Abstract: A method of manufacturing display panels includes forming a material layer on a substrate, and baking the material layer formed on substrate which is placed on a supporting bed. The supporting bed is formed of a first supporting bed and a second supporting bed placed on the first supporting bed. A difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the second supporting bed and the substrate is smaller than a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the first supporting bed and the substrate, and the substrate is placed on the second supporting bed such that the substrate is positioned entirely within the perimeter of the second supporting bed during the baking and heating. This structure allows reduction of scratches on a surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing display panels includes the steps of forming a material layer on a substrate (23), and baking the material layer formed on substrate (23) which is placed on a supporting bed (20). The supporting bed (20) is formed of a first supporting bed (21) and a second supporting bed (22) placed on the first one (21). A difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the second supporting bed (22) and the substrate (23) is set smaller than a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the first supporting bed (21) and the substrate (23), and the substrate (23) is placed on the second supporting bed (22) such that the second supporting bed (22) exists around the substrate (23) during the baking step for being heated and baked. This structure allows suppressing the production of scratches on a surface of the substrate (23).

Such a product can be obtained by a process including the steps of: sufficiently premixing an agent-bearing activated carbon powder and a powdered thermoplastic resin to form a mixed powder; then spreading the mixed powder on a base sheet having a certain bulkiness and bearing an agent; stacking an air-permeable sheet thereon; and hot-pressing them.

Abstract: A vehicle data processing system is provided which, even if an on-vehicle data processor such as a navigation system or the like is not active, can input the necessary data into the system at an operator's home or the like. A vehicle includes a data processor and an input unit is independently located in the operator's home or other place. Data of destination and the like inputted into the input unit are transmitted to an information center wherein they are stored in a storage unit. When a sensor in the information center senses that the data processor on the vehicle has become active, the input data are transmitted from the input unit to the data processor.
