  • Publication number: 20250116920
    Abstract: An electroconductive-film-coated substrate includes a glass substrate and an electroconductive film disposed on one main surface of the glass substrate. The electroconductive film has an inclined portion in a peripheral edge. A distance from a position in the inclined portion where a thickness of the electroconductive film is 10% of a film thickness of a center of the electroconductive film to an edge end of the glass substrate is 3.00 mm or less. A distance from an end of the inclined portion to the edge end of the glass substrate is longer than 0.00 mm.

  • Patent number: 6493525
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus of the present invention is capable of protecting a sheet or recording medium from defective fixation and creases and enhancing image quality. These advantages are achievable even when the operator of the apparatus switches the kind of sheets to use or selects, e.g., a special sheet needing a particular fixing condition.
