20120075564LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - In a liquid crystal display device of IPS mode with a smaller number of layers, a gate electrode is formed on a TFT substrate. A gate insulating film is formed to cover the gate electrode, on which a semiconductor layer is formed. A drain electrode and a source electrode are placed on the semiconductor layer. A planar pixel electrode is formed from ITO on the gate insulating film prior to the formation of the drain electrode, source electrode, image signal line, and the like. This process is performed to prevent the image signal line, the drain electrode, the source electrode, and the like, from being consumed by the cell reaction through a developer during the patterning of the ITO when a pin hole is present in the ITO, in order not to cause disconnection. As a result, it is possible to improve the production yield and achieve high reliability.03-29-2012

20100100303Fuel Injection Control Device For Diesel Engine - A fuel injection control device for a diesel engine controls the first fuel injection timing so as to reduce the amount of white smokes generated in large amounts immediately after starting an engine. The fuel injection control device for the diesel engine comprised a high-pressure pump, a common rail for accumulating a highly-pressured fuel, injectors for injecting the fuel into a combustion chamber and a control means. Due to the fuel injection control device for the diesel engine, the fuel injection is performed after the cranking, without injecting the fuel for a certain period of time after an engine staring switch is turned on, in order that the pressure in the common rail becomes a setting value.04-22-2010
