Various methods of manufacturing a lighting apparatus and embodiments of a modular networked lighting apparatus are disclosed. One method defines a mechanical form factor with a minimum set of electrical connections for a networking module, builds a subassembly of the networked lighting apparatus, the subassembly comprising attachment points compatible with the mechanical form factor for the networking module and contacts for the minimum set of electrical connections for the networking module, installs a networking module into the subassembly of the networked lighting apparatus, the networking module compatible with a selected networking protocol for the networked lighting apparatus, completes the final assembly of the networked lighting module, and marks the networked lighting apparatus to indicate the selected networking protocol for the networked lighting apparatus. In some embodiments, the lighting apparatus may function without the networking module installed. One embodiment of the modular, networked light bulb has means for supporting and holding an electronics module conforming with a predetermined form factor in place, and means for allowing the electronics module to control at least a brightness level of the at least one LED. The modular networked light bulb may have a networked controller conforming with the predetermined form factor used as the electronics module. The networked controller is able to connect to a network and may be positioned and held by the means for supporting and holding an electronics module.

An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components sandwiched between two substrates is disclosed. Each micro-component contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. An improved method of manufacturing a light-emitting panel is also disclosed, which uses a web fabrication process to manufacturing light-emitting displays as part of a high-speed, continuous inline process.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To position a substrate to be processed efficiently by saving space. ŽSOLUTION: After having transferred a substrate G to a lift pin 132, each rotation driving portion 152 rotates each eccentric movable alignment pin 150 to nearly half rotating location from an original location through a rotation driving shaft 154. Then, the alignment pin 150 transfers toward each side of the substrate G in face to face with the pin while performing eccentric rotating movement, and a collar (contacting portion) 150b contacts with a substrate edge (substrate side). Furthermore, the pin pushes the substrate G from there. This makes the substrate G in displacement or transfer toward a pushed direction on the lift pin 132, and the opposite long side of the substrate G is pushed to a fixing alignment pin. As a result, the substrate G is caught in between the eccentric movable alignment pin 150 and the fixing alignment pin, then its positioning is finished. Ž

A luminaire includes a base, a lighting module disposed on the base, the lighting module including a mounting plate, and a plurality of light emitting diodes provided on the mounting plate, and a cover surrounding the lighting module and secured in the base, the cover optimally directing light emitted by the plurality of light emitting diodes.

A heat dissipation structure for a display panel efficiently dissipates heat generated during operation of the display panel, and a display module including the heat dissipation structure is also so characterized. The heat dissipation structure is capable of preventing electromagnetic waves generated during the operation of the display panel operation from adversely influencing a driving circuit. The heat dissipation structure comprises: a display panel; a heat dissipating sheet contacting a rear surface of the display panel; and a chassis base disposed on a rear side of the heat dissipating sheet and connected to the display panel via a double-sided adhesive element. The heat dissipating sheet includes two heat dissipating layers and a metal sheet layer interposed between the two heat dissipating layers.

A vehicle lamp 10 is provided with a lamp unit 30 which applies beams of the desired patterns ahead, and a double axis actuator 50 having a first drive mode in which the lamp unit is rotated in one of two planes that are orthogonal to each other and a second drive mode in which the lamp unit is rotated in the other of the two planes. The double axis actuator is provided with a single output part 540 which rotates the lamp unit in the two planes, and a drive part (including a drive source 550 and a movable part 561) which drives the output part. The double axis actuator can rotate the lamp unit in the each plane regardless of the rotational positions along the above two planes.

Disclosed is a cassette for loading a substrate, which includes a cassette main body which includes upper and lower frames spaced apart at upper and lower sides, a plurality of internal support bars for supporting the substrate, side frames provided at opposite sides of the upper and lower frames and forms a box shape to internally receive the substrate; a center frame which includes a plurality of internal support bars for supporting the substrate and is vertically disposed in a back of the upper and lower frames; and a connecting member which is provided between the center frame and the cassette main body and detachably connects the center frame to the cassette main body, wherein the connecting member comprises a first fixing unit fixed to the cassette main body, and a second fixing unit fixed to the center frame and detachably coupled to the first fixing unit, the first fixing unit being installed at each of a front and a back of the cassette main body.

A method is provided to steadily produce a gas discharge panel, such as a PDP, in which a panel and the top of the barrier ribs are in intimate contact in entirety. First a surrounding unit for the gas discharge panel is formed, then a process for sealing the surrounding unit with a sealing material inserted between two panels at the rim is performed while pressure is adjusted so that pressure inside the surrounding unit is lower than pressure outside. With this construction, the panels constituting the surrounding unit are bonded together while they are pressurized from outside. As a result, a panel and the top of the barrier ribs on the other panel are bonded together while they are in intimate contact in entirety. To fully acquire these effects, it is preferable that the adjustment of pressure starts before the sealing material hardens. During, before, or after the sealing step, an energy such as laser beams or ultrasonic waves may be radiated onto the top of the barrier ribs to bond a panel and the top of the barrier ribs in entirety almost without a gap between them.

To obtain a stable image forming apparatus of a high quality without a luminance fluctuation and a color mixture due to a positional deviation, the following construction is disclosed. A method of manufacturing an image display apparatus in which a first substrate on which fluorescent body exciting means is arranged and a second substrate on which a fluorescent body that emits light by the fluorescent body exciting means is arranged are arranged so as to face each other and are adhered through joining members at their peripheries, wherein a seal bonding step of adhering the first and second substrates through a joining members and a step of performing a position matching of the first and second substrates are executed in a vacuum.

A leader member includes a connection portion that is connected to a substrate and a position reference portion that is used at least for aligning the substrate with the connection portion.
