs inside the fluid chamber. The mass of the center member is selected, along with the spring rates of the piston springs, so that the resonant frequency of the center member matches the resonant frequency of the piston and timing drive. Since the center member moves in the opposite direction from the piston, the center member co...

An electrophotographic toner composition which can fix an electrostatic latent image without causing offset in the presence of a small amount of a fuser oil or in the absence of fuser oil in the heat roll fixing process. In a first embodiment, the electrophotographic toner composition comprises a binder resin, a coloring agent, a silicone oil and a silicone-modified resin. In a second embodiment, the electrophotographic toner composition is a capsule toner composition which comprises (a) a core ...

A toner for developing an electrostatic image has toner particles containing a binder resin and a colorant. The toner particle has at least a core composed of a low-temperature softening substance, an inner layer enclosing the core, and an outer layer enclosing the core and the inner layer. The core, the inner layer, and the outer layer are constituted respectively of a material which is discriminable by staining with triruthenium tetroxide and triosmium tetroxide.

The characteristics of the auto-tensioner of the present invention resides in a second reservoir chamber 24 which resides within a plunger 11 extending toward inside of a spring 15. Accordingly, without changing the whole length of a cylinder 10, sufficient amount of operating oil can be reserved and the smooth flow of operating oil into a pressure chamber 23 from the second reservoir 24 chamber can be conducted.

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a first glass substrate with signal electrodes arranged in a striped pattern, a second glass substrate with scanning electrodes arranged in a striped pattern, and a ferroelectric liquid crystal between the first and second glass substrates, the first and second glass substrates facing each other and being fastened so that the signal and scanning electrodes cross each other at right angles. Light blocking members functioning as a black matrix are formed...
