  • Publication number: 20240155774
    Abstract: A wiring transfer plate for forming wiring to be transferred to another component includes: a base; a plating base material layer formed as a release layer on the base; an insulating layer covering the base with an opening above the plating base material layer; and a projecting structure formed on the insulating layer for forming, in an insulating layer of a component to which the wiring is to be transferred, a via hole for a via electrode.

  • Publication number: 20240153859
    Abstract: A wiring body disposed above a substrate including a conductor includes: a via electrode provided in a via hole formed in an insulating layer above the substrate and connected to the conductor through the via hole; and wiring provided above the substrate with the insulating layer interposed therebetween. The material or structure of a lower layer in the via electrode and the material or structure of a lower layer in the wiring are different.

  • Publication number: 20240147617
    Abstract: A wiring body disposed above a substrate including a conductor including: a via electrode provided in a via hole formed in an insulating layer above the substrate and connected to the conductor through the via hole; and wiring provided above the substrate with the insulating layer interposed therebetween. A lower layer included in the via electrode and located above the insulating layer and a lower layer included in the wiring include the same material.

  • Publication number: 20240145374
    Abstract: A wiring body disposed above a substrate including a conductor includes: a via electrode provided in a via hole formed in an insulating layer above the substrate and connected to the conductor through the via hole; and wiring provided above the substrate with the insulating layer interposed therebetween. The via electrode includes: a seed layer formed along an inner surface of the insulating layer from above the conductor in the via hole; a via electrode body layer formed to be located above the seed layer and fill the via hole; and an adhesion layer formed between the seed layer and the inner surface of the insulating layer in the via hole.

  • Patent number: 8757747
    Abstract: When power is turned “ON”, power starts to be supplied to a reading unit and a display unit so that images stored in a storage unit can be displayed, and when the images are instructed to be displayed, a viewing system screen is displayed. The power starts to be supplied to an image forming mechanism at a timing when an instruction for switching the viewing system screen to a formation screen, and when an instruction for forming the image being displayed on the formation screen is provided, the image is formed by the image forming mechanism. In this manner, it is possible to prevent wasteful power consumption caused when the power is supplied to the image forming mechanism while the image is displayed on the viewing system screen.

  • Patent number: 8282187
    Abstract: A liquid discharging apparatus discharges liquid onto a target, thereby forming dots. The apparatus includes a discharge head, a capping unit for moisturizing, a lifting and lowering unit, and a lid member. The discharge head has a discharge surface from which liquid is discharged. The capping unit is disposed substantially just below the discharge head when the discharge head is located at a predetermined reference position. The capping unit has an opening that comes into contact with the discharge head and seals the discharge surface. The lifting and lowering unit lifts and lowers the capping unit, thereby bringing the capping unit into contact with the discharge head and taking the capping unit out of contact with the discharge head. The lid member rotates around a rotating shaft using the lifting and lowering of the capping unit, thereby opening and closing the opening of the capping unit.

  • Patent number: 8152263
    Abstract: When the number of sheets that have been printed has reached the number of sheets guaranteed for printing, a number representing a upper limit of the number of sheets that can be printed, an ink jet printer declines to perform printing with an ink cartridge for which the number of sheets guaranteed for printing has been set, but when the number of sheets printed has not reached the number of sheets guaranteed for printing, performs printing of an image onto a recording sheet S by using the ink cartridge, the ink jet printer determining the number of sheets remaining N on the basis of the number of sheets printed that have been printed, and displaying on a display unit 82 the number of sheets remaining information display screen 80 incorporating a number of sheets remaining display unit 80b that causes visual recognition of a relation between the number of sheets guaranteed for printing and the number of sheets remaining.

  • Publication number: 20120063791
    Abstract: The printing apparatus includes a transport mechanism that feeds the recording medium to a printing position along a transport route, a carriage disposed so as to oppose the recording medium placed on the printing position, and a driving unit that drives the carriage to reciprocate in a main scanning direction different from the transport direction of the recording medium. The carriage moves when the front edge of the recording medium reaches a predetermined position on the transport route, and jam detection is performed by deciding whether the recording medium is jammed, on the basis of a physical amount that changes with the movement of the carriage.
