A drum-type washing machine, having a plurality of lifts installed on an inner circumferential surface of a drum, enables improved washing performance by providing friction plates on the inclined sides of each lift to increase a frictional force between the lift and laundry. Each lift includes a pair of inclined sides, disposed in opposition to each other to form a shape having a regular trapezoidal cross-section, for lifting laundry; and a pair of friction plates, consisting of a pair of opposi...

A method of producing an electron-emitting device includes the steps of forming a pair of electrodes and an electrically-conductive thin film on a substrate in such a manner that the pair of electrodes are in contact with the electrically-conductive thin film and forming an electron emission region using the electrically-conductive thin film, wherein the method is characterized in that a solution containing a metal element is supplied in a droplet form onto the substrate thereby forming the elec...

A drum-shaped container (10; 11) for a laundry washing or drying machine comprises a cylindrical sheet metal envelope (12; 14) and gables (13; 15) also made from sheet metal and fastened to said cylindrical envelope, at least one of said gables being provided with a centrally disposed rotative shaft (16) for the container (10; 11) or with a support (17) for such rotative shaft (16). The sheet metal gable (13; 15) provided with the rotative shaft (16) or the shaft support (17) has a conical shape...

The object of the present invention is to provide a phosphor ink applying device that can apply phosphor ink in a plurality of lines to an intricately-shaped surface of a back panel of a PDP while preventing phosphor colors mixing. A valve is provided for the aperture of each nozzle of the phosphor ink applying device and the opening and closing of each valve is controlled according to the shape of the portion of the surface to which ink is to be applied. In this way, mixing of colors can be pre...

A method for manufacturing a light-emitting panel sandwiches a plurality of micro-components between two flexible substrates in a web configuration. Each micro-component contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. The micro-components are disposed in sockets formed at pre-determined locations in a first dielectric substrate so that they are adjacent to electrodes imprinted in the first s...

The present invention relates to a plasma display panel comprising transparent electrodes and a dielectric layer covering said transparent electrodes on at least one substrate of a pair of substrates facing each other with a discharge space therebetween, the main constituent of the transparent electrodes is included in the dielectric layer. Further, the main constituent of the transparent electrode is indium oxide and indium oxide is included in the dielectric layer. By including the main consti...

A method for fabricating an electron-emissive film (100) includes the steps of providing a powder (124), which has a plurality of carbon nanotubes (104); providing a substrate (102), a surface (103) of which defines a plurality of interstices (107); and dry spraying powder (124) onto surface (103) of substrate (102). The adjustable parameters of the dry spraying step include a separation distance of a spray nozzle (120) from surface (103), a spray angle between a spray (121) and surface (103), a...
