Abstract: In a normally black mode liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display and the method prevents the light leakage arising from existing the step for adjusting the thickness of the liquid crystal layer between the reflective electrode and the transparent electrode and that high contrast displaying can be possible. The interval adjustment layer is formed between the first substrate that the reflective electrode is formed in the reflective region and the transparent electrode is formed in the transmissive region, and the second substrate that is fixed at predetermined interval from the first substrate. This interval adjustment layer is adjuster of the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective region on the second substrate, and the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective region is preferable to be set approximately the thickness of the liquid crystal layer of the transmissive region.

Abstract: An ozone generator is formed of at least one ozone-generating pipe, a feed gas chamber connected to one side of the ozone-generating pipe, and an ozonized gas chamber connected to the other side of the ozone-generating pipe. When an oxygen-containing feed gas is supplied to the ozone-generating pipe through the feed gas chamber, the feed gas is subjected to silent discharge in a gap between a ground electrode and a high-voltage electrode in the ozone-generating pipe to thereby allow the feed gas to change to an ozonized gas, which is then fed to the ozonized gas chamber. Gas-permeable flame-propagation-preventing members are arranged to sandwich the discharge gap therebetween to prevent outward propagation of ozonized gas decomposition flame in case the frame is induced to the ozonized gas by spark discharge in the ozone-generating pipe. The ozone generator can be used safely.
