Patent number: 7085526Abstract: An apparatus and a method for forming an image is provided that uses a contact type transfer member and a retract mechanism so as to transfer a toner image onto a continuous medium, performs the transfer process stably onto various continuous media and reduces unnecessary transfer of toner from the contact type transfer member to the continuous medium. The unnecessary transfer of toner may be caused by a concentration of contact stress when the contact type transfer member (16), which is moved by a retract mechanism, contacts with the continuous medium (25). To dissipate the contact stress, the transfer member (16) contacts with the continuous medium (25) while the continuous medium (25) is steadily conveyed and the transfer member is steadily rotated. Accordingly, the transfer of the toner from the transfer member (16) to the continuous medium (25) may be reduced. Furthermore, the friction at the contact line may be reduced and thus staining of the continuous medium may be further reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2001Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takeshi Tanimoto

Patent number: 7030951Abstract: Provided is a projection type liquid crystal display apparatus, which can improve black-level display and thus can display a higher-contrast image as compared to the related art. An optical compensator is located on the light exit side with respect to the liquid crystal display device so as to compensate for the optical phase difference caused by liquid crystal molecules in a light-entry-side region of the liquid crystal layer. As the optical compensator is located on the light exit side with respect to the liquid crystal display device, birefringence, caused by the liquid crystal molecules present in the light-entry-side region, is compensated for without being influenced by a microlenses provided in the liquid crystal plane. Consequently, the apparatus can improve the black-level display and thus can display a higher-contrast image as compared to the related art.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2005Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yoshio Suzuki, Sou Miyasaka, Yoshiki Shirochi, Takeshi Tanimoto
