PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information recording device performing printing on a label surface of an information recording medium, which reduces unevenness of printing density at a boundary between a printing start position and a printing finish position. SOLUTION: The information recording device is the optical disk device 100 which performs printing on the label surface of the optical disk 110 being an information recording medium. The device 100 is provided with a printing part performing printing on the label surface while the optical disk 110 is rotated, and a printing control part 154 controlling printing processing by the printing part. The printing control part 154 performs control so that in an overlapped area 116 including a boundary 115 between a printing start position 115a and a printing finish position 115b of the label surface of the optical disk 110, printing processing at the boundary 115 is performed at the start of printing and at the finish of printing.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that the surrounding part is stained by a floating mist as the mist of a liquid generated when the liquid is delivered in a conventional liquid delivering head can not be effectively caught. SOLUTION: The liquid discharging head has a nozzle 54 opposing a spraying face 101a of a rotating member 101 rotatably driven, and a head body 49 for delivering the liquid N from the nozzle 54 and a mist catching means 50 for catching the mist M of the liquid N delivered from the nozzle 54 are provided. This mist catching means 50 is formed by making a passage of air flowing in a specified direction on the spraying face 101a when the rotating member 101 is rotatably driven narrower than the space between the nozzle 54 and the spraying face 101a.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for a recording medium driving device or the like capable of easily correcting printed contents. SOLUTION: An optical disk driving device 100 as the recording medium driving device includes a driving part 90 including an optical pickup 80, and a printing unit 50 disposed on the driving part 90. The printing unit 50 includes a printing head 55 disposed to face a disk 10, and a moving mechanism 20 for moving the printing head 55 in a Y direction. In the printing head 55, black or color ink is discharged, and correction liquid is discharged. The application of the correction liquid on the printing target surface 10b of the optical disk 10 corrects a printed image. Thus, as compared with the case of sticking a seal or the like from above the printed image to correct the printed image, almost all eccentricity of the disk 10 is eliminated, and data recording/reproducing is prevented from being unstable. Thus, printed contents are easily erased, additionally recorded, or rewritten. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical disk device suppressing or reducing damage caused by collision between an objective lens and an optical disk when an impact is applied without using a protection member. SOLUTION: When a system controller 51 monitors output of a shock sensor 58 and detects impact of a predetermined value or more, the controller 51 stops supply of a drive signal to a spindle motor 18, while operates a disk brake 21 imparting regulating force to rotation of a disk and reducing rapidly the number of rotation of the disk. Thereby, even if the objective lens 26 collides with the disk D by impact, both damage can be suppressed or reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the possibility of damaging of a condensing element or a recording medium caused by collision of the condensing element with the recording medium. SOLUTION: The target value of a gap in a near field is set at a plurality of stages (52 and 53), and the gap is controlled at stages according to the target value. In other words, the gap is controlled to be larger before a change to a final gap where the possibility of an objective lens being brought into contact with dusts on a disk to collide with the disk via the dusts is relatively high. Thus, the possibility of collision of the objective lens with the disk is reduced, and it is safely shifted to the final gap. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical disk device for printing a label favorably without the need of adding a mechanism of relatively moving a printing head and an optical disk medium. SOLUTION: A printing head 15 for label printing is arranged in a fixed position in a casing 1, and during conveying a disk tray 3 to be ejected, the printing head 15 performs printing along a conveying direction, on the label surface of an optical medium D mounted on the disk tray 3. Since the relative movement of the printing head 15 and the optical disk medium D is linear, higher-quality label printing is achieved as compared with a system in which the printing head performs printing on an optical disk rotated by a spindle motor.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve light utilization efficiency, and to reduce the power consumption and the size of an apparatus. SOLUTION: Red, green and blue illuminating light beams, emitted from light-emitting diodes 12 R, 12G and 12R, are radiated to picture display light bulbs 11R, 11G and 11B through relay lenses and field lenses and are spatially modulated in intensity and are composited by a composite prism 10 and are enlarged and projected on a screen 17 by a projection lens 15. Profiles of light-emitting portions of the light-emitting diodes 12R, 12G and 12B are made identical or similar to profiles of the picture display areas in picture display light bulbs 11R, 11G and 11B so that the profiles of light beams radiated to the picture display areas will correspond to profiles of the picture display regions.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable accurate precipitation display free of crosstalk by shortening the time needed for the display and to maintain an image for a long time. SOLUTION: When an image is displayed by applying a voltage to respective pixels by electrodes arranged in matrix and precipitating and dissolving metal, a voltage which is lower than a threshold voltage is applied after a voltage above the threshold voltage which is a precipitation overvoltage is applied to pixels where the metal is precipitated. In concrete, metal is additionally precipitated on address-driven pixels by applying the voltage lower than the threshold voltage after crystal as a core is precipitated on the specified pixels by address driving, thereby writing to the pixels. Or the voltage lower than the threshold voltage is applied after the specified pixels are written to by the address driving to hold the write state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a simple matrix driving in an electrochemical display device. SOLUTION: The electrochemical display device performs displaying by using the electrochemical deposition and dissolution of metal. The display device is driven by a simple matrix driving system, and uses deposition overvoltage in the case of depositing metallic ion as the metal as a threshold in the simple matrix driving. Driving voltage is set to be not higher than two-fold of the deposition overvoltage. The display device has a transparent electrode and a counter electrode of to perform display by deposition and dissolution of the metal on the transparent electrode. The potential difference of metal to be deposited on the transparent electrode and the counter electrode is set to be lower than the deposition overvoltage. To be ideal, the same metal as the metal deposited at the counter electrode is used.
