The substrate [I] is one selected from a polyolefin resin foam substrate, a urethane resin foam substrate, and an acrylic resin foam substrate. The polyester adhesive agent is made from a polyester adhesive agent composition [II] which contains a polyester resin (A) having a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 to 300,000, and having a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyvalent carboxylic acid compound containing an aromatic structure-containing compound in a proportion of not greater than 80 mol %. The adhesive tape is excellent in adherence between a polyester adhesive agent layer and a polyolefin resin foam substrate, a urethane resin foam substrate, or an acrylic resin foam substrate.

Abstract: A method for producing an organic electroluminescent panel having an organic layer formed by a coating step and a large aperture ratio includes: a first step of arraying and distributing a plurality of first electrodes on or above a substrate; a second step of forming stacking bodies each composed of a plurality of organic-emitting layer on the top face of each of the first electrodes; and a third step of forming organic electroluminescent elements by forming second electrodes respectively on or above the stacking bodies. In the first step, a conductive body having an angled edge portion forming a edge line surrounding the top face itself is used. The second step includes a step of supplying at least a liquid having a light-emitting organic material that is ejected from a nozzle and supplied in a fine flow shape to the organic layer on the top face.

Abstract: In conveying a print medium before and after a stop-unstable region in a printing apparatus, an image quality is improved while restricting a reduction of a throughput. Specifically a conveying amount is made smaller than a first conveying amount in a usual region. Thereby, the first conveying amount is maximized and the printing in the image region can be complemented by four times of scans after the conveyance of the conveying amount is completed.

Abstract: A method is provided, of manufacturing a material to be etched that can more preferably prevent a region to be etched from remaining as an un-etched region and reduce deviation of etched/un-etched regions. Patterning (a method of manufacturing a material to be etched) of a substrate 100, which is manufactured by performing etching through an opened region 10 by an etching mask M1, is performed by a first etching process and a second etching process that is performed after the first etching process. The second etching process is a process for etching a region including a region that is not etched by the first etching process. An un-etched region, which is the same as etched using a virtual etching mask M1?, is formed on the surface of an object to be etched by the first and second etching processes.

Abstract: An organic semiconductor device of preventing invasion of hydrogen or hydrogen ion into the device and having a long-term reliability, and a method of manufacturing thereof are provided by giving a hydrogen absorbing layer which absorbs hydrogen or hydrogen ion, and which does not release the absorbed hydrogen or hydrogen ion. The organic semiconductor device comprises at least a substrate 10, a first electrodell, an organic functional component 12, a second layer 13, and a hydrogen absorbing layer 14 which absorbs hydrogen or hydrogen ion, and which does not release the absorbed hydrogen or hydrogen ion.

Abstract: A main subject is to provide a novel method for patterning of organic film which is suitable for manufacturing various organic devices. In a method for patterning of an organic film formed at a prescribed region, an organic covering layer forming step where an organic covering layer which includes a metal complex is formed on the organic film at a portion which corresponds to a portion where the organic film should be remained after patterning, and a plasma etching step where the organic film which is located at the portion of being not covered with the organic covering layer is etched out by irradiating the organic film with a plasma from above the organic covering layer after the organic covering layer forming step, are included.

Abstract: A developer cartridge for supplying developer to a developer receiving unit has a lid by which a developer discharge opening is opened/closed. If the cartridge is unloaded from the developer receiving unit when the lid is not at a predetermined position where the developer discharge opening is completely closed, the lid is engaged by an engagement portion of the developer receiving unit and is moved to the predetermined position.

Abstract: A developer cartridge includes a container having a developer discharge opening, and a table formed around the discharge opening. A slidable plate-shaped lid is slidably mounted on the table, and the lid includes first and second lid portions which are interconnected to each other. A film member is attached to the table and is peelably adhered around the discharge opening. The film member includes a sealing portion for closing the discharge opening, and a second portion folded back over the sealing portion. The second portion extends through the gaps between the first and second lid portions. A grip is fixed to a free end of the second portion of the film member and is provided with an urging portion releasably engaged with a plate surface of the lid.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided with a device for forming an electrostatic image on an image bearing member. A developer develops a latent image formed on the image bearing member and includes a developing unit having a developer carrying member for carrying thereon and supplying a developer to the image bearing member. A moving member moves the developing unit between an operative position and a non-operative position away therefrom. A supporting member supports the developing unit for rotation about an axis, the supporting member rotatably supporting the developing unit at one side and supporting the developing unit at the other side for rotation and movement in a predetermined direction. An urging device urges the developing unit toward the image bearing member adjacent the other side, and a driver applies a driving force to the developer carrying member of the developing unit.
