In a permanent magnet rotor, a power transmitting shaft is connected to an axial end of a solid cylindrical permanent magnet, and a reinforcement sleeve is fitted on the outer circumferential surface of the permanent magnet. Thus, the shaft is not required to be passed through the permanent magnet as was the case with the conventional permanent magnet rotor for the purpose of transmitting the rotational torque and increasing the overall rigidity, and the increase in the axial dimension of the rotor due to the reduction in the cross sectional area of the permanent magnet can be avoided. Also, because the sleeve surrounds the permanent magnet, the resistance to centrifugal stress resulting from a high speed rotation and repeated bending stress owing to vibrations can be improved.

The present invention prevents, when a COF which is connected with an external circuit is bent in a flat display device, the disconnection of lines on the COF. At a position where a line of the COF is connected to terminal portions of a TFT, and the line having a large width is branched into lines having a small width T 1 to T 3 or T 4 to T 6. By displacing line branching positions from each other as indicated by an arrow A and an arrow B, when the COF is bent or deformed, stress applied to the line branching positions can be dispersed thus preventing the disconnection of lines.

The present invention realizes the miniaturization of an ink jet recording apparatus by improving the tube arrangement (pull-around) structure. A flow passage of ink supplied from an ink cartridge is turned by approximately 90° using an elbow member, and ink tubes which are connected to the elbow member are arranged (pulled around) to extend toward an image recording part through gaps defined between a plurality of atmospheric-pressure introducing sleeves along an outer wall of the cartridge casing. Due to such an arrangement, compared to a case in which the ink flow passage is turned by approximately 90° using the flexibility of the ink tubes, it is possible to turn the ink tubes with a remarkably large radius of curvature and, at the same time, it is possible to decrease a size of a gap defined between the outer wall of the cartridge casing and other equipment such as a waste ink box. Accordingly, the present invention can realize the further miniaturization of a multi-functional device.
