PURPOSE:To securely actualize a swinging state which is necessary for wobbling, to effectively obtain high resolution, and to reduce dependency on element environment temperature by obtaining an orientating processing direction with good reproducibility at all times and easily and securely orienting liquid crystal in the same direction. CONSTITUTION:When one orientation film 22 is formed, an orienting process is performed in a direction 90 substantially at an angle 6 of 22.5 deg. to a wobbling direction or a direction crossing it at right angles and the orienting process direction 90 deg. of the other orientation film 23 facing said orientation film 22 is placed in mirror image relation with the orienting process direction 90 of the orientation film 22 about the axis Y of the wobbling direction or the axis X crossing it at right angles.

PURPOSE:To easily and surely realize an analog gradation display in particular at a low cost while maintaining a high contrast of the liquid crystal element and more particularly the ferroelectric liquid crystal display element. CONSTITUTION:This liquid crystal element is constituted by disposing a pair of substrates 1a, 1b provided with transparent electrodes 2a, 2b and oriented films 3a, 3b in this order so as to face each other via a prescribed spacing and injecting a ferroelectric liquid crystal 5 into the spacing. A dielectric constant distribution is formed within the unit region of the liquid crystal, by which the liquid crystal element is so constituted as to generate a distribution in the effective electric field acting on the liquid crystal within the mentioned above unit region. Domains (microdomains) sized >=2mumphi are required to exist by >=100 pieces in the 1mm visual field of the liquid crystal element when the transmittance by inversion domains is 25%. In addition, the threshold voltage width within these domains is required to be >=1.5 volts within a 10 to 90% transmittance range.

PURPOSE:To accurately form a gap to a specified thickness between glass substrates by interposing spacer and spherical adhesive between two glass substrates and spreading the spacer and spherical adhesive in order of a smaller particle size. CONSTITUTION:When a liquid crystal display element is formed by spreading a spcer and spherical adhesive or by using spacers of different particle sizes, the material having a smaller particle size is frist spreaded on the glass substrate, or a spacers corresponding to the gap size between glass substrates are used. There is no any limit except the above, for example, any kind of spacer or any spreading method is used. Namely, by spreading the material successively in order of smaller particle size on the glass substrate, aggregation of the spacers during spreading can be prevented and the gap can be uniformly formed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To clean the surface of a liq. crystal panel so that an oriented film to be formed after washing is not disordered. CONSTITUTION:When each liq. crystal panel 1 is pulled up from a washing vessel 3, the pulling-up direction B of the panel 1 is made to coincide with the orientation direction A of an oriented film 4 to be formed on the panel 1 after washing. In order to dry the panel 1 pulled up from the vessel 3, droplets sticking to the surface of the panel 1 are preferably blown off by blowing air, etc., on the panel 1.

PURPOSE:To improve the memory characteristics by performing an orientation process contactlessly. CONSTITUTION:Orientation films 5, 5 are formed on transparent electrode films 4, 4 formed in facing surfaces each other in a pair of glass panels 6, 6, and strong dielectricity liquid crystals are injected to a part between the orientation films 5, 5 to be a liquid crystal display element. The orientation films 5, 5 composite charge-transfer complex thin film obtained by vacuum deposition, and tetrathiofluvalene-tetracyanoquinodimetan (TTF-TCNQ) complex film, for example, is used. A response speed is improved extremely by this, and an extremely stable memory performance can be obtained.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new device and a method for detecting echinocytes contained in blood.SOLUTION: As a result of obtaining and analyzing visible absorption spectra of erythrocytes, it has been found that echinocytes exhibit a characteristic spectrum pattern accompanying an absorption peak in a wavelength region of 450-490nm between a Sorbet band and a Q band. Consequently, a blood analyzer is provided including an analysis unit for detecting the absorption peak of the visible absorption spectrum obtained for blood. By using the blood analyzer, the echinocytes contained in the blood can be detected based on the absorption peak.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a data size while maintaining necessary and sufficient image quality for evaluation for moving image data of an object used for evaluation when evaluating the object performing periodic motion, such as pulsation of a myocardium cell sheet.SOLUTION: A motion period determination unit 220 sequentially inputs frame image data of a moving picture with a captured image of the myocardium cell sheet 500 to detect a frame difference, thus generating T frame difference data for storage. Then, the motion period determination unit 220 determines an actual working period when the myocardium cell sheet 500 actually works by the pulsation based on T frame difference data, and a standstill period when the myocardium cell sheet 500 stands still. A frame thinning processing unit 230 records frame image data for each frame for the actual working period, and records one frame image data for each prescribed number of frames by thinning for the standstill period.
