Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus for manufacturing a template includes a vacuum chamber, an electrode and an adjustor. The vacuum chamber includes an inlet and an exhaust port of a reactive gas. The vacuum chamber is capable of maintaining an atmosphere depressurized below atmospheric pressure. The electrode is provided in an interior of the vacuum chamber. A high frequency voltage is applied to the electrode. A substrate is placed on the electrode. The substrate has a back surface on a side of the electrode. A recess is provided in the back surface. The adjustor is inserted into the recess. The adjustor is insulative.

Abstract: An actuatable film type display device has a plurality of actuatable films. Each of the actuatable films is colored in a desired color and is put in or out of a gap between two white plates of adjacent pixels according to the driving control. The actuatable film is supported by a cantilever. An electrode (actuatable electrode) is attached to the cantilever. Further, two fixed electrodes are disposed to sandwich the cantilever. The actuatable electrode is moved closer to one of the fixed electrodes by a potential applied to the electrode on the cantilever, that is, the actuatable electrode and potentials applied to the fixed electrodes. The actuatable film, white plate, cantilever, and fixed electrodes are combined to constitute one pixel. A plurality of pixels thus formed are arranged in a matrix form to constitute a dot matrix display device.

Abstract: A thermal ink-jet type image forming apparatus includes a thermal head and a movable ink film reciprocating on the head. The ink film comprises a pair of ink impermeable portions and an ink permeable portion positioned between the ink impermeable portions pair in the moving direction thereof. A separation layer is provided to each surface of the ink impermeable portions pair of the film at the thermal head side. When the recording operation is completed, one of the separation layers of the ink film is held in contact with the thermal head to prevent the ink film from being held in contact with the thermal head directly. This construction prevents the ink film from adhering to the thermal head by a dried ink after the recording operation is completed.
