Abstract: A first determination region, a second determination region, and a third determination region are set for each non-operation target object. When an operation target object is located within the first determination region, it is determined that the operation target object has collided with the non-operation target object, and a process is performed. In addition, when a touch input is performed in a state where the operation target object is located within the second determination region, it is determined that the operation target object has collided with the non-operation target object, and a process is performed at this time. Moreover, when the operation target object is located within the third determination region, movement control of the operation target object is performed such that the operation target object avoids a collision with the non-operation target object.

The light-transmissive member has a surface having irregularities associated with the light-diffusing particles. A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device includes steps of: mounting a light-emitting element in a recess of a base member; injecting a silicone resin containing light-diffusing particles into the recess, the light-diffusing particles having a particle size not smaller than 50 ?m; causing the light-diffusing particles to float up to a surface of the injected silicone resin; and curing the injected silicone resin.

Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus, an ejection surface of an ejection head located at a standby position is immersed in an immersion liquid retained in a reservoir during standby of the ejection head. This prevents drying of a plurality of outlets provided in the ejection head and drying of processing liquid flow passages that communicate with the outlets. It is thus possible to suppress or prevent clogging of the fine outlets. When the ejection head resumes processing on a substrate, the immersion liquid in the reservoir is discharged and then a liquid removing part removes the immersion liquid adhering to the ejection surface. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the immersion liquid remaining on the ejection surface from dropping and adhering to the substrate (so-called “liquid dripping”) when, for example, the ejection head is moved to a position above the substrate.

The outer member and the backing member are connected to each other in a part other than a part of the backing member, to which the electrode unit is attached.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus has a cup part for receiving processing liquid such as pure water which is splashed from a substrate. The cup part is formed of electrical insulation material. Hydrophilic treatment may be performed on an outer annular surface of the cup part. Water is held on at least one surface of the cup part while processing the substrate. The water may be substantially grounded. With the disclosed apparatus, charged potential of the cup part generated by splashing of pure water can be suppressed, without greatly increasing the manufacturing cost of the substrate processing apparatus. As a result, it is possible to prevent electric discharge from occurring on the substrate due to induction charging of the substrate, in application of the processing liquid onto the substrate.
