Patent number: 8646888Abstract: An ink cartridge has a label portion on a wall surface of one periphery of a case forming an ink accommodating unit. The label unit has a lamination structure in which a plurality of layers with different properties and states are laminated, and includes an optical functional layer that allows light (first wavelength of light) with a predetermined wavelength to pass and an optical reflective layer that reflects the first wavelength of light, and the optical reflective layer is a surface side of the case. When the optical reflective layer is heated from a thermal head of a heating unit directed to the label portion, the optical reflective layer irreversibly raises absorptivity of the first wavelength of light with respect to a received range.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2012Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Satoshi Gocho, Atsushi Kijima, Yoshihiro Koizumi, Yoshihiro Nakamura, Akihito Matsumoto, Takeshi Iwamuro, Nobumasa Fukushima, Masaru Takahashi, Takakazu Fukano

Patent number: 8585194Abstract: An ink cartridge has a label portion on a wall surface of one periphery of a case forming an ink accommodating unit. The label unit has an optical functional layer that allows a predetermined wavelength of light to pass, an optical dispersion layer that includes hollow bodies, and an optical absorptive layer that absorbs the first wavelength of light, which are laminated in this order, and the optical absorptive layer is a surface side of the case. When the optical reflective layer is heated from a heating unit directed to the label portion at a temperature of damaging the hollow bodies, the dispersion of the light is suppressed by the damage to the hollow bodies, and the transmittance of the wavelength of light is irreversibly raised.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Miho Minamikawa, Hideki Ochiai, Satoshi Gocho, Yoshihiro Koizumi, Yoshihiro Nakamura, Akihito Matsumoto, Takeshi Iwamuro, Nobumasa Fukushima, Masaru Takahashi, Takakazu Fukano
