Abstract: A method of forming a hydrophobic coating layer on a surface of a nozzle plate for an ink-jet printhead includes preparing a nozzle plate having a nozzle, forming a metal layer on a surface of the nozzle plate, forming a material layer covering the metal layer, selectively etching the material layer to expose a portion of the metal layer formed on an outer surface of the nozzle plate, and forming the hydrophobic coating layer of a sulfur compound on the exposed portion of the metal layer by dipping the nozzle plate in a sulfur compound-containing solution.

Abstract: An edge light type backlight unit having an improved light-reception portion. The backlight unit includes one or more light sources that emit light, a light guide panel that guides the propagation of light incident on one side edge thereof, one or more light-reception portions having a first entrance face slanted opposite the side edge of the light guide panel on which the light is incident at a predetermined angle, and one or more reflecting elements that are disposed between each of the light-reception portions and each of the light sources and guides the light emitted by the light source so that it is incident on the first entrance face.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical polyimide precursor for use in making a polyimide. The precursor is defined by the following formula: wherein X is Cl, Br, oxo-halide, or fully halogenated alkyl, and A is a divalent aromatic or halogenated aromatic moiety. The present invention provides a method of preparing a diamine compound for use as an optical polyimide precursor. The method includes the steps of dissolving 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzotrifluoride and a diol in N,N-dimethylacetamide to form a solution, adding potassium carbonate, tert-butylammonium chloride and copper powder to said solution and heating the resulting mixture, removing the copper, precipitating and recrystallizing a dinitro-compound resulting from heating the mixture, and dissolving the dinitro-compound and reducing the dinitro-compound to yield a diamine compound.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical polyimide compound defined by the following formula in an optical high polymer material: wherein X is Cl, Br, oxo-halide, or fully halogenated alkyl; A is a divalent aromatic or halogenated aromatic moiety; and Z is a tetravalent moiety which may be a partly or fully fluorinated aromatic ring, a partly or fully chlorinated aromatic ring, a partly or fully fluorinated cycloaliphatic group, a partly or fully chlorinated aliphatic group, or combinations thereof connected via hetero atoms.

Abstract: A polyimide for optical communications, which is expressed by the formula (1) where R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of CF3, CCl3, unsubstituted aromatic ring group and halogenerated aromatic ring group; R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, F, I, Br, CF3, CCl3, unsubstituted aromatic ring group and halogenated aromatic ring group; and n is an integer from 1 to 39. The polyimides have a superior heat resistance, and can avoid the increase in optical absorption loss due to a refractive index increase and deterioration of adhesive and coating properties due to weak surface tension of a polyimide film. In addition, use of the polyimides as a material for a core layer of optical waveguides can expand the selection range of material for the cladding layer of the optical waveguide.
