  • Publication number: 20160033760
    Abstract: An electro-optical device includes a substrate, a mirror support pillar extending in a direction in which the pillar intersects with a surface of the substrate, and a mirror that is so disposed as to be distanced from the substrate and to be capable of being displaced with respect to the mirror support pillar. The mirror has a reflective metal film, and a reflection enhancing lamination film that covers a portion including a surface and a side surface of the reflective metal film.

  • Patent number: 8896901
    Abstract: An electro-optic device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an electro-optic layer which is interposed between the second substrate and the first substrate, and a first translucent film, a second translucent film, and a third translucent film which are disposed between the second substrate and the electro-optic layer and are sequentially formed from the second substrate, in which the refractive index of the second translucent film is larger than the refractive index of the second substrate, is smaller than the refractive index of the first translucent film, and is smaller than the third translucent film. A transmittance of incident light of the electro-optic device is intensified using refractive index matching, interference dimming, and anti-scattering.

  • Publication number: 20120035975
    Abstract: Creation of detailed work plan related to works of assembling a large scale structure, such as plant construction, is aided by enabling parallel works on plural components in a work area and avoiding spatial interference between works. A method for creating detailed work plans includes step of generating component groups by dividing plural components for large scale structure into work assignment units, step of assigning the respective component groups to one or more work teams assigned in an outline process plan, step of creating each detailed work plan by determining the execution sequences of detailed works on component-by-component basis in a corresponding work team, using work sequence restriction and a work priority rule, and step of avoiding work interference that revises the execution sequence of the detailed works such as to avoid overlapping between work spaces among the determined detailed works if spatial overlapping is present among detailed works.
