  • Patent number: 9990946
    Abstract: To control the resonance generated in the head assembly and improve property on the head location controlling. A head assembly includes: a slider having a head element; a slider supporting plate for holding the slider; a load beam for holding the slider supporting plate; a support projection which is arranged on the front end part of the load beam and on which the slider supporting plate is supported rotatably; a drive unit that rotates the slider supporting plate around the support projection; a dynamic vibration absorber arranged on the slider supporting plate, wherein the dynamic vibration absorber is disposed closer to the rear end side of the load beam than the support projection and has vibration freedom in the rotating direction of the slide supporting plate.

  • Patent number: 6259204
    Abstract: An organic EL structure is formed on a substrate 1, and a sealing sheet is located at a position above the substrate, where the sealing sheet comes in no contact with the organic EL structure. A height from the surface of the substrate, on which an organic EL device structure in a film form is provided, to a junction of the sealing sheet with the substrate has a value larger than the value obtained by adding the size of an irregularity or undulation of the sealing sheet to the height of the organic EL structure.
