    摘要: A light control sheet includes a first transparent electrode layer, a second transparent electrode layer, and a light control layer including a liquid crystal composition having positive dielectric anisotropy and including chiral nematic liquid crystals. A control unit of a light control device controls voltage applied between the transparent electrode layers to a first voltage to bring the light control sheet into a first state of reflecting infrared light and transmitting visible light, controls the voltage applied between the transparent electrode layers to a second voltage to bring the light control sheet into a second state of scattering infrared light and visible light, and controls the voltage applied between the transparent electrode layers to a third voltage to bring the light control sheet into a third state of transmitting infrared light and visible light.

    摘要: A pouch with a pair of stacked sheet parts and a pair of side seal parts at both edges extending in a first direction of the pair of sheet parts and sealed to form an accommodation space. At least one side seal part has a first seal part positioned close to a top part, a second seal part positioned close to a bottom part and separated from the first seal part, and a steam releasing seal part connecting the first and the second seal parts. The steam releasing seal part exhibits a triangular shape having a peak part on an accommodation space side and is symmetrical to a first virtual line passing through the peak part and orthogonal to the first direction. A region surrounded by the steam releasing seal part is a non-sealed region, and the non-sealed region of at least one sheet part has a penetration part.

    摘要: A wiring board unit capable of reducing the stress inside the wiring board to reduce the risk of a crack being formed from a location where stress is concentrated. To achieve this, the present invention includes a first wiring board and a second wiring board bonded to the first wiring board. A semiconductor element being resin-sealed on a surface side of the second wiring board opposite to a surface for bonding with the first wiring board. A tensile strength of an insulating resin material used for the second wiring board and a width of a Cu pattern formed on the side opposite to the first wiring board give a value smaller than 0.5 when substituted in Formula 1 below.

    摘要: A range imaging device includes a light source unit that emits light pulses; a light-receiving unit including at least one pixel circuit and a pixel drive circuit, the pixel circuit or circuits including a photoelectric conversion element that generates charge according to incident light, and charge integration units, the pixel drive circuit distributing the charge generated in the photoelectric conversion element to the integration units via transfer transistors at a timing synchronized with the pulses; and a distance calculation unit that calculates a distance between an object and the light-receiving unit, based on a charge ratio of charge generated in the photoelectric conversion element due to reflected light and distributed to the integration units via the transistors for integration. The pulses have a width set to be larger than a period between a rise of a transfer transistor and a rise of the subsequently rising transfer transistor among the transistors.
