20100195037LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A liquid crystal display device comprises an array substrate having first and second pixel electrodes arranged adjacent each other and a counter substrate having a counter electrode opposing to the first and second pixel electrodes. First and second slits are formed on the counter electrode opposing to the first and second pixel electrode so as to cross the first and second pixel electrode, respectively. The counter electrode is separated into a first counter electrode portion and a second counter electrode portion by the first and second slits. A connecting counter electrode portion is arranged between the first and second slits to connect the first and second counter electrode portions. A columnar spacer is arranged between the first and second slits opposing to the connecting counter electrode portion to form a cell gap between the array substrate and the counter substrate.08-05-2010

20080291382LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - Structural objects are disposed in a peripheral region in positions opposed to spacers. In this way, a substrate surface of a counter substrate in the peripheral region is gently inclined in a direction away from a liquid crystal layer. In this way, it is possible to prevent unevenness in display attributable to a difference in a cell gap between a display region and the peripheral region.11-27-2008
20080309838LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - The present invention regarding a liquid crystal display device aims to further prevent generation of low-temperature bubbles in a uniform cell gap and to further improve strength against pressure applied to a glass surface while saving a production cost. A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes multiple spacers arranged on a liquid crystal layer side of an array substrate. The multiple spacers include: a first spacer arranged in a part of an insulating layer having no contact hole formed thereon; and a second spacer arranged inside of the contact hole. The contact hole is provided on the insulating layer and connects a switching element to either a corresponding pixel electrode or a corresponding auxiliary capacitive layer.12-18-2008
20090073371Liquid Crystal Display Device - On an opposite substrate, such a protrusion that is not contact with an array substrate is disposed. Alternatively, on the array substrate, such a protrusion that is not contact with the opposite substrate is formed of the same material as a spacer. Still alternatively, a large wall-like spacer is disposed on the array substrate. This reduces an amount of liquid crystal sandwiched by the substrates, and thus suppresses generation of low-temperature bubbles in the liquid crystal.03-19-2009

20110291973ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING TOUCH PANEL AND OPERATING CONTROL METHOD - An electronic device includes a touch panel, a position detecting portion, an operating control portion and a detection sensitivity control portion. The position detecting portion detects a close coordinate when sensing that a pointing means comes close to a position on a close plane away from the touch panel by a first distance, and detects a contact coordinate when sensing that the pointing means comes close to a position on a contact plane lying closer to the touch panel than the position on the close plane. The operating control portion controls an operation of a controlled unit based on the close coordinate and the contact coordinate. The detection sensitivity control portion switches detection sensitivity of the position detecting portion from close detection sensitivity to contact detection sensitivity when the position detecting portion senses that the pointing means comes close to the position on the close plane.12-01-2011
