Abstract: The liquid ejection head has nozzles for ejecting liquid in which a plurality of pressure chambers are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix configuration. The liquid ejection head comprises: pressure generating devices which are disposed so as to correspond to the pressure chambers and generate pressure for ejecting the liquid in the pressure chambers; pressure sensor members formed in at least two layers which determine the pressure inside the pressure chambers generated by the pressure generating devices; and electrodes which are disposed on both surfaces of one of the layers of the pressure sensor members and cause the one of the pressure sensor members to become effective determination sections.

Abstract: A novel liquid crystal display device is disclosed. The liquid crystal display device comprises a first polarizing film, a first retardation area with an Re of 60 to 200 nm and a value of Nz of less than 0.8 and not greater than 1.5; a second retardation region with an Re of not greater than 50 nm and an Rth of ?200 to ?50 nm; and a liquid crystal cell comprising a liquid crystal layer being aligned in parallel to the surfaces of the pair of substrates in a black state with a slow axis in a black state parallel to the transmission axis of the first polarizing film; and a second polarizing film.
