The present invention relates to a vacuum container having a first substrate and a second substrate arranged so as to face each other as components including, within the low-pressure container, a spacer disposed at the first substrate or the second substrate so as to maintain an interval between the first substrate and the second substrate. The spacer is fixed within the vacuum container via a supporting member provided at the spacer without contacting the substrate where the spacer is disposed. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing vacuum container, an image display apparatus using the vacuum container, and a method for manufacturing the image display apparatus.

Vacuum container and method for manufacturing the same, and image display apparatus and method for manufacturing the same

A display apparatus and an assembly of a driving circuit for the display apparatus having a display device, a film carrier with a lead to transfer a signal for driving the display device, and a bus board to supply a signal to the lead. A dummy lead is provided along the outside of each of an input side outer lead and an output side outer lead of the film carrier. A predetermined voltage is applied to the dummy leads. The predetermined voltage value is set to a value so as not to stationarily cause a DC bias for the voltage of the outer lead on the outside.

Display apparatus and assembly of its driving circuit

By a method for manufacturing a flat image display device having a plate spacer, even if the center of the plate spacer is displaced from its initial assembly position, it can easily be corrected to the initial assembly position again, allowing stable production of high-quality image display devices. The present invention includes the process of forming a space between the plate spacer and a first substrate between the process of fixing the plate spacer to the first substrate and the process of tightly bonding the first substrate and a second substrate together.

Method for manufacturing image display device

An image display apparatus includes an air-tight container and components provided in the air-tight container. The components include an image display member, a spacer on a surface of which a first electrode is provided, a first electroconductive member which is electrically connected to the first electrode and fixed to the spacer, and a second electroconductive member which is fixed to the first electroconductive member by a weld joining and provided outside an image display area in the air-tight container. The second electroconductive member is defined with a predetermined potential.

Image display apparatus having a spacer with electroconductive members

An image display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a spacer provided therebetween and providing an atmospheric pressure resistant structure of a vacuum container formed between the first and second substrates. First and second support members are provided outside an image display area, with the first and second support members being joined together.

Image display apparatus having spacer with fixtures

An image display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a spacer provided therebetween and providing an atmospheric pressure resistant structure of a vacuum container formed between the first and second substrates. First and second support members are provided outside an image display area, with the first and second support members being joined together. An electrode is formed on either one of the first and second substrates, bearing the second support member, and is electrically joined to the second support member by a spring contact portion.

Distances between spacers and electron passing apertures in potential regulation plate are regulated. An electron beam apparatus includes a first substrate having a region from which electrons are emitted, a second substrate having a region which is irradiated by the emitted electrons, spacers located between the first substrate and the second substrate for forming an atmospheric pressure resistant structure, and at least one potential regulation plate having aperture portions, through which electrons emitted from the first substrate pass, between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the potential regulation plate has recessed portions, to which the spacers fitted on, on one principal surface of the potential regulation plate, and a part of the other principal surface of the potential regulation plate abuts on the first substrate and/or the second substrate in the state in which the spacers are fitted to the recessed portions.

Electron beam apparatus and image display apparatus using the electron beam apparatus

A multi-element module is constituted by a substrate having thereon a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of electrical elements each having at least one second electrode and disposed so that its second electrode is aligned with a first electrode in an opposed relationship, and an adhesive member disposed between the substrate and the plurality of electrical elements to ensure electrical connection between the first electrodes and the second electrodes. The adhesive member comprises an adhesive layer contacting and bonding the electrical elements to the substrate, and an anisotropic conductive layer comprising a resin and electroconductive particles dispersed in the resin. The anisotropic conductive film is disposed between the adhesive layer and the substrate so as to insulate adjacent electrodes from each other while electrically connects the first and second electrodes, even when the electrical elements having second electrodes different in thickness.

Multi-element module and production process thereof

An impact-resistant display apparatus is constituted by a display panel, a drive circuit for driving the display panel, a face plate disposed in front of the display panel, and a support member for supporting the display panel and the drive circuit. The display apparatus further includes a first elastic member between a rear side of the display panel and the support member, and a second elastic member between a front side of the display panel and the face plate. The first and second elastic members may preferably respectively define and almost closed space together with adjacent associate members so as to provide an air damper-effect.

Display apparatus with elastic members, display panel, panel-fixing

A display apparatus is constituted by a display panel having an electrode terminal, a flexible carrier carrying a drive element for driving the display panel together with an input terminal and an output terminal connected thereto, a circuit board for supplying signals to the drive element, and a support plate for supporting the display panel and the circuit board. The output terminal and the input terminal of the flexible carrier are connected to the electrode terminal of the display panel and the circuit board, respectively. The support plate is provided with a supporting member, for supporting the circuit board at a position which is farther from the display panel than a line dividing the circuit board into equal halves closer to and farther from the display panel. As a result, when the display apparatus is supplied with an impact in a direction perpendicular thereto, the circuit board is allowed to rotate so as to reduce a stress applied to the flexible carrier, thereby preventing the breakage or electrical connection failure thereof.
