  • Patent number: 8932666
    Abstract: A method is for producing an active matrix organic EL display element by an inkjet method to eject droplets (12) of a liquid via an ejection hole of a nozzle so as to form an organic EL layer. The liquid contains an organic EL layer material. An electrostatic attraction type inkjet apparatus (15) is used whose ejection hole (1b) has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the droplets (12). The droplets are ejected from the nozzle of the electrostatic attraction type inkjet apparatus (15) in such a manner that each of the droplets is 1 pl or less in amount. With this arrangement, the landed droplet dries quickly, and movement of the landed droplet is restricted. This makes it possible to form an organic EL layer accurately with low cost.

  • Patent number: 8088495
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wiring material for forming wiring on a substrate by causing coalescence of conductive particles through heating, and including a binder layer and a wiring layer. The binder layer contains metal particles and having a binder function to be adhered to the substrate; and the wiring layer contains metal particles and laminated on the binder layer. The metal particles of the binder layer and the metal particles of the wiring layer are in contact with each other. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a wiring material allowing use of a larger variety of materials, while also ensuring low resistance of wiring and improvement of adhesion between the wiring and the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6600697
    Abstract: The magnetic head of the present invention includes a magnetic body in the form of a flat plate, and a magnetic pole in the form of a pillar for applying a magnetic field to a recording medium, which is provided to rise on a portion of the magnetic body which is offset in one direction from a center of the magnetic body, and is provided with a coil around its outer periphery. Thus, the magnetic head has a core of a raised shape which is composed of the pillar-shaped magnetic pole being attached to the magnetic body in the form of a flat plate, making it possible to provide a heat capacity and a heat radiation area required for the core and the magnetic body, respectively, thus adapting to high frequencies.

  • Patent number: 6526001
    Abstract: A magnetic head of the present invention is to switch a direction of magnetic fields applied to a heated portion in a recording region in accordance with recording information. The magnetic head is composed of a single magnetic pole in a pillar shape and a coil. The magnetic pole is provided on a magnetic base, with one end surface of the magnetic pole brought into contact with the magnetic base. The coil, wound around the magnetic pole, is provided for generating the foregoing magnetic fields. The foregoing arrangement enables suppression of heat generation at the magnetic head, thereby allowing the recording frequency to be set higher, as well as improving the recording rate.
