摘要:
The present invention provides a method for controlling the shrinkage of formed ceramic bodies, by which it is possible to suppress fluctuation of the shrinkage of formed ceramic bodies and to cause the shrinkage to approximate the target rate. The method comprises controlling the shrinkage of formed ceramic bodies in manufacturing ceramic products by a predetermined manufacturing process from ceramic powder ground by a dry-type ball mill. Such control can be achieved by determining a correlation between the change in the amount of the ground ceramic powder taken out from the dry-type ball mill with elapse time and the shrinkage during firing of the formed ceramic body, and thereafter adjusting the manufacturing conditions based on the previously-determined conditions for the above-mentioned manufacturing process and the correlation with respect to the shrinkage obtained.

An actuator element has a plate member, a piezoelectric/electrostrictive body disposed in facing, relation to the plate member, and a beam disposed between the plate member and the piezoelectric/electrostrictive body and fixing the piezoelectric/electrostrictive body to the plate member. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive body has a piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer, an upper electrode formed on a surface of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer which faces the plate member, and a lower electrode formed on a surface of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer which is opposite to the surface thereof facing the plate member. When an electric field is applied to the upper electrode and the lower electrode, a portion of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive body is displaced toward or away from the plate member.

An electron emitter includes a lower electrode formed on a glass substrate, an emitter section made of dielectric film formed on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed on the emitter section. A drive voltage for electron emission is applied between the upper electrode and the lower electrode. At least the upper electrode has a plurality of through regions through which the emitter section is exposed. The upper electrode has a surface which faces the emitter section in peripheral portions of the through regions and which is spaced from the emitter section.

A light source has a light emission section comprising a two-dimensional array of electron emitters and a drive circuit for applying a drive voltage to each of the electron emitters of the light emission section. The drive circuit applies the drive voltage between upper and lower electrodes of each of the electron emitters based on a control signal representative of turn-on/turn-off from an external source (a turn-on/turn-off switch or the like), for thereby controlling each of the electron emitters. Each of the electron emitters has a plate-like emitter, an upper electrode disposed on a face side of the emitter, and a lower electrode disposed on a reverse side of the emitter.

An adhesion-suppressing agent is added or applied to a picture element assembly precursor which is a precursor of a picture element assembly. Accordingly, when the hardening is performed while allowing the picture element assembly precursor to make pressed contact with an optical waveguide plate, the picture element assembly precursor is prevented from adhesion to the optical waveguide plate. Further, the gap between the picture element assembly and the optical waveguide plate is narrowed by allowing the adhesion-suppressing agent to intervene. Therefore, when a display device is in the light emission state, the picture element assembly reliably makes pressed contact with the optical waveguide plate. Further, owing to the adhesion-suppressing agent, the mutual adhesion between the picture element assembly and the optical waveguide plate is remarkably suppressed when the display device is used. Preferred examples of the adhesion-suppressing agent include silicone-based substances.

Disclosed is a display device comprising an optical waveguide plate 12 for introducing light 10 thereinto; an actuator substrate 18 provided opposingly to one plate surface of the optical waveguide plate 12 and arranged with actuator elements 14 of a number corresponding to a large number of pixels; a pixel structure 102 formed on each of the actuator elements 14 of the actuator substrate 18; and a crosspiece 70 formed at a portion other than the pixel structure 102 between the optical waveguide plate 12 and the actuator substrate 18. Accordingly, it is easy to form a gap between the optical waveguide plate and the pixel structure. Further, the gap can be formed uniformly for all of the pixels.
