A laminate is directly transferred from a first robot arm that carries the laminate from a bonding chamber to an overlapping chamber, to a second robot arm that carries out the laminate from the overlapping chamber to the outside.

Carrying method and bonding apparatus

A bonding method including an adhesive layer forming process in which a thermoplastic adhesive is applied to a substrate or a support plate and an adhesive layer is formed; a heating process in which the adhesive layer that is formed on the substrate or the support plate is heated; and a bonding process in which the substrate and the support plate are pressed against each other via the heated adhesive layer, thereby bonding the substrate and the support plate.

Bonding method and bonding apparatus

A bonding method which includes a pressing step of bonding a substrate and a support plate for supporting the substrate to each other through an adhesive layer and pressing the bonded substrate and support plate using a plate member; and, after the pressing step, a pressure adjusting step of placing the substrate and the support plate bonded to each other through the adhesive layer in an environment having higher pressure than pressure of an environment in which the pressing step is performed.

Bonding method

An attaching apparatus, a substrate and a support that can be uniformly attached through an adhesive layer. The attaching apparatus is equipped with a set plate and a press plate formed of ceramics. The set plate and the press plate have a flatness of 1.0 &#x3bc;m or less when not pressed.

Attaching apparatus

An attachment method including an overlapping step of overlapping a support plate over a substrate under a reduced pressure environment; a temporary fixing step of temporarily fixing the support plate to the substrate; and an attaching step of attaching the support plate to the substrate under a reduced pressure environment. The method further includes, prior to the overlapping step, at least one of a first heating step in which heating is performed under an atmospheric pressure environment and a second heating step in which heating is performed under a reduced pressure environment.

Attachment method

An attaching device configured to attach a substrate and a support via an adhesive layer is provided with support holding members. Holding tools of the support holding members are configured to hold the support with oblique surface parts (contact members) of the holding tools without coming into contact with a surface of the support, which is to be attached to the substrate. The attaching device attaches, to the substrate, the support of which the surface is held not to be contacted.

Attaching device and attaching method

A sticking apparatus including a pair of plate members sandwiching a laminate between the pair of plate members, and supporting members supporting the plate members. The supporting members supporting at least one of the plate members are located in a form of multiple dots or lines adjacent to each other at regular intervals on the plate member.

Sticking apparatus and sticking method

A displaying unit displaying an image, a recognizing unit recognizing use history of the displaying unit, and a decision unit deciding a permissible viewing time of the image for a user, based on the use history are provided, and the display of the image by the displaying unit is stopped according to the permissible viewing time. Alternatively, the user is encouraged to finish watching the image according to the permissible viewing time. In a head mount display including a displaying unit and mountable on the head of a user, it is possible to realize a fatigue countermeasure appropriate for a user.

Head mount display

A headphone includes a pad which is brought into contact with a human head, an enclosure which outputs an audio, and a dome as means for adjusting quality of the audio output by resonating or absorbing the sound wave emitted from the enclosure. The dome has no parts other than those used for absorbing and reflecting audio and is almost hollow. In the dome is arranged a circuit substrate by using a circuit support part having a shape not blocking the air flowing in the dome. Such a circuit substrate is also built in the other headphone. The circuit substrates arranged in the dome of the headphone are connected by a cable arranged inside a head band or an FPC for transmission of a signal and power supply. Thus, it is possible to provide an output device which can solve the problem of the dimensions for containing operation processing devices and the problem of heat dissipation.

Output device and wearable display

An object is to provide a content reproduction system in which matching of a content reproduction apparatus and a device is performed flexibly and efficiently. For this purpose, the content reproduction system includes a content reproduction apparatus which reproduces a content including at least one of audio and an image, and a device connected to the content reproduction apparatus, in which the content reproduction apparatus is provided with acknowledging unit which acknowledges a driving condition of the device and a controlling unit which operates according to the acknowledged driving condition.

Portable media player system

The head mounted display of the present invention has a display part for displaying images to the wearer, a supporting part which supports the display part, which is fed out into a position in front of as eye from a position that is not located in front of the face, and which is moved from this position in front of as eye into this position that is not located in front of the face, and a mounting part which holds this supporting part, and which is mounted on the wearer in a position that is not located in front of the face, and is constructed so that the supporting part can move past the side of the head along the contour of the head. As a result, a display device is produced which is relatively free of unsightliness with respect to the wearer.

A headphone () has LEDs indicating whether a head-mounted display is used for the left eye or for the right eye. In the case shown in the attached figure, the LED of L showing that the display is used for the left eye is lit. Whether the head-mounted display is used for the left eye or for the right eye is indicated by the LEDs, and depending on whether it is used for the left eye or for the right eye, audio outputted from the headphone () is switched over between the left and the right. Independent of whether the head-mounted display is used for the left eye or for the right eye, audio for the right ear is outputted for the right ear and audio for the left ear is outputted for the left ear.

Head-mounted display

Inclination of an image display unit is prevented at the time of using a wearable display unit in which the image display unit can move between a projection position where the image display unit comes in front of a user's eye and a retracted position where the image display unit has been retracted from the front of the user's eye. A display support memberis prevented from rotating in relation to a display support member housing partin a direction included in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the display support member, even in a state that the display support member can move. To that end, groovesextending in the longitudinal direction are formed in the display support member, while guide rollersin contact with these grooves are provided within the display support member housing part

Wearable display unit, headphones and system provided with these

Video display apparatus, remote controller for reproduction apparatus, and reproduction apparatus meeting user's usage conditions with high operability have structure including: remote controller for video display apparatus, the remote controller having connection section connected to video display section, operation members receiving operations by user to the video display section, and control section having at least two action modes for operating the video display section responding to operations to the operation members; attachment member attaching the remote controller for video display apparatus to user's clothes etc.; and determination section determining whether the remote controller for video display apparatus is attached to the clothes by the attachment member, wherein the control section selects action mode according to result of the determination to operate video display section through the connection section based on the selected action mode and making video display section display images of the operation members corresponding to selected action mode.
