Abstract: An electrode structure includes: a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged separately from each other; and a plurality of dielectric layers laminated in a first direction with respect to the plurality of pixel electrodes, in which the plurality of dielectric layers includes: a first dielectric layer that spreads over the plurality of pixel electrodes in a direction intersecting with the first direction; and a second dielectric layer that includes dielectric material having a refractive index higher than that of the first dielectric layer, sandwiches the first dielectric layer together with the plurality of pixel electrodes, and has a slit at a position overlapping space between pixel electrodes adjacent when viewed from the first direction.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium having a magnetic recording layer on at least one surface of a non-magnetic support, wherein the magnetic recording layer has thereon a lubricant layer containing at least one fluoroalkyl sulfo compound having an ether or ester linkage, which is represented by the following formula (1). The magnetic recording medium is free from corrosion of the magnetic recording layer and has a low coefficient of friction and excellent running durability and shelf stability. The lubricant layer is particularly suitable for a magnetic recording medium having a metal thin film with or without an inorganic protective film as a magnetic recording layer.(Rf--A--R--SO.sub.3).sub.k X Formula (1)wherein Rf represents a fluoroalkyl group or a perfluoroalkyl group; A represents ##STR1## R represents an alkylene group; k represents an integer of 1 or 2; and X represents --H, --M, --MH (wherein M is an alkali metal or an alkali earth metal), or any one of primary to quaternary ammoniums.

Abstract: A method for making a magnetic recording medium comprises the steps of mixing ferromagnetic grains and a surface treating agent, grinding the resulting mixture, and thus obtaining a ground mixture. A binder and a solvent are added to the ground mixture, which results from the mixing and grinding process, the resulting mixture is kneaded and diluted, and a kneaded and diluted mixture is thus obtained. An additive and a solvent are then added to the kneaded and diluted mixture, which results from the kneading and diluting process, a dispersion process is carried out on the resulting mixture, and a dispersion mixture is thereby obtained. Thereafter the dispersion mixture, which results from the dispersion process, is applied to a non-magnetic substrate.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a magnetic recording disk comprises the steps of providing a magnetic recording layer on a surface of a nonmagnetic support, punching the nonmagnetic support together with the magnetic recording layer into a disk having a circular hole in its central portion, and fitting mechanical members including a center core made of a synthetic resin into the hole of the support. The nonmagnetic support having the magnetic recording layer and at least the center core of the mechanical members are subjected to heat treatment independently prior to fitting the mechanical members including the center core into the hole of the support.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium is described, having improved carrier noise ratio and weather resistance, by controlling the content and the crystal size of iron nitride which contains iron oxide or .epsilon.-Fe.sub.x N (2<x.ltoreq.3).

Abstract: A method is described for preparing a magnetic recording medium by vapor-depositing a magnetic metal thin film on a polyester film, which comprises winding up a polyester film while subjecting the polyester film to a tension of from 0.1 to 2.0 kg/mm.sup.2, heating the resulting polyester film roll at 60.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. for from 10 to 100 hours, and vapor-depositing a magnetic thin film onto the polyester film while subjecting the polyester film to a tension of 0.5 kg/mm.sup.2 or more.
