Abstract:
A main subject is to provide a novel method for patterning of organic film which is suitable for manufacturing various organic devices.In a method for patterning of an organic film formed at a prescribed region, an organic covering layer forming step where an organic covering layer which includes a metal complex is formed on the organic film at a portion which corresponds to a portion where the organic film should be remained after patterning, and a plasma etching step where the organic film which is located at the portion of being not covered with the organic covering layer is etched out by irradiating the organic film with a plasma from above the organic covering layer after the organic covering layer forming step, are included.
Abstract:
A developer cartridge for supplying developer to a developer receiving unit has a lid by which a developer discharge opening is opened/closed. If the cartridge is unloaded from the developer receiving unit when the lid is not at a predetermined position where the developer discharge opening is completely closed, the lid is engaged by an engagement portion of the developer receiving unit and is moved to the predetermined position.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is provided with a device for forming an electrostatic image on an image bearing member. A developer develops a latent image formed on the image bearing member and includes a developing unit having a developer carrying member for carrying thereon and supplying a developer to the image bearing member. A moving member moves the developing unit between an operative position and a non-operative position away therefrom. A supporting member supports the developing unit for rotation about an axis, the supporting member rotatably supporting the developing unit at one side and supporting the developing unit at the other side for rotation and movement in a predetermined direction. An urging device urges the developing unit toward the image bearing member adjacent the other side, and a driver applies a driving force to the developer carrying member of the developing unit. When the developing unit is rotated about the axis and moved to the operating position by the moving member, and the driver is operated, the developing unit is urged toward image bearing member about the axis. The developer has a plurality of such developing units.
Abstract:
A connector for distribution equipment, comprising a cylindrical outer conductor fixed to a casing, a substantially cylindrical insulator inserted in the outer conductor, an inner resilient conductive member inserted and so retained in the insulator, porjections provided radially inward on an opening formed on a portion through which an internal space of the casing and an internal space of the outer conductor communicate with each other, and flexible legs provided projectingly further rearward of a rear end surface of the insulator and having claws formed radially outward on the nose portion thereof. The insulator is inserted in the outer conductor with the flexible legs bent radially inward, and, as a result of the returning of the legs at instant when the claws of the leg come in across the projection of the opening, the insulator can be mounted and so fixed in the outer conductor through engagement of the claws and the projections.
