Abstract: By plates (31, 32) having different colors, an edge is formed in the vertical direction along the boundary between the plates (31, 32). Further, as materials of the plates (31, 32), a material which primarily transmits ultraviolet light having a wavelength of about 370 nm and a material which primarily transmits green light having a wavelength of about 520 nm are used. This constitution makes an attraction device (10) capable of attracting insect pests more efficiently as compared to a case where a light source such as a mercury lamp which emits a large amount of light having a wavelength of 300 to 600 nm or an LED which emits a large amount of light having a relatively short wavelength is used.

Abstract: Provided is a technique for fabricating a novel thin membrane with a starting material such as a biocompatible compound that is not easily processible into a membrane, particularly a technique for fabricating a novel thin membrane of a composition that is gradually polymerized from a membrane surface into the membrane in the cross sectional direction of the membrane, and having, for example, different structures on the front and back of the membrane. The technique includes the steps of preparing a solution of a starting material compound; forming a thin membrane of the solution on a base material surface; and forming the organic polymer thin membrane through a polymerization reaction caused by irradiating the exposed surface of the thin membrane with a plasma or an electron beam.
