A gas discharge panel capable of high-speed driving at a low drive voltage, while suppressing the occurrence of write errors in a write period, and a manufacturing method for the same. To achieve this, in the gas discharge panel of the present invention, a secondary gas formed from at least one of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen is induced into discharge spaces 30 evacuated until the residual gas pressure is 0.02 mPa or less, and an He—Xe or Ne—Xe rare gas (discharge gas) is induced into discharge spaces 30. The amount of the secondary gas included within discharge spaces 30 when, for example, carbon dioxide is included therein, is suitably set in terms of both a discharge starting voltage and an electron emission ability, so that the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide is in a range of 0.05 mPa to 0.5 mPa inclusive.

A technique capable of reducing threshold voltage and reducing high-temperature heat treatment after forming a gate electrode is provided. An n-type MIS transistor or a p-type MIS transistor is formed on an active region isolated by an element isolation region of a semiconductor substrate. In the n-type MIS transistor, a gate electrode is formed through a gate insulating film, and the gate electrode is composed of a hafnium silicide film. On the other hand, in the p-type MIS transistor, a gate electrode is formed through a gate insulating film, and the gate electrode is composed of a platinum silicide film. Also, the gate electrodes are formed after the activation annealing (heat treatment) for activating impurities implanted into a source region and a drain region.

A driving method for a spatial light modulator can provide bright image, images of high contrast and resolution with no persistence and instability, and can be used in a projection display system. The spatial light modulator is prepared by sandwiching a ferroelectric liquid crystal layer between a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate is prepared by sequentially laminating a transparent conductive electrode and a photoconductive layer with rectifying properties on a glass substrate. On the photoconductive layer, a reflective layer and an alignment layer for aligning a liquid crystal layer are then laminated. The second substrate is prepared by laminating a transparent conductive electrode and an alignment layer on a glass substrate. Alternating current voltage having a waveform of inconsistent cycles is applied to a section between the transparent conductive electrodes.

A developing method of the present invention has the steps of forming a uniform layer of a nonmagnetic one-component toner on a developer carrying sleeve with a developer blade; rotating an electrostatic latent image forming member and the developer carrying sleeve; and applying the toner on the developer carrying sleeve onto an electrostatic latent image formed on the electrostatic latent image forming member. The toner used herein is an encapsulated toner having a heat-fusible core material and a shell formed thereon. By using this development for a nonmagnetic one-component toner of the present invention, clear images free from background can be stably formed for a large number of copying.

摘要:
An optical laser frequency stabilizer which is simple, inexpensive, produces an unmodulated output, and a highly controlled oscillation frequency, wherein signals supplied to a master laser are modulated with a signal which is switched between four or more different levels to control the oscillation frequency of the master laser to the frequency of an absorption line; and wherein the beat frequency of signals from the master laser and a slave laser is counted by an up-down frequency counter in synchronism with the modulation signal and, in response to the obtained total count, the oscillation frequency of the slave laser is controlled to a frequency based on the center frequency of the oscillation of the master laser so that an unmodulated output is generated which is not affected by variations in the powers of the laser beams. The laser frequency can be offset from the frequency of the absorption line, and also the offset frequency can be varied continuously.
