  • Patent number: 5559621
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a liquid crystal panel frame used for a liquid crystal display which comprises a pair of opposed substrates, a pair of electrodes formed on each of those substrates, a plurality of rectilinear barrier members provided at predetermined intervals between both substrates and an orientation film formed on said substrates and being subjected to a rubbing process. Each barrier member extends in substantially parallel to the rubbing direction. By adhering each barrier member to the substrate opposed thereto, a plurality of narrowly partitioned rectilinear spaces in which portions other than an aperture formed at the end portion thereof through which the liquid crystal passes are sealed against liquid. Ferroelectric or anti-ferroelectric liquid crystals are encapsulated into each of those rectilinear spaces to form a liquid crystal panel assembly.

  • Patent number: 5232634
    Abstract: A color filter for use in a liquid-crystal display panel structure, including a transparent substrate having a surface portion, and a multiplicity of filter elements distributed in a predetermined pattern on the surface portion of the substrate, each of the filter elements being formed of a photosetting colored filter composition containing an acrylic resin, a coloring compound and a dispersant. In this color filter according to the present invention, the dispersant preferably includes a derivative of an organic colorant. A color filter according to the present invention may further include a transparent overcoat of a synthetic resin covering the filter elements.

  • Patent number: 4268158
    Abstract: A dry planographic printing apparatus having a photosensitive plate feed mechanism for feeding a photosensitive plate which includes an electrically conductive support and a photoconductive layer formed on the support, the photoconductive layer includes a resin binder and a photoconductive powder dispersed in the binder. The printing apparatus includes mechanisms for charging the photosensitive plate without irradiation by light and then image-exposing the resultant photosensitive plate, and finally developing by use of a conductive toner and fixing of the conductive toner. The toner is transferred to a sheet of transfer material and is then fixed. A delivery mechanism is provided for delivering the transfer material having the fixed toner, and a plate take-out mechanism is provided for taking out the dry planographic printing plate after a predetermined amount of printing.

  • Patent number: 4175958
    Abstract: This invention provides a dry planographic printing plate prepared by forming on an electrically conductive support a photoconductive layer composed of a binder and photoconductive powder dispersed in the binder, charging and then image-exposing a resultant photosensitive plate, and finally developing by means of a conductive toner and fixing the conductive toner. This invention also provides a dry planographic printing method including reversal-developing said printing plate by using a toner, transferring the toner to a sheet of transfer material, and then fixing the toner, as well as an apparatus used in said printing method.
