The magnetic head is filled between front gap forming surfaces (the front gap facing a magnetic tape) of a pair of Fe-Al-Si core pieces with non-magnetic ceramic films formed on the respective front gap forming surfaces and a glass film formed therebetween, and between rear gap forming surfaces for junction with an Ag-Cu-In series alloy film.

Abstract: A display apparatus using a light-transmitting ceramic having an electrooptic effect. A voltage application head has at least a pair of electrodes which contact the light-transmitting ceramic. The head is driven by a head driver so as to scan across a surface of the light-transmitting ceramic. Electrodes may be formed also on the surface of the light-transmitting ceramic. A bright and dark pattern caused by double refraction in the light-transmitting ceramic is seen through a polarizing plate.

Abstract: A display apparatus using a light-transmitting ceramic plate having an electrooptic effect known as Kerr effect is disclosed. The ceramic plate is placed between two parallel polarizers having a same axis of polarization. A transparent flexible sheet faces a surface of the ceramic plate. The flexible sheet has a plurality of transparent striped electrodes on a surface facing the surface of the ceramic plate. The striped electrodes are locally brought into contact with the surface of the ceramic plate by a pressure applied by a pressure application head which is either always or intermittently pressed onto the flexible sheet. The pressure application head is movable in a direction parallel to the striped electrodes for scanning.

The terminal portions and windows are properly arranged to distribute an electric field within each of the window areas so that the transmittance of the shutter array element is substantially constant regardless of a temperature change.
