Abstract:
A mist-generating device includes: a droplet generating unit that generates, in a third liquid, a functional droplet including a first liquid that is spherical and a second liquid that covers an entirety of the first liquid and has a volatility lower than a volatility of the first liquid; and a mist-generating unit that generates a multilayer mist obtained by atomizing the third liquid containing the functional droplet.
Abstract:
An electrostatic atomizer (100) includes a spray electrode (1), a reference electrode (2), a control circuit (24) for controlling a value of a current at the reference electrode (2), and a high-voltage generator (22) for applying a voltage between the spray electrode (1) and the reference electrode (2). The control circuit (24) controls the value of the current at the reference electrode (2) so that the value of this current can be higher than a spray current corresponding to a prescribed spray amount of a substance.
Abstract:
A chamber (1) and an air conduit (7) connecting a liquid surface retaining hole (5) with an air hole (6) for supplying air from the outside of an electrostatic atomizer (50) to the chamber (1) are provided. When the liquid surface retaining hole (5) is blocked, the liquid supply from a liquid supplying section (3) to the chamber (1) will be stopped. The air conduit (7) has bent sections (8), and a space (10) for holding the liquid is formed in the air conduit (7).

An exemplary embodiment of a thin film fabricating apparatus includes: an electrode bath which contains a thin film-forming material; a plurality of needle electrodes disposed in the electrode bath; a plurality of ring electrodes disposed on the electrode bath at positions corresponding to the needle electrodes; and a substrate stand disposed opposite to the needle electrodes and the ring electrodes, where the substrate stand holds the substrate, on which a thin film is to be formed.
Abstract:
An electrostatic atomization system for a vehicle includes an electrostatic atomization device that generates and emits charged micro-particle water from an emission port, a vehicle interior introduction port arranged in an instrument panel in a vehicle interior, and a communication duct that connects the emission port and the vehicle interior introduction port to emit the charged micro-particle water from the vehicle interior introduction port to the vehicle interior. The communication duct includes a first curved portion, which is arranged between the emission port and the vehicle interior introduction port and curved downward in a lower position than the vehicle interior introduction port, and a second curved portion, which is arranged between the first curved portion and the emission port and curved upward in an upper position than the first curved portion.
Abstract:
An electrostatic atomizing device includes a discharge section capable of retaining a liquid, a voltage applying section for applying a voltage to the discharge section, and a control section for setting the voltage applied by the voltage applying section to a given voltage at which a charged particulate water can be produced in an amount equal to or greater than a given amount. The control section is configured to set the voltage applied by the voltage applying section to a voltage lower than the given voltage at an operation start, and then to change the lower voltage to the given voltage. The electrostatic atomizing device can shorten a time needed before the electrostatic atomizing phenomenon occurs.
Abstract:
A charged powder supply device is disclosed. A plurality of charged powder particles are disposed on an upper side of a carrier and at least an action source is positioned at a lower side of the carrier for acting on the carrier so as to vibrate the charged powder particles on the upper side of the carrier. As such, the vibrated charged powder particles are attached to objects to be coated, such as LEDs, under the effect of an electric field so as to form a powder layer, such as a phosphor layer. Since there are no other external forces that affect the moving direction of the charged powder particles, the powder layer can be uniformly formed on the objects.
