Abstract: An electrically conductive substrate contains at least titanium. An intermediate layer is provided on a primary surface of the electrically conductive substrate. A composite layer is provided on the intermediate layer. The composite layer includes tantalum layers and catalyst layers. Each of the catalyst layers contains platinum and iridium. Each of the tantalum layers is made from tantalum oxide, tantalum, or a mixture of tantalum oxide and tantalum. The tantalum layers and the catalyst layers are alternately stacked one layer by one layer in a thickness direction of the electrically conductive substrate. A bottom layer of the composite layer closest to the primary surface of the electrically conductive substrate is constituted by one tantalum layer of the tantalum layers. A top layer of the composite layer furthest from the electrically conductive substrate is constituted by one catalyst layer of the catalyst layers.

The member forms an external surface and includes a first opening having a maximum internal diameter. The gap is disposed between the member and the lens. The spacer is disposed between the member and the lens so as to form the gap, and that is directly contact with lens. The spacer has a circular inner periphery, in planar view, which has a larger internal diameter than the maximum internal diameter of the first opening of the member.

Abstract: A mounting method of mounting chips on a substrate includes a temporarily-bonding process, and a main-bonding process. Temporarily-bonding process is to perform a first basic process, repeatedly depending on the number of the chips. First basic process includes a first step and a second step. First step is to align, on a first metal layer of the substrate, a second metal layer of each chip. Second step is to temporarily bond each chip by subjecting the first and second metal layers to solid phase diffusion bonding. Main-bonding process is to perform a second basic process, repeatedly depending on the number of the chips. Second basic process includes a third step and a fourth step. Third step is to recognize a position of each chip temporarily mounted on the substrate. Fourth step is to firmly bond each chip by subjecting the first and second metal layers to liquid phase diffusion bonding.

Abstract: The organic electroluminescent element has a transparent substrate, a transparent first electrode, an organic layer, a second electrode, and a light-outcoupling layer. The light-outcoupling layer is formed between the transparent substrate and the first electrode. The first electrode, the organic layer and the second electrode constitute an electroluminescent laminate. A covering substrate facing the transparent substrate is adhered to the surface of the transparent substrate via an adhesive sealing portion surrounding the periphery of the electroluminescent laminate. A connection electrode extending outward from inside a surrounded region where the electroluminescent laminate is covered with the covering substrate is formed at least on the surface of the light-outcoupling layer. The average thickness of the light-outcoupling layer in an adhesion region where the adhesive sealing portion is formed is smaller than the thickness in the central region where the electroluminescent laminate is formed.
