  • Publication number: 20170069694
    Abstract: An organic EL display panel including: a pair of first banks, second banks, and functional layers. The first banks have a greater length in a first direction than in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and have a gap therebetween. The second banks span the gap and are disposed at intervals along the first direction. The functional layers are disposed within respective ones of recesses defined by the first banks and the second banks and each correspond to at least a portion of an organic EL element. Each of the second banks has a groove at an upper surface thereof. The groove connects recesses adjacent to each other with the second bank therebetween and has a width, along the second direction, smaller than a width of the adjacent recesses along the second direction and within an inclusive range from 2 ?m to 6 ?m.

  • Patent number: 8294365
    Abstract: A plasma display panel has a front substrate, a rear substrate, and a phosphor layer. The front substrate has a dielectric layer formed so as to cover a plurality of display electrodes disposed on a substrate, and a protective layer formed on the dielectric layer. The rear substrate is faced to the front substrate so as to form discharge space, has data electrodes in the direction intersecting with the display electrodes, and has barrier ribs for partitioning the discharge space. The phosphor layer is formed by applying phosphor ink that is made of a phosphor material and dispersant between the barrier ribs of the rear substrate. Nano-particles with a diameter of a range of 1 nm to 100 nm inclusive, or a solvent having an affinity for the dispersant of the phosphor ink is applied to the surfaces of the barrier ribs, and then the phosphor ink is applied to them, thereby forming the phosphor layer.

  • Patent number: 7304822
    Abstract: In a magnetic head, a multilayer film is disposed, the multilayer film including metal magnetic films and non-magnetic films that are alternately laminated, and a boundary between the multilayer film and a magnetic oxide substrate or a non-magnetic substrate on which the multilayer film is to be formed is parallel with a gap section at a surface of the magnetic head for sliding with respect to a magnetic recording medium. The metal magnetic films constituting the multilayer film have two or more types of thickness, or the metal magnetic films constituting the multilayer film have a uniform thickness, and the uniform thickness t satisfies t<v×cos?/fmax, where v denotes a relative speed of the head to the recording medium, fmax denotes an upper limit of frequencies to be used and ? denotes an azimuth angle. With this configuration, a magnetic head having a suppressed pseudo signal and reduced noise can be provided, and a magnetic recording/reproducing device incorporating this magnetic head can be provided.
