A shoe press belt for the shoe press of a paper making machine includes first and second resin layers and a base layer. Resin is coated and cured on the polished surface of a cylindrical mandrel to form the first resin layer endlessly. An inner layer of the base layer is formed by spirally winding a relatively narrower belt shaped mesh with warp threads running in the major direction of the belt and weft threads running perpendicular thereto, with the weft threads against the outer surface of the first resin layer, and without overlapping the end edges of the belt-shaped mesh. An outer layer of the base layer is formed by inserting the mandrel, with the first resin layer and the belt-shaped mesh layer applied, into a tubular mesh, and pulling the ends of the tubular mesh apart, so as to reduce its diameter and press it radially against the belt-shaped mesh layer. A second resin layer is then applied over the base layer and impregnates the base layer down to the outer surface of the first resin layer, so that the base layer is included within the second resin layer when the second resin layer is cured.

A scanning exposure apparatus which exposes a substrate is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an illumination system configured to illuminate an illumination region of an original, a projection optical system configured to project a pattern of the original onto the substrate, and a stop configured to shield a flare generating component of flare light which travels from the projection optical system to the substrate, and to pass the remaining component of the flare light. An aperture of the stop has a shape different from a shape of the illumination region, and the aperture of the stop includes a portion whose dimension in a first direction parallel to a scanning direction of the substrate changes in accordance with a distance from the center of the aperture in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

A mounting mechanism is provided for the light-discharging-end portion of an optical fiber onto an optical display panel wherein the fiber end is disposed within a threaded body that is inserted through the display panel and held in place by a nut. Alternatively, the nut can be formed of transparent light-diffusing material and configured to completely enclose the end of the thread body that projects out beyond the display panel to diffuse the light emanating therefrom.
