A touch panel-including illuminator having: a light pipe made of a transparent plate-like material having an upper surface, a lower surface and at least one incidence side surface, the upper surface being provided with light output means through which light incident on the incidence side surface is made to emerge from the lower surface; a light source disposed on the incidence side surface of the light pipe; an adhesive layer; and a touch panel bonded to the upper surface of the light pipe through the adhesive layer; wherein the light output means are constituted by fine grooves which are disposed discontinuously, each of which is made of a concave portion, and each of which is shaped like an approximate triangle in section; and wherein each of the fine grooves has an optical path changing slope and a steep slope.

Touch panel-including illuminator and reflective liquid-crystal display device

A lightweight, touch-input-type reflective liquid-crystal display panel having a reflective liquid-crystal display panel. The reflective liquid-crystal display panel being formed in a manner such that external light incident on an outer surface is reflected by the light-reflecting layer so that display light transmitted through the liquid-crystal layer is made to emerge from the visual side cell substrate and viewed.

Reflective liquid-crystal display device

A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is described, which comprises a polyester having an improved molecular structure and can find wide applications, which polyester has both a good mechanical strength and a good flexibility, is obtained from starting material components essentially comprising an aliphatic diol having a carbonate structure in the main chain thereof, and at least one of a polyhydric alcohol having three or more hydroxyl groups and a polycarboxylic acid having three or more carboxyl groups, and has a number average molecular weight of 5,000 or more and a degree of dispersion of 2.2 or more.
