Abstract: An image formed by an arbitrary method, can be reproduced on an object (to which image transfer is performed) having a three-dimensional arcuated surface, e.g., a cylindrical object. An original plate sheet is prepared by forming an image on a transparent sheet by using an ink containing carbon. A transfer ink sheet having a hot-melt ink layer formed on its one surface and a reflecting layer formed on its other surface is placed on an object to which image transfer is performed. A cushion member having transparency is placed on the transfer ink sheet, and a transparent plate is stacked on the cushion member. When the transparent plate is urged against the object side, the cushion member is compressed. As a result, the original plate sheet is deformed along the outer surface shape of the object and is brought into tight contact therewith. A flash lamp is turned on in this state. An image portion absorbs infrared rays emitted from the flash to generate heat.

Abstract: A miniature liquid crystal display panel device comprises a plurality of column and row terminals. On a squarish frame holder is formed an opening for a light passage in the middle of an enclosing wall and a support portion for mounting the display panel. First and second IC units each including a flexible wiring film and an IC chip are disposed outside the enclosing wall of the holder. A flexible circuit connector for respectively connecting first and second IC units to a control circuit is wound around the outside of the holder. A light source for projecting the display panel is disposed opposite to the display panel in the rear side of the device.
