Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a dioxazine pigment having excellent fluidity. More specifically, an object of the present invention is to provide a dioxazine pigment in which practically sufficient fluidity is attained in both (1) initial viscosity and (2) storage stability when the dioxazine pigment is used in a printing ink application. The object is attained by providing a dioxazine pigment having a contact angle with respect to water according to an infiltration rate method in a range of 30° to 75°, and a contact angle with respect to 1-bromonaphthalene according to an infiltration rate method in a range of 30° to 75°.

Abstract: An illuminated switch includes a lens that is provided integrally with a converter on a surface opposing a light-emitting element disposed on a base constituting a switch body. The lens diffuses light emitted from the light-emitting element through the inner space of a coil spring urging a switch operating unit in the vertical direction. Moreover, a tilted surface is formed at an angle inclining towards the bottom surface of a hole below from the upper surface of the switch operating unit in the axial direction.

Abstract: To provide a method of manufacturing thick-film resistor elements that forms thick-film resistors having a uniform thickness on a substrate surface with high precision.A method of manufacturing thick-film resistor elements by applying a thick-film resistor composition, obtained by dispersing a conductive component and an inorganic binder in an organic medium and which has a specified rheology, through a clear relief image obtained by exposing, curing, and developing a resist layer of a photopolymerizable mixture formed on an insulating substrate according to the resist pattern, and the thick-film paste obtained at this time has almost the same thickness as the photopolymerizable layer on the surface of the insulating substrate and is patterned according to the high-precision pattern defined by the sharp, linear, lateral edge enclosed by the resist image removed by development.
