Abstract: An apparatus for depositing and aligning an amorphous film in a single step, a method of forming an aligned film on a substrate in a single step by combining the deposition and alignment of an alignment layer into a single-step using ion beam processing and an amorphous film having an aligned atomic structure prepared by a method in which an aligned film is deposited and aligned in a single step are provided. The film is deposited and aligned in a single step by bombarding a substrate with an ion beam at a designated incident angle to simultaneously (a) deposit the film onto the substrate and (b) arrange an atomic structure of the film in at least one predetermined aligned direction.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method of forming an aligned film on a substrate. The film is deposited and aligned in a single step by a method comprising the step of bombarding a substrate with an ion beam at a designated incident angle to simultaneously (a) deposit the film onto the substrate and (b) arrange an atomic structure of the film in at least one predetermined aligned direction.

Abstract: Blue bright spots occurring when using overhead projectors with liquid crystal modules (LCDs) are prevented by providing intercepting filter in the liquid crystal module for modifying light reaching the thin film transistors of the LCDs in the portion of the spectrum absorbed by and passing through the protection layer formed on the TFT. In the case where protection layer on the TFT is formed of an amorphous silicon layer, the intercepting filter has the characteristic of modifying the light having wavelengths of 380 nm to 500 nm. The intercepting filter being a color filter of other than blue is formed just above the TFT at least part of which is related to a cell of blue.
