A transfer mechanism includes: a transfer unit having a transfer belt; and a belt contact and separation assembly for bringing the transfer belt into, and separating it away from, an electrostatic latent image support by shifting the position of the transfer unit. The belt contact and separation assembly includes:a multiple number of transfer unit shifters that abut the transfer unit and shift the position of the transfer unit; a multiple number of linkage members that link with the plural transfer unit shifters, correspondingly; an elastic member for coupling the plural linkage members; and a driver for actuating the transfer unit shifters through the linkage members.

An image recording apparatus includes a first pullout unit, a second pullout unit, and a first lock mechanism. The first unit is movable along a first axis between a first retracted position where the first unit is fully retracted in the apparatus, and a first exposed position where at least one side surface thereof is fully exposed to the front of the apparatus. The second unit is movable along a second axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis, between a second retracted position where the second unit is fully retracted in the first unit, and a second exposed position where the second unit is exposed to a side of the side surface of the first unit. The first lock mechanism prevents movement of the second unit from the second retracted position to the second exposed position when the first unit is not in the first exposed position.

In each of sub-decoding circuits at a first stage provided for a plurality of output candidates arranged adjacently, for selecting corresponding output candidates in accordance with a bit of multibit data for transmission to subsequent stage sub-decoding circuits, unit decoders are arranged in parallel in a direction perpendicular to an arranging direction of the output candidates. A size in a vertical direction along which reference voltages of the output candidates of a decoding circuit are arranged can be reduced without increasing a size in a horizontal direction.

A timer clocks and accumulates time periods during each of which a recording sheet is transported or transfer bias is applied as transfer execution periods. When the accumulated value reaches a predetermined value, the timer outputs a time-up signal to a CPU and then clears the accumulated value. The CPU executes a cleaning operation at the time the time-up signal is inputted from the timer. In the cleaning operation, the CPU causes a high-voltage power source to apply cleaning bias to a transfer electrode roller while causing a high-voltage power source to apply delivery bias to an auxiliary cleaning roller, in order to return toner attracted to the auxiliary cleaning roller to a photosensitive drum via a transfer belt.

A method of manufacturing a semitransparent display device includes the steps of forming a light shield film over a transparent display region on a transparent substrate, applying a photosensitive organic film over the transparent substrate coated with the light shield film, exposing and developing the photosensitive organic film to form a through hole extending through the photosensitive organic film in the transparent display region, removing the light shield film exposed through the through hole after forming the through hole, and forming a reflective film above the photosensitive organic film to form a reflective display region. Thereby, such a situation can be prevented that light reflected by a stage after passing through a TFT array substrate causes visible irregularities in thickness of an organic flattening film during exposure processing for forming the organic flattening film.

An image forming apparatus includes an endless belt stretched over a plurality of rollers. The apparatus also includes a potential detecting device for detecting a potential of the endless belt. The detecting device is positioned downstream, along a sheet transport path, of a transfer position where the belt has direct contact with the image bearing member. The apparatus further includes a transferring member for transferring a toner image formed on the image bearing member to a sheet. An image forming process is halted when the potential detecting device does not detect a change in potential caused by presence of a sheet on the endless belt.

An image transfer device includes an image transfer electrode roller which is disposed face to face with a photosensitive drum with a printing sheet passing between the image transfer electrode roller and the photosensitive drum. The image transfer device is structured such that the image transfer electrode roller can be shifted back and forth along a transport direction of the printing sheet. A voltage is applied to the image transfer electrode roller to create an image transfer electric field between the image transfer electrode roller and the photosensitive drum for transferring a toner image formed on the photosensitive drum onto the printing sheet. The image transfer electrode roller is brought to one of different positions along a transport direction of the printing sheet selected according to information on properties of the printing sheet and transfers the toner image onto the printing sheet at that position.

An information inconsistency judgment apparatus, an information inconsistency judgment method, and a medium recorded with an information inconsistency judgment program, for judging as to whether an inconsistency has occurred in a transmitted information, based on an object at a higher level of the object to be operated, and on the registered object. An information inconsistency correction apparatus, an information inconsistency correction method, and a medium recorded with an information inconsistency correction program, for correcting the registered object based on an operational information, when it is judged that an inconsistency has occurred in the transmitted information.
摘要:
A pixel electrode and a line for a storage capacitor are sandwiched by first and second protecting films so as to position them in a different plane from a gate electrode and source/drain lines. An insulating film for a storage capacitor and the second protecting film remain at a crossing of the source line and a gate line, but part of them on a TFT is removed, when a pattern of the removal is at least partially deviated from a pattern of a contact hole in the first protecting film directly covering a polycrystalline Si film over the TFT, so that a short-circuit between lines and a breaking of the lines because of a level difference of film layers. Thus, an occurance of failure because of the short-circuit between lines is inhibited, and failure in the lines is reduced by reducing the breaking of the source line and/or the drain line.
