Abstract: A recording material mounting face portion is provided on which recording materials are stacked for being fed. A body slide portion is attached to the recording material mounting face portion to be slidable in a widthwise or a feeding direction of the recording material. A movable edge guide includes a body operating portion having a guide face that contacts a side of the recording material while being fed and a fixing means that fixes a position of the movable edge guide in a slide direction of the movable edge guide. The fixing means includes notch columns on a surface of the recording material mounting face portion along the slide direction of the movable edge guide and engaging protrusions on the movable edge guide and that engage notches of the notch columns to realize the fixed state.

Abstract: A recording media separating device that separates recording media fed by a feeding roller and a hopper into a top recording medium and next-to-top recording media is provided. The recording media have been held in a feeding tray before being fed. The recording media separating device includes a movable contact separator having a movable contact separation surface that contacts leading ends of the recording media. When the number of the recording media held in the feeding tray becomes less than a predetermined number, the movable contact separation surface of the movable contact separator is moved to a separation position in a transportation path for the recording media.

Abstract: A feeding device includes a feeding roller and a pair of transport rollers. The feeding roller picks up stacked recording medium and feeds the recording medium downstream direction. The pair of transport rollers transport the fed recording medium to a recording section. The feeding roller is provided so as to be capable of contacting a separating unit that separates the overlapped recording medium with plural. Between a contact point of the feeding roller and the separating unit and a nip point of the pair of transport rollers, a first tangent line does not intersect a second tangent line. The first tangent line is situated at the contact point of the feeding roller and the separating unit. The second tangent line is situated at the nip point of the pair of transport rollers.

Abstract: An organic EL device with a voltage applied across an anode and a cathode so that holes are moved in a hole transport layer and electrons are moved in an electron transport layer, and the holes and the electrons are recombined in a light emitting layer to emit light. The light emitting layer is formed of light emitting material having one or more kinds of metallic impurities. By using such a light emitting material, the decrease of light-emission luminance of the organic EL device can be suppressed.

Abstract: In an organic EL device, when a voltage is applied across an anode and a cathode, holes are moved in a hole transport layer and electrons are moved in an electron transport layer, and the holes and the electrons are recombined in a light emitting layer. In the light emitting layer, excitons are produced by energy released upon the recombination, and the excitons release energy in the form of fluorescence or phosphorescence or emit light when returning to the ground state. The hole transport material is used in the hole transport layer, in which the amount of cationic impurities and/or the amount of anionic impurities are controlled to be small, so that the decrease of light-emission luminance of the organic EL device is suppressed and excellent light emitting properties are maintained for a long period of time.

A light emitting material is used to form the light emitting layer 42. When the light emitting layer 42 is formed using the light emitting material, the light emitting layer contains one or more kinds of metallic impurities, but an amount of a metallic impurity of which content is the largest among the metallic impurities contained in the layer is 2.5 ppm or less, or when the light emitting material is dissolved in a liquid so that the concentration thereof becomes 2.0 wt %, the liquid contains one or more kinds of metallic impurities, but an amount of the metallic impurity of which content is the largest among the metallic impurities contained in the liquid is 50 ppb or less.
