An object of the present invention is to determine novel means of activating plants; more particularly, means of controlling plant growth, such as means of promoting growth, means of controlling dormancy, means of imparting tolerance against stress for plants (dryness, high or low temperatures, osmotic pressure, etc.), and means of preventing aging. The present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by providing plant activators containing, as an active ingredient, C-Cketol fatty acids, in particular, 9-hydroxy-10-oxo-12(Z),15(Z)-octadecadienoic acid.

Plant potentiators

ITO transparent electrodes having a low surface resistivity of 20-70 .OMEGA./.quadrature. are formed on a glass substrate. An additional ITO transparent electrode having a high surface resistivity of about 1 M.OMEGA./.quadrature. is formed so as to cover the low-resistivity transparent electrodes. Locally generated high-voltage static electricity is distributed in the high-resistivity transparent electrode, to prevent a spark between adjacent low-resistivity electrodes.

The structure and method for mounting a semiconductor device, in which a wiring pattern 2 on a circuit substrate 1 and projection electrodes 5 of an integrated circuit 4 are made to be in opposition to and connected to each other, the wiring pattern 2 is connected to the projection electrodes 5 while penetrated through an adhesive and thermosetting thin film member 3 covering the wiring pattern 2; and the integrated circuit 4 is held onto the circuit substrate 1 by a hardening force of the adhesive and thermosetting thin film member 3.

Structure and method for mounting semiconductor device

In order to electrically connect the projecting electrodes of an LSI with a given wiring pattern on a circuit substrate, at least a portion of the electronic part is covered with a heat-shrinkable film member which in turn is fixedly mounted on the circuit substrate by adhesive at the opposite side or all the sides of the heat-shrinkable film member. When the heat-shrinkable film member is heated, the shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film member presses the LSI against the circuit substrate under pressure. Thus, the bumps of the LSI can be electrically connected with the wiring pattern on the circuit substrate. Therefore, the LSI can be easily mounted on the circuit substrate or replaced by a new one.

Method of mounting electronic part on circuit substrate and circuit

A liquid crystal display includes a fixing frame having a display window, a liquid crystal panel device received in the frame in facing relation to the window, and a back lighter received in the frame and stacked to the panel device on the side thereof away from the window. The back lighter has a light guide having a marginal edge provided with a fluorescent lamp which is arranged outwardly of a corresponding marginal edge of the panel device and offset toward the panel device, so that the lamp does not project beyond the rear surface of the light guide.
