| Editorial Comment | EIjiro has "doorstepping" which is useful. Also it is a prenominal meaning "hanging" or "dangling", so I'll add that too. |

| Comment | Some help with this entry would be welcome: i'm not sure about the PoS and any other possible (additional) meanings - "by that time" might perhaps fit as well. Also, this entry is in none of the dictionaries i have access to, and the sources i have found, if they contain English, are all NJS, so i think if anybody has some stronger evidence it would be welcome. Anyway, this term seems to be is kana only (maybe for obvious reasons: ここに来て means something different, after all)... |

This is a difficult one. Maybe a second cousin to ここにおいて.
All the usage cases I can find are plainly ここに来て, so it would be
quite misleading to have "recently" as the sole gloss. Maybe:
ここにきて /(exp) (1) came here/coming here/(2) (id) recently/ Comment welcome. |
| Current Entry | 導光板 [どうこうばん] /(n) light guide (esp. in chemistry, solid-state physics)/ (2029570) |
| Headword 1 | 導光板 |
| Reading 1 | どうこうばん |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | light guide |
| Reference | On the web:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/バックライト From the text at hand: 面発光は蛍光灯などが備える特徴で，導光板などの光学部品を利用すればLEDでも実現可能 だ。 |
| Comment | I'd suggest we remove the comment in parentheses since a 導光板 is not a light
guide in the form of a fiber (as might perhaps be envisioned) but a flat and thin but wide object (sheet) of sorts, the likes of which can commonly be found in the back of LCD computer screens and the like; its job is to distribute light from a light source at the side of the screen to evenly illuminate the back of the screen... ;-) (And the web reference shown here has even graphics to that effect.) |
