Abstract: An ink jet ink is disclosed which includes water, a water-soluble organic solvent and a coloring material and has excellent properties. The coloring material is a specific phthalocyanine derivative and is contained in a specific amount in the ink. The water-soluble organic solvent includes a specific amount of 2-pyrrolidone. In addition, a d75 value is in a specific range where the d75 value corresponds to 75% of a dispersion distance distribution, measured by a small angle X-ray scattering method, of molecular aggregates in the ink jet ink whose coloring material concentration is adjusted to 0.5 mass %.

Abstract: There is provided ink jet ink containing at least a coloring material, in which: the coloring material is a compound represented by the following general formula (I) or a salt thereof; a content (weight %) of the coloring material is 3.0 weight % or more with respect to a total weight of the ink jet ink; in a dispersion distance distribution, measured by a small-angle X-ray scattering method, of molecular aggregates in the ink jet ink whose coloring material concentration is adjusted to 3.0 weight %, a dispersion distance d75 value corresponding to 75% of the distribution is 3.0 mass % is 6.50 nm or more and 7.

Abstract: Provided is an ink jet ink comprising at least a coloring material comprising a compound represented by the general formula (I) or a salt thereof; and a compound represented by the general formula (II). Thereby, there can be provided an ink jet ink that provides image quality comparable to silver halide photograph and provides a recorded article having high light fastness.

Abstract: An ink jet ink contains at least a coloring material and a specific water-soluble organic solvent and has both excellent color developability and excellent humidity resistance. The coloring material exhibits a small (9 or less) color difference ?E value which is determined by a method including a series of specific steps and is represented as the square root of (L1-L2)2+(a1-a2)2+(b1-b2)2. The specific water-soluble organic solvent has an evaporation rate X smaller than that of water and a moisture absorptivity Y, the values of X and Y satisfying the relation of Y?2.8X+10. The content of the specific water-soluble organic solvent is 50 mass % or more of the total amount of water-soluble organic solvents contained in the ink.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a black ink for an ink jet which possesses preferable color as a black ink for an ink jet, can attain high ozone resistance, high image density and sticking recovery property, and can suppress the decomposition of the compound represented by the general formula (I) or salt thereof during long-term storage. According to the present invention, there is provided a black ink for an ink jet characterized by comprising at least a compound represented by the following general formula (I) or a salt thereof, characterized in that the black ink comprises at least one moisture-retaining nitrogen compound, and the pH of the ink and the pH of the ink after storing for 10 days in an environment at a temperature of 60° C. are 9.5 or less.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes at least one semiconductor structure which has a plurality of external connection electrodes formed on a semiconductor substrate. An insulating sheet member is arranged on the side of the semiconductor structure. Upper interconnections have connection pad portions that are arranged on the insulating sheet member in correspondence with the upper interconnections and connected to the external connection electrodes of the semiconductor structure.
