A sound absorbing material which comprises a base layer 1 having a porosity of 5 to 50% by volume and a decorative layer 3 having a porosity of 5 to 50% by volume integrally, and which is obtained by sprinkling inorganic particles 4 containing colored particles in an amount of at least 1% by volume which are coated with a weather-resistant transparent resin so as to form a first particle layer which is to form the decorative layer 3 in the sound absorbing material, sprinkling uncolored inorganic lightweight particles 2 which are coated with a thermosetting resin on the first particle layer so as to form a second particle layer which is to form the base layer 1 in the sound absorbing material, and carrying out thermal compression integral molding of the first particle layer and the second particle layer simultaneously, is lightweight and inexpensive, and is provided with an attractive external stone-grain-like appearance, without impairing the sound absorbing ability of the material. In addition, by placing a reinforcing layer material on the top surface, bottom surface, or both surfaces of the second particle layer, and carrying out thermal compression integral molding of the first particle layer, the second particle layer, and the reinforcing layer material(s) simultaneously, it is possible to provide a sound absorbing material which is provided with rigidity to enable the material to be free-standing, without impairing the above advantages and the sound absorbing ability of the material.

A diaphragm for use in a speaker is manufactured using a plurality of thin wooden boards having flat rectangular shapes. The thin wooden boards are impregnated with a resin; then, a plurality of cutouts, which are elongated along wooden fiber directions or which are elongated in directions crossing wooden fiber directions, are formed in the thin wooden boards. Instead of the cutouts, it is possible to form a plurality of folded portions elongated in directions crossing wooden fiber directions. The thin wooden boards are integrally laminated together in such a way that the wooden fiber directions thereof mutually cross with a prescribed angle therebetween. The thin wooden boards integrally laminated together are subjected to thermal pressing so as to form a wooden vibrator serving as the diaphragm. Thus, it is possible to easily produce the diaphragm having a high strength and superior acoustic characteristics without causing defects.

A surface acoustic wave device (e.g., filter or convolver) is designed to increase an electromechanical coupling factor K2 and is basically configured by a substrate, a buffer layer, a piezoelectric layer and an electrode layer. Herein, the substrate is made of a bulk material (e.g., SrTiO3), which allows growth of a perovskite compound crystal being expressed by a general chemical formula of SrZO3 (where Z denotes an element such as Zr and Sn whose valence is 4). The buffer layer is formed on the substrate and is made of the perovskite compound crystal (e.g., SrZrO3, SrSnO3), which has good lattice matching with KNbO3. The piezoelectric layer is made of a KNbO3 single crystal and is formed on the buffer layer with a thickness of 500 nm or so. The electrode layer is formed on or below the piezoelectric layer. An interdigital transducer consisting of input and output electrodes is formed by patterning using photolithography technique being effected on the electrode layer, which is made of a metal material (e.g., Al). In addition, it is possible to form a temperature stabilization layer between the piezoelectric layer and electrode layer. The temperature stabilization layer is made of a material (SiO2) having a temperature coefficient reverse to a temperature coefficient of the piezoelectric layer so as to ease distortion being caused to occur due to differences in thermal expansion between the piezoelectric layer and electrode layer. Incidentally, the temperature stabilization layer has a prescribed thickness, which is approximately 1000 nm.
摘要:
In construction of a liquid crystal display including an alignment film and generally used for video display panels such as television sets, the orientation wafer is given in the form of a porous alumina layer. Substantially vertical molecular orientation is resulted from penetration of liquid crystal molecules into pores in the alignment film. Optical application of rubbing process in production enables free adjustment of the value of pretilt angle. Good reproduction and stability is assured even in the case of large fields of vision.
