摘要： An optical modulation device includes scanning electrodes and signal electrodes disposed opposite to and intersecting with the signal electrodes, and an optical modulation material disposed between the electrodes, a pixel being formed at each intersection of the electrodes and showing a contrast depending on the polarity of a voltage applied thereto. The device is driven by a method including, in a writing period for writing in all or prescribed pixels among the pixels on a selected scanning electrode, a first phase for applying a voltage of one polarity having an amplitude exceeding a first threshold voltage of the optical modulation material to the all or prescribed pixels, and a second phase for applying a voltage of the other polarity having an amplitude exceeding a second threshold voltage of the optical modulation material to a selected pixel and applying a voltage not exceeding the threshold voltages of the optical modulation material to the other pixels, respectively among the all or prescribed pixels. The maximum duration of a continually applied voltage of the same polarity applied to a pixel on a scanning electrode is 2.5 times the duration of the first phase in the writing period.

摘要： A transfer recording medium comprising a transfer recording layer is provided. The transfer recording layer causes an irreversible change in transfer characteristic when provided with plural kinds of energies such as heat, light and pressure energies. Such plural energies are applied to the transfer recording layer with at least one energy applied imagewise to provided a transferable portion or latent image portion in the transfer recording layer. The transferable portion is then transferred to a medium such as plain paper. The provision of plural kinds of energies aids in realization of high quality multi-color transfer image in a compact apparatus through functional separation of image formation and transfer operations. Further, even a multi-color image can be obtained through a single transfer step.
