    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance electron emission characteristics and lengthen the life by forming a region covered with metal and a region covered with a metal oxide on a conductive film. SOLUTION: A metal film 6 and a metal oxide film 7 are formed on a conductive film 4 on both sides of an electron emission part 5 formed on the conductive film 4, an element electrode 3 connecting to the film 4 on the metal film 6 side is made in high potential and an element electrode 2 connecting to the film 4 on the metal oxide film 7 side is made in low potential for driving. Since the film 4 on the high potential side of the electron emission part 5 is covered with the metal film 6 having high melting point and low vapor pressure, melting and aggregation caused by temperature rising during driving are hardly produced. By forming the film 7 containing an element of an alkali earth metal. a rear earth metal, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, or the like on the low potential side of an electron emission element, electron emission current is increased and stabilized. The electron emission element on which the metal film 6 and the metal oxide film 7 are formed can keep stable electron emission characteristics for a long time.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a liquid crystal element which preferably develops a uniform orientation state with high contrast by subjecting a substrate to such orienting treatment in two directions opposite to each other, in one direction and in almost opposite direction, to satisfy specified conditions of the tilt angle, pretilt angle and inclination angle. CONSTITUTION:At least one substrate is subjected to such orienting treatment at least in two directions opposite to each other to satisfy THETA/2 alpha+delta, wherein THETAa is the apparent tilt angle which is 1/2 of the angle made by two optically stable states, THETA is the tilt angle (cone angle) of the ferroelectric liquid crystal, alpha is the pretilt angle and delta is the inclination angle of the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer to the normal line of the substrate. Thereby, the tendency of pretilt state of the liquid crystal molecule to rise from the substrate is compensated. Further, the macro directionality of inclination or bending direction of smectic layer in a picture element is compensated, and movement phenomenon of liquid crystal molecules or asymmetry of threshold is suppressed in such a state durable against external conditions.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve display characteristic of assigning intensity levels by forming conductive high-molecular films doped with at least two kinds of differ ent dopants on a substrate to be subjected to a uniaxial orientation treatment. CONSTITUTION:The conductive high-molecular film doped with at least two kinds of the different dopants or the combined film composed of the conductive high-molecular film doped with at least two kinds of the different dopants and a high-molecular substance having good uniaxial orientability is formed on at least one substrate to be subjected to the uniaxial orientation treatment. The film, at least one kind of the dopants of which are dedoped into a ferroelectric liquid crystal by impression of an electric field or defusing, at least one kind of the dopants of which are not dedoped into the ferroelectric liquid crystal, is more preferable. Namely, the hysteresis which is of problem in the case of execution of gradation driving is removed by using the conductive high-molecular oriented films doped with two kinds of the different dopants for the ferroelectric liquid crystal element.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide the device and method for optical echo memory recording and reproduction which enable real-time recording and reproduction in a picosecond time area without being limited to an electronic operation speed. CONSTITUTION:At the time of recording, a means 5 which converts a spatial bit pattern into a time series by parallel-serial conversion prepares a time series light pulse data signal 6 to be recorded on an optical echo memory medium 7. At the time of reproduction, a means 9 which converts the time series signal into the spatial bit pattern by serial-parallel conversion and a detection means 11 are used to detect the time-series signal 8, reproduced from the optical echo medium 7, as a reproduction signal 10 of a spatial pattern.
