One embodiment of the films is an optical compensation film wherein d satisfies the equation of d=−0.0115×Rth+3.0 d (μm) or is within the range of ±10% thereof, in which d (μm) is a thickness of the optically anisotropic layer and Rth (nm) is the retardation of only the transparent support in the thickness direction.

An image formation device that inspects for image irregularities caused by joining of inkjet head modules. The image formation device is equipped with a belt conveyance unit, a recording head, a print sensor and a system controller. The belt conveyance unit moves paper in a conveyance direction. At the recording head, modules including plural recording elements that eject ink droplets are joined up to a length corresponding to the width of the paper. The recording head ejects ink droplets at the paper being conveyed to form an image. The print sensor reads the image recorded on the paper, while moving in the width direction of the paper. On the basis of the image that is read, the system controller inspects the quality of the image recorded on the paper.

Post-etching line width localities that occur due to resist film thickness localities can be corrected continuously, without the need for an expensive mask. After a resist applied to a thin film on a substrate is scanned and exposed by an exposure machine, which is selectively turned on and off by image data, the resist and the thin film are developed and etched to produce a pattern having a desired line width. Before the resist is exposed, a film thickness of the resist on the substrate is measured at each of plural locations on the substrate. The measured film thickness is reflected in a predetermined relationship between a pre-exposure film thickness of the resist and a post-etching corrective line width, for thereby determining a corrective line width amount at each of the plural locations on the substrate.

A photographic printer has a lamp which projects light through a cut-off filter, a filter unit, and a diffusion plate. The light travels further through a film negative, an objective lens, and to a polarizing beam splitter. The beam splitter provides the light to a spatial light modulator and to an exposing/enlarging lens. The spatial light modulator includes a light modulating layer of a homeotropically oriented nematic liquid crystal having a negative dielectric anisotropy. Layers of transparent electrodes in the spatial light modulator are provided with a predetermined voltage of a predetermined frequency. A write CRT, controlled by a controller and control unit, provides light to the spatial light modulator so that the light from the beam splitter can be modulated with an appropriate correction. The modulated light and the light from the beam splitter are made incident on a photographic color paper. The photographic printer has improved compensation for blur caused by dust on the optical path. Each pixel or minute region is controlled for reflectance.

摘要:
The invention provides a very efficient and reliable method for electrically connecting the electrodes of an electronic device, e.g., IC chips, and the electrodes of, for example, a glass-made circuit board substrate with good repairability. Thus, the electrodes of the IC chip are each first coated with an electroconductive thermally meltable adhesive resinous composition to form a resinous bump, the IC chip is mounted on the substrate with the adhesive-coated electrodes contacting with the respective electrodes of the substrate, and remelting and then solidifying the resinous bumps so that the electrodes are bonded and electrically connected together. As compared with the conventional methods in which an electroconductive thermosetting resinous composition is used for the bumps on the electrodes, the electrical connection can be obtained with a smaller thermal effect and good replaceability of the IC chip found unacceptable with an acceptable one.
