Abstract: A method for producing a protective coat formed on the top surface of a substrate, or on the top surface of a thin film layered body formed on the substrate is disclosed, wherein the protective coat comprises silicon oxynitride in which the atomic ratio of Si/O/N is 100/X/Y (130?X+Y?180, 10?X?135, 5?Y?150), wherein the protective coat is formed by a sputtering method in which silicon nitride is used as a target material, an inert gas is used as a sputtering gas, and N2 is used as a reactive feed gas. The oxygen component of the obtained protective coat comprising the silicon oxynitride is incorporated into the composition of the protective coat by degradation of moisture that was present in the substrate or the thin film layered body or in the reaction apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrode for electroluminescence for use in electronic devices including organic electroluminescent devices and a process for producing the same, in which interfacial electric characteristics, such as work functions, can be easily controlled. The process for producing an electrode for electroluminescence comprises the step of diffusing an additive element for an electrode into the electrode and/or the step of developing surfactant properties of the additive element for an electrode.

Abstract: The main object is to provide an organic EL display panel capable of achieving the electromagnetic wave blocking effect without providing newly an electromagnetic wave blocking layer, and to provide an organic EL display panel having a barrier film with an uniform composition even in the case it is produced using an in line type device, capable of preventing the light emission deterioration of the organic EL due to the gas outputted from the base member, such as the oxygen and the moisture. The organic EL display panel comprises a base member, an organic EL element, and a barrier layer provided between the base member and the organic EL element, wherein the barrier layer comprises two kinds of laminated inorganic films, the inorganic film on the base member side out of the two kinds of the inorganic films is an inorganic oxide film having the conductivity, and the inorganic film on the organic EL element side is an inorganic film having the gas barrier property and the insulation property.

Abstract: An information recording medium (10) comprises a base sheet (2a), a resin layer (2) formed on the base sheet (2a) and having a holographic region (6) provided with a diffraction grating (4) in a regular or irregular arrangement, and a ferromagnetic thin film (3) formed on the holographic region (6) of the resin layer (2). The ferromagnetic thin film (3) has a specific magnetic characteristic dependent on a holographic pattern formed in the holographic region (6). The magnetic characteristics of the ferromagnetic thin film are converted into signals corresponding to the holographic pattern.
