An object of the present invention is to prevent degradation of image contrast arising from deformation of a liquid crystal display panel caused by deformation of the upper surface of the middle frame on which the liquid crystal display panel is mounted.

A liquid crystal display panel is disposed on the upper surface of a middle frame with cushion tape. The middle frame has its upper surface folded back to form a double-layer structure to enhance the strength. Its side surfaces are of a single-layer structure. As the upper surface of the middle frame is planarized and its strength is enhanced, deformation of the liquid crystal display panel can be prevented. This in turn prevents occurrence of optical leakage during black display, thereby preventing the contrast from being degraded.

A lens module including a base, a sleeve, a lens, a magnetic permeable column, a coil supporter, a coil, and a magnet set is provided. A bottom of the base has a plurality of bumps. The sleeve is rotatably disposed on the bumps. The lens is disposed in the sleeve, and the magnetic permeable column is disposed beside the sleeve. The coil is disposed between two holes of the coil supporter. The magnetic permeable column is disposed through the holes and the coil. The magnet set is disposed beside the coil. The sleeve has a plurality of step portions and each bump contacts the corresponding step portion. When a current is provided to the coil, the electromagnetic force produced between the coil and the magnet set moves the coil along the magnetic permeable column, to push the coil supporter and accordingly rotate the sleeve coupled with the coil supporter.

A light-emitting form comprises an elongated light guide illuminated by a light source (10a) such as an LED that sheds light into the end of the light guide. The light guide comprises a tubular light-transmitting container (30) consisting essentially of a substantially amorphous polymer, and an elongated light-transmitting core (20), which may be liquid, with an index of refraction lower than the index of refraction of the container. The light guide exhibits an aura, wherein the outside surface of the container (30) illuminates its surroundings and appears to glow, rather like neon lighting tubes.

The invention provides a spring body for a slide fastener and a slider having the spring body mounted thereon, comprising: the spring body made of a platy material having an opening window portion at the opposite side of a pawl portion, and entirely formed in a lateral C-shape; a spring piece having a figuration that a longitudinal center portion of the platy material is cut out outward from a side end portion of a main body of the opening window portion to be pulled up at a required height in many steps, disposed between a rear surface of a pull holding body and a pull with elastic contact, and the pawl portion engaged with or released from a portion of a coupling element row by operating the pull through an inside of the slider body. Consequently, it can get the spring body enabling a material and manufacturing cost reduced, a stable and excellent productivity; a slider with an automatic stop function acquiring and realizing inexpensive structure, miniaturization, and simple assembly.

A phase comparator (106) compares a phase of the output signal of the quadrature modulator (104) with the phase of the signal obtained by frequency-converting the output signal of a first VCO (101) via the second VCO (102) and the first mixer (108). A PLL modulator includes a low-pass filter (107) filters a component below a predetermined frequency of the output signal of the phase comparator (106) and supplying the resulting signal to the frequency control terminal of the first VCO (101). The output signal (TS1) of the first VCO (101) is a modulated signal conforming to a modulation system having a constant envelope waveform, while the output signal of the quadrature modulator (104) is input to the first band-pass filter (110) and the output signal (TS2) of the first band-pass filter is a modulated signal conforming to a modulation system accompanied by an amplitude component as information.

In a mold for use in the production of a silica crucible, a cylindrical rim member is engagedly supported through hooks to an inner side of an upper opening portion of the mold corresponding to an upper part of a silica crucible and an outer diameter of the rim member is smaller than an inner diameter of the mold but larger than an inner diameter of the silica crucible.

A sliding lens cap apparatus with close-up and start-up functions is disclosed. The apparatus is equipped in a camera and the camera includes a lens and a lens cap. The lens includes a lens pull rod for adjusting the focal length. The apparatus comprises an orientation rod, a fixed rod and a sliding rod. The orientation rod and fixed rod are coupled fixedly to the camera and form a track for the lens to move along. The orientation rod comprises a close orientation indent, an open orientation indent, and a close-up orientation indent. The sliding rod is movably coupled to the fixed rod and comprises a lens frame coupled to the lens pull rod. When the lens cap moves between the open orientation indent and the close-up orientation indent, the lens cap promotes the sliding rod to shift. By means of the movement of the lens cap, the camera can switch among the close mode, open mode, or close-up mode. The apparatus of the invention can provide easy usage and achieve the design of saving inner camera space and material cost.
