Abstract: This aims to provide a press process for drawing a plate material into a predetermined shape. This press process performs a first unwrinkling treatment and a second unwrinkling treatment sequentially for unwrinkling the material. Between these first and second unwrinkling treatments, an introduction for deforming the material is made so that the portion of the material on the side to be subjected to the second unwrinkling treatment may be positioned on the side of a drawing direction with respect to the portion subjected to the first unwrinkling treatment. This first unwrinkling treatment is made on such a portion to be unwrinkled in the material as is located on the side of a larger drawing depth for the predetermined shape. On the other hand, the second unwrinkling treatment is made on such a portion to be unwrinkled as is located on the side of a smaller drawing depth.

Abstract: The electronic device includes a substrate, a first electrode formed over a surface of the substrate, a second electrode located on an opposite side of the first electrode from the substrate so as to face the first electrode, and a functional layer interposed between the first electrode and second electrode and formed by means of anodizing a first polycrystalline semiconductor layer in an electrolysis solution so as to contain a plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals. The electronic device further includes a second polycrystalline semiconductor layer interposed between the first electrode and the functional layer so as to be in close contact with the functional layer. The second polycrystalline semiconductor layer has an anodic oxidization rate in the electrolysis solution lower than that of the first polycrystalline semiconductor layer so as to function as a stop layer for exclusively anodizing the first polycrystalline semiconductor layer.
