Abstract:
A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substantially parallel substrates disposed opposite to each other to leave a gap extending two-dimensionally therebetween including a rectangular wider gap region and a peripheral frame-shaped narrower gap region surrounding the wider gap region, a plurality of spacers disposed in the gap over the wider and narrower gap regions, and a liquid crystal disposed between the pair of substrates so as to form pixels in the wider gap region. The spacers are disposed to have a larger volume per unit substrate area in the wider gap region and a smaller volume per unit substrate area in the narrower gap region, thus providing a uniform cell gap between the substrates.
Abstract:
A plasma CVD apparatus whose discharge electrode is a single line member bent in a U shape in an alternating manner and in which a substrate to be processed is held substantially in parallel to the discharge electrode. The electric field around the electrode becomes stronger and the intensity distribution of this field becomes even. As a result, a product film formed on the substrate surface has a uniform thickness, and the film can be formed at high speeds.
Abstract:
A photoelectric converting device having a guide member includes a plurality of photoelectric converting elements disposed to confront an original sheet the image information of which is to be read; a protection layer disposed on the photoelectric converting elements; a light transmissive substrate on which the photoelectric converting elements are disposed; and a flexible guide member disposed on the original-sheet supply side of the light transmissive substrate, the guide member being disposed in such a manner that at least a portion of the guide is positioned in contact with the edge surface of the light transmissive substrate.
