An infrared radiation detecting device is constructed using a manufacturing method to increase the infrared radiation absorptance of the infrared radiation absorbing film. The infrared radiation detecting device has an infrared radiation absorbing film. In one embodiment, the infrared radiation absorbing film has a varying film thickness. The film thickness difference between the thickest points and the thinnest points and the spacing between the thickest points within the same plane are set to decrease the effective surface reflectance cause by the interference or scattering effects of the infrared radiation. Preferably, the film thickness differences between the thickest points and the thinnest points are equal to or greater than ¼ of the wavelength of the infrared radiation being measured, and the spacing between the thickest points within the same plane is shorter than the wavelength of the infrared radiation being measured.

摘要:
A liquid crystal shutter comprising a light source, a liquid crystal element including a pair of substrates and liquid crystal interposed between the substrates, a pair of polarizing plates formed on the outer surfaces of the substrates, and a heater for heating the liquid crystal element. At least one electrode is formed on the inner surface of either substrate, and an aligning orientating layer is formed on the electrode and the inner surface of the substrate. The polarizing axis of at least one of the polarizing plates extends either parallel or at right angles to the direction of the optical axis of a substrate having an optical anisotropy caused by a temperature gradient created over the liquid crystal element in a direction toward a periphery from a center of the liquid crystal element heated by the heater, and crossing at a certain degree with an arrangement direction of liquid crystal molecules oriented by the aligning orienting layer.
