A rod lens arrayincludes a plurality of gradient-index rod lensesarrayed to have optical axes parallel to each other, and forms an erecting equal-magnification image. The gradient-index rod lenseseach have a refractive-index distribution in a radial direction thereof. The refractive-index distribution n(r) is approximated by n(r)=n·{1−(A/2)·r}, where a refractive index at a center of the gradient-index rod lensis represented by n, a refractive-index distribution constant of the gradient-index rod lensis represented by √A, and a distance from the center of the gradient-index rod lensis represented by r. The gradient-index rod lenshas an aperture angle θ of 3 to 6°, the aperture angle θ represented by θ=sin(n√A·r), where a radius of the gradient-index rod lens is represented by r. The rod lens arrayhas an imaging distance of 45 to 75 mm and a depth of field of 1.5 to 3.0 mm with value of modulation transfer function (MTF) of 30% or more at a spatial frequency of 6 lp/mm.

Tape cassette () of the present disclosure configured to house roll body (RT) of a carrier tape includes housing () and shutter (). Housing () includes housing space (S) for housing roll body (RT) and front opening (K) through which roll body (RT) is allowed to be taken in and out in a front part of housing (). Shutter () can be displaced between a closing position at which movement of roll body (RT) to an outside of housing () through front opening (K) is restricted by blocking at least a part of front opening (K) and an open position at which the movement of roll body (RT) to the outside of housing () through front opening (K) is allowed. Housing () is equipped on a component mounting device with front opening (K) facing the component mounting device, and supplies roll body (RT) to the component mounting device with shutter () positioned at the open position.

A touch panel member includes a first transparent resin layer, a first electrode substrate, a second transparent resin layer, and a second electrode substrate, which are disposed in this order. The first electrode substrate includes a first substrate and a first conductive pattern group. The second electrode substrate includes a second substrate and a second conductive pattern group. When a reference conductor is brought into contact with a touch panel cover while the touch panel cover is disposed on the first transparent resin layer at a side opposite to the first electrode substrate, the second conductive pattern group is configured to cause a second electrostatic capacity between the reference conductor and the second conductive pattern group range from 80% to 120%, inclusive, of a first electrostatic capacity between the reference conductor and the first conductive pattern group.

An object of the present invention is to provide a printed wiring board which does not require arranging signal lines oblique to the warp or weft threads constituting a substrate and is capable of reducing a difference in transmission rates between the signal lines. The present invention relates to a printed wiring board including: an insulating layer; and a signal layer including a set of at least two signal lines and disposed on one side of the insulating layer. A substrate is embedded inside the insulating layer in such a manner to be further from the signal layer than a center of the insulating layer in a thickness direction of the insulating layer is. The insulating layer has a laminated structure of a thick layer, the substrate, and a thin layer. A ratio of a thickness of the thick layer to a thickness of the thin layer is greater than five.

A glass panel comprising a pair of glass sheets () disposed with respective faces thereof confronting each other in face-to-face relationship with a gap (V) therebetween and with peripheral edges of the glass sheets () being bonded with a bonding sealant () to be sealed thereby; an evacuating port () for evacuating gas present within said gap (V) to the outside; and a getter () for coming into contact with the gas within said gap (V), wherein said evacuating port () includes a getter-retaining space () for retaining said getter () therein, said port () being formed in one () of said pair of glass sheets (), said getter () being retained within said getter-retaining space (), said evacuating port () being closed and sealed by means of a lid (). After the peripheral edges of the glass sheets () are bonded and sealed by a bonding sealant (), the gas present within said gap (V) is drawn and evacuated through said evacuating port () with said getter () being retained within said getter-retaining space (), then, said evacuating port () is closed and sealed by bonding a lid () to said one glass sheet ().

Glass panel and method of manufacturing the glass panel

A glass panel comprising a pair of glass plates opposed to each other with a void defined therebetween, a joining seal member for joining and sealing the glass plates at peripheries thereof, a communicating bore formed in one of the glass plates for communicating with the void and a lid member adhered to the bored glass plate having the communicating bore by a thermally meltable seal member to seal the communicating bore. The lid member is made of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than a thermal expansion coefficient of the bored glass plate. The glass panel is capable of restraining cracks and breaks from generating in the bored glass plate when the lid member is adhered to the bored glass plate by the thermally meltable seal member.
