It is an object of the invention to provide a method for producing a combined optical film that includes opposing the end faces of a plurality of optical films to one another and can narrow the gap between the opposed end faces. A method for producing a combined optical film comprising a plurality of optical films each having at least one end face at which the optical films are opposed to one another, comprising the steps of: (1) opposing the end faces of the optical films to one another with a gap provided therebetween; (2) bonding a first seal material to the opposed portions of the optical films on a first side of each optical film to join the optical films; (3) bending the joined opposed portions of the optical films such that the joined opposed portions become concave on a second side of each optical film where the first seal material is not bonded and such that the gap is narrowed on the second side; (4) bonding a second seal material to the opposed portions on the second side, while the joined optical films are bent such that the gap is narrowed on the second side; and (5) cancelling the bending of the joined optical films to make them flat.

A packing device includes a base frame, a rear frame and a front pillar. Glass plates (G) are disposed on the base frame with the glass plates leaned against the rear frame. The glass plates (G) are held by a pressing device with the glass plates (G) pressed toward the rear frame. The pressing device has pressing members to be arranged along front both sides of the glass plates (G), and locking members each removably disposed between the pressing member and the front pillar. The locking member disposed between the front pillar and the pressing member is pressed downwardly along the front pillar to be disposed between the front pillar and the pressing member with the locking member engaged therebetween, whereby the pressing member presses a front surface of the glass plates (G). According to this packing device, packing and unpacking operations of glass plates (G) can be simply and assuredly performed while attaining structural simplification and cost reduction.

The present invention provides an image forming apparatus which, when switching operation from color image forming operation to monochromatic image forming operation, forms a monochromatic image on each of a prescribed number of sheets by stopping a part of the functions of yellow, magenta and cyan image forming sections of the color image forming operation, and thereafter, forms a monochromatic image only with a black-only image forming section, thereby permitting extension of service life of the image forming sections, while improving the productivity.

A radio frequency IC includes a PLL circuit and prevents a PLL loop from being easily unlocked upon fluctuation of VCO oscillation frequencies due to a change in temperature. The PLL loop includes a VCO capable of switching oscillation frequency bands, a variable frequency divider, a phase comparison circuit, and a loop filter. A switching switch can apply one of plural predetermined set voltages to the VCO in place of a voltage of the loop filter in an open state in which the loop filter is disconnected from the VCO. The radio frequency IC als has a decision circuit that decides whether the phase of output of the variable frequency divider is ahead of or lags behind that of a reference signal of a predetermined frequency, and an automatic band switching circuit that generates a signal for switching VCO frequency bands, based on output of the decision circuit.

A release agent comprising (A) an olefin-based elastomer having a density of not less than 0.855 g/cc and less than 0.868 g/cc, and (B) an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer having a density of from 0.868 g/cc to 0.970 g/cc as main components, wherein the difference in average density between the components (A) and (B) is not less than 0.005 g/cc and the mixing weight ratio of the component (A) to the component (B) is from 90:10 to 10:90. Such a release agent contains no silicone-based components generating undesired gasses, can exhibit not only a good releasability to various adhesives but also a less fluctuation in peeling force, and can maintain a low peeling force even when the release agent is bonded to an adhesive and preserved under a heating condition.

There is provided an image forming apparatus which is capable of securing a time period for measuring the base reflected light quantity required for the base correction, and at the same time, reducing a time period required for the entire image density control. An image forming unit includes an image carrier disposed to be exposed to light to have a latent image formed thereon, an electrostatic charger that charges the image carrier to a predetermined polarity, a developing device that visualizes the latent image formed on the image carrier to form a visible image, and an endless belt onto which the visible image is transferred. A CPU controls the image forming unit to form predetermined detection patterns on the endless belt. The detection patterns and the quantity of reflection light from the endless belt are detected. The CPU corrects the detected detection patterns based on the detected quantity of reflection light. One of the image forming conditions is adjusted by the CPU, based on the corrected detection result of the detection patterns. Another one of the image forming conditions is adjusted by the CPU. The detection of the quantity of reflection light from the endless belt is carried out in timing synchronous with the adjustment of the other image forming condition.
