Abstract:
An optical recording medium including two or more recording layers which are capable of transmitting at a high transmittance recording light or reproducing light for performing recording/reproducing of a first recording layer (3) without having to make the thickness of a second recording film (5) positioned towards the side from which the recording light or the reproducing light enters. An optical recording medium including two or more recording layers, and which includes the first recording layer (3), the second recording layer (5) positioned further towards, with an intermediate layer (4) in between, the side from which the recording light or the reproducing light enters than is the first recording layer (3), and includes, between the above-mentioned intermediate layer (4) and the above-mentioned second recording layer (5), a dielectric layer (7) for increasing the transmittance for light passing through the above-mentioned second recording layer as the incident angle of the light becomes greater.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal device capable of imparting a desired phase distribution to transmitted light without need to perform complex calculation. The manufacture and evaluation of the liquid crystal device can be easily conducted. A liquid crystal layer (120) sealed in the space between glass substrates (100, 110) has a given thickness distribution due to the unevenness of a sub-substrate (111) provided on the inner side of the glass substrate (110). Electrodes (130, 140) provided on both sides of the liquid crystal layer (120) are planar and parallel. Therefore, the spacing between the two electrodes (130, 140) are always constant, and the distribution of the electric field applied to the liquid crystal layer (120) is uniform. As a result, the shape of the phase distribution to which the light transmitted through the liquid crystal is subjected is determined only by the thickness distribution of the liquid crystal layer, and the magnitude is determined by the value of the voltage applied between the electrodes. Thus, since the distribution of the electric field applied to the liquid crystal layer is uniform, the phase distribution of the transmitted light is easily and accurately calculated by using the thickness distribution of the liquid crystal layer.
Abstract:
A connector (2) in Fig. 5 provided on a projector has an RF chip (6). A plug (1A) connected to the connector (2) has an RF chip (5A) at a position opposite to the RF chip (6) of the connector (2). When a protruding section (7) of the plug (1A) is inserted and fit into an aperture section (8) of the connector (2), the RF chip (5A) of the plug (1A) and the RF chip (6) of the connector (2) perform wireless communication with each other in a non-contact state. Thus, a connecting tool can be easily attached to/detached from a receiving tool without breaking a terminal due to contact such as in a case where a conventional contact type terminal is used.

Abstract:
A printer head which discharges only an ink or mixes an ink with a dilution liquid to discharge the mixed liquid is formed at a portion thereof at least around a nozzle opening on a nozzle opening side surface by a polyimide based polymer to enable forming a recorded image of high resolution and make productivity favorable. The polyimide based polymer is preferably polyimide siloxane which has a water absorption coefficient of 0.4 % or less when immersed in water of 23 °C for 24 hours and is formed through polymerization with heating of 180 °C or less. Further, the portion of the nozzle forming section of the printer head which is not constituted by the polyimide based polymer, is preferably constituted by polysulfone, polyethersulfone and a polyimide based polymer which has water absorption coefficient of 1.0 % or more when immersed in water of 23 °C for 24 hours. Also, a nozzle is preferably formed by ablation processing which uses excimer laser.
Abstract:
In a printer device of the invention, a diaphragm having a thermoplastic layer and a pattern layer rests on a main surface, on which a liquid supply passage of a pressure chamber defining portion is formed, and when the thermoplastic layer of the diaphragm is heated to be bonded to the pressure chamber defining portion under pressure, pressure is concentratedly applied on the pattern layer of the diaphragm, an unnecessary pressure is not applied to that portion opposite to the liquid supply passage, on which the pattern layer is not formed, the liquid supply passage is not clogged by the thermoplastic layer, and an operation of bonding the diaphragm to the pressure chamber defining portion, in which a pressure chamber is defined, is easily performed. Further, in the printer device of the invention, an adhesive layer composed of a thermoplastic resin is formed between the pressure chamber defining portion and the diaphragm to adequately ensure an adhesive strength of the diaphragm relative to the pressure chamber defining portion. Also, in the printer device, if respective nozzles are formed in a nozzle forming member and an adhesive layer composed of a thermosetting resin is formed between the pressure chamber defining portion and the nozzle forming member, the printer device is manufactured such that after adhesion is effected between the diaphragm and the pressure chamber defining portion, the pressure chamber defining portion and the nozzle forming member are bonded to each other at room temperature, by which the adhesive layer composed of a thermoplastic resin is not influenced and which does not apply heat or the like on a liquid repellent film even if it is formed on the nozzle forming member, so that selection of a liquid repellent film is enlarged in range.
Abstract:
In a printer, since a hard member is disposed between a discharge nozzle and a pressure chamber corresponding thereto which has a nozzle introduction hole establishing a communication between the nozzle and the chamber, or a hard member is disposed between a discharge nozzle and a first pressure chamber corresponding thereto, and a constant flow rate nozzle and a second pressure chamber corresponding thereto, the hard members having, respectively, a first nozzle introduction hole establishing a communication between the discharge nozzle and the first pressure chamber and a second nozzle introduction hole establishing a communication between the constant flow rate nozzle and the second pressure chamber, when a pressure is applied to the pressure chamber, the first or second pressure chambers by a pressurising means, the pressures in those pressure chambers increase effectively and stably, and since the discharge nozzle and the constant flow rate nozzle are formed from a resin member, it is possible to form a discharge nozzle and a constant flow rate nozzle in such a manner as to sufficiently satisfy the working properties relative to laser and with good accuracy, whereby reliability and productivity can be improved.
