A light-emitting device includes a strip-like high flexibility region and a strip-like low flexibility region arranged alternately in a direction. The high flexibility region includes a flexible light-emitting panel. The low flexibility region includes the light-emitting panel and a support panel having a lower flexibility than that of the light-emitting panel and overlapping with the light-emitting panel. It is preferable that the light-emitting panel include an external connection electrode and that a length in the direction of a low flexibility region A that overlaps with the external connection electrode be longer than a length in the direction of a low flexibility region B that is closest to the region A.

The present invention is a night light that plugs into an electrical outlet and has means that allow the night light body, without unplugging the night light, alternatively to conceal from view the entire electrical receptacle in a first orientation and to expose one of the electrical receptacle's outlets for use in a second orientation. The invention thus serves to conceal electrical receptacles in an aesthetically pleasing way while operating as a night light. It can be reoriented from that position, without removing it from the electrical outlet into which it is plugged, to expose for use by another electrical device the electrical outlet of the electrical receptacle not being used by the night light, while continuing to function as a night light.

A light source unit and a display device that are further thinned while evenness in brightness on an emission surface is secured are provided. A light source unit and a display device of the present invention include a light source installation surface on which at least one micro light source is installed, a base that is arranged with the light source installation surface and has a light-transmitting property, a reflection pattern that is formed on a first surface of the base positioned on a light source installation surface side based on light distribution characteristics of the at least one micro light source, and a low reflection pattern that is formed in a region of the light source installation surface positioned around the at least one micro light source based on the light distribution characteristics. A reflectivity in the region of the light source installation surface in which the low reflection pattern is formed is less than a reflectivity in a region other than the region in which the low reflection pattern is formed.

This Graphic Band Assembly includes a band/strap that may be worn and is printed with a graphic image made up of electroluminescent segments. The graphic image on the band/strap is animated by the programming of circuitry contained in underlying layers of the band/strap which causes the selective illumination of the segments. The Graphic Band Assembly includes a PCB control unit and a rechargeable battery that contain the illumination program, control the EL illumination pattern, and provide the power to illuminate the EL Band. The Assembly includes accessible switches that allow the unit to be turned on and off, and to switch between programs. The Assembly includes a USB port for recharging and programming the device.

An illumination element marks escape routes in vehicles. The illumination element includes a planar substrate, which has: a base surface configured for fastening on a first side; and at least one planar electrical lighting element on a second side. A ratio of a surface area of the base surface to a thickness of the illumination element is greater than 500 mm, and a ratio of the surface area of the base surface to a mass of the illumination element is greater than 100 mm.sup.2/g.

Energy harvesting system for harvesting electric energy from a power cable including a power cable having at least one core that includes in a radial direction: an electric conductor; an insulation system surrounding the electric conductor comprising at least an insulating layer; a ground shield surrounding the insulation system; and at least one insulated metallic electrode positioned between the electric conductor and the ground shield. At least a part of an outer surface of the at least one insulated metallic electrode is not in direct contact with the ground shield. The at least one insulated metallic electrode is spaced from the electric conductor.

A lighting device that can ensure task productivity while reducing the glare is provided herein. The lighting device has a light source; and a light guiding part including a light guiding panel and configured to guide light that is emitted from the light source. The light guiding panel includes: a light incident end surface that is situated facing the light source, the light incident end surface being a surface on which the light emitted from the light source is incident; a first light emitting part that is included in an opposite end from the light incident end surface, and that emits the light guided inside the light guiding panel; and a second light emitting part that is included in a predetermined main surface of the light guiding panel that intersects with the light incident end surface, and that emits the light guided inside the light guiding panel.

To provide a light guide plate with reduced luminance unevenness. The light guide plate includes: a base portion having a one surface and a light incident surface disposed on one end side of the one surface and intersecting the one surface, and a plurality of convex lenses provided on a side facing the one surface of the base portion, each of the plurality of convex lenses extending in a first direction and aligned along a second direction which is substantially orthogonal to the first direction, where the base portion includes at least a first region relatively close to the light incident surface and a second region relatively far from the light incident surface, and where the first region is provided with a plurality of first bottom portions that are surfaces disposed between the convex lenses adjacent to each other in the second direction and inclined with respect to the first direction.

An electronic module comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, a third substrate, a joint member, a frame member, and a reinforcement member. An electronic element is arranged on the first substrate. An electrical terminal is provided on a peripheral portion of the first substrate. The joint member joins the first substrate and the second substrate. The third substrate is electrically connected to the electrical terminal of the first substrate. The frame member includes a wall portion surrounding a part of the first substrate and a part of the second substrate, and a contact portion having a convex shape and contacting the second substrate. The reinforcement member is arranged at a point where the electrical terminal and the third substrate are connected.
