摘要:
4-Cyanocoumarin derivatives which have a distinct sensitivity to visible light, distinct luminescent ability, and satisfactory applicability for photochemical polymerization, dye lasers, and organic electroluminescent elements. Since most of the derivatives have a fluorescent maximum wavelength of 600 to 650 nm, particularly, 610 to 630 nm, they are extremely useful as luminescent agents for organic EL elements which emit visible light in a red-color region, and can be quite useful as luminescent agents in organic EL elements and laser-active substances in dye lasers, as well as luminous bodies as lighting sources for lighting devices, and information displays for visually displaying information.

In an X-ray imaging apparatus, unwanted electron charges caused by pulsatory X-ray trailing edges are eliminated from an X-ray image signal of a biological body under medical examination. The X-ray imaging apparatus comprises: an X-ray generator for generating a plurality of pulsatory X-ray beams; an X-ray controlling unit for supplying an X-ray projection controlling signal to the X-ray generator in order to project an X-ray pulse beam having a predetermined pulse width to a biological body under medical examination from the X-ray generator, thereby producing an X-ray image of the biological body under medical examination; an optical converter for converting the X-ray image into a corresponding optical X-ray image signal of the biological body under medical examination; an imaging unit for imaging the optical X-ray image signal derived from the optical converter to store the imaged optical X-ray image signal as electron charges therein; a driving unit for driving the imaging unit in such a manner that only electron charges produced while projecting the X-ray pulse having the predetermined pulse width to the biological body in response to the X-ray projection controlling signal, are read out as an effective X-ray image signal of the biological body under medical examination; and, a display unit for displaying thereon an effective X-ray image of the biological body under medical examination in response to the effective X-ray image signal.

An organic thin film obtained by spreading an organic substance comprising a polymer on a liquid surface, and compressing the spread substance unidirectionally or in two directions facing each other, in which organic thin film the principal chain of said polymer in the surface of the film has been oriented perpendicularly to the direction of the compression, and a method for producing the same. A liquid crystal display device comprising substrates, a polarizer, electrodes at least one of which is transparent, if necessary semiconductor substrates at least one of which is transparent, an orientation-controlling film and a liquid crystal layer, among which at least one of the polarizer, electrode, semiconductor substrate, orientation-controlling film and liquid crystal layer comprises an organic thin film. The orientation-controlling film may be an organic thin film in which the film-forming molecules have been uniformly oriented in a particular direction in the surface of the film. The present invention provides an oriented organic thin film, a liquid crystal display device with the oriented organic thin film and a thin and flexible liquid crystal display device.

An optical modulating element has a core layer and first and second cladding layers sandwiching the core layer. The core layer is made of one or semiconductors belonging to a point group 43m or 42m, and has TM.sub.00 and TE.sub.00 propagation modes. The direction of light of said TM.sub.00 and TE.sub.00 propagation modes is parallel to the [110] or [-110] direction of crystal orientation. The change amount of an index of refraction of the core layer caused by the application of an electric field to the core layer in the direction parallel to the [001] direction is different for the two propagation modes.

In an optical recording method which utilizes hole burning, a plurality of sorts of light absorption centers having different properties are caused to coexist or to exist in the form of layers, thereby to remove the problem that, although the multiplicity of recording is high, the spacial recording density is low, so the overall recording density is low. Accordingly, the present invention can provide an optical recording method of very high recording density.
摘要:
A method for producing a polarizer patterned with a plural number of portions having a polarizing ability or direction of polarization comprising the first step of producing a surface oriented in a pre-determined direction on a substrate, the second step of producing a polymerizable molecular layer which comprises polymerizable molecules on the above surface, the third step of polymerizing the molecules in said polymerizable molecular layer into a desired pattern and the fourth step of removing the unpolymerized portion of said polymerizable molecular layer. For example, the following procedure is repeated on one surface of a substrate to be given a polarizing ability: (1) An organic thin film uniformly oriented in a particular direction is produced by the Langmuir-Blodgett method, (2) a polymerizable molecular layer is produced on the above thin film, (3) the molecules in the polymerizable molecular layer is polymerized into a desired pattern and (4) the portion left unpolymerized of the polymerizable molecular layer is removed. By this treatment, a polarizer having as many orientation directions as the number of repetitions is obtained. The orientational order can also be given by rubbing in place of the Langmuir-Blodgett method.
