摘要:
A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substrates; an alignment film comprising a polyimide which has a fluorine-containing substituent in its carboxylic acid-originated moiety, disposed on at least one of the pair of substrates and subjected to an aligning treatment; and a chiral smectic liquid crystal disposed between the pair of substrates in an alignment state where its helical structure is suppressed. The chiral smectic liquid crystal is placed in an alignment state of forming an aligned region occupying an area which is at least 95% of the effective display region of the liquid crystal device. The aligned region includes a plurality of unidirectionally bent layers each organized by plural liquid crystal molecules in chiral smectic phase.

摘要:
A liquid crystal device is formed by applying an alignment film comprising a fluorine-containing polyimide having a fluorine-containing substituent in its moiety originated from a diamine on at least one of a pair of substrates sandwiching a chiral smectic liquid crystal. Preferably, the respective substrates are provided with such florine-containing polyimide alignment films which have been rubbed in directions which are substantially parallel with each other and identical to each other or which intersect each other at a small counter-clockwise intersection angle. The liquid crystal device thus formed shows a high contrast display, particularly by multiplexing drive, free from after-image because of quick responsiveness.

A liquid crystal device includes: a pair of substrates disposed spaced apart from each other, a liquid crystal disposed between the substrates and a plurality of adhesive members bonding the substrates. The adhesive members are dispersed along the inner surfaces of the substrates at a rate of 100 members/mm.sup.2 or less with an average adhesion area per member of 1.25.times.10.sup.-3 mm.sup.2 or less so as to satisfy the relationship of:S.sub.A /S.sub.B =2.5.times.10.sup.-2 -1.0%,wherein S.sub.A denotes the total area of adhesion given by the adhesive members and S.sub.B denotes the area of display given by the liquid crystal device. Spacer members may be further disposed between the substrates. The spacer members may preferably be in the form of rods having a length in the range of 1 to 25 .mu.m.
摘要:
A recording medium comprising on a base material an ink-receiving layer containing an alumina hydrate, said ink-receiving layer being formed by applying a coating liquid containing said alumina hydrate to said base material followed by drying to form a layer to be said ink-receiving layer, swelling said layer to be said ink-receiving layer again, and pressing the swollen layer to a heated mirror-finish drum for drying, the glossiness of the surface of the recording medium on the side of the ink-receiving layer as measured at 20° being 20% or more.
