摘要:
A fiber comprising a vinyl alcohol units-containing polymer, said polymer being modified at the oxygen atoms of its alcoholic hydroxyl groups with a group represented by the following formula I ##STR1## wherein M represents a chelate-forming metal atom and R represents an alkyl group. The fiber has excellent resistance to hot water and wet heat and does not stick, adhere or shrink even when dyed at high temperatures or treated by steam ironing, thus proving to be of markedly high commercial value.

In order to provide an ultrasonic probe capable of suppressing the influence of multiple reflections occurring on the interface of a transducer with a CMUT chip and a backing layer, an ultrasonic probe of the present invention has a structure where an acoustic lens 14, transducers 11-1 to 11-m, and a backing layer 12 are laminated. Each of the transducers 11-1 to 11-m has a CMUT chip, and the backing layer 12 is formed of a material with a value of substantially the same acoustic impedance as the acoustic lens 14.

A writing device for writing an image to a display medium, the writing device applies a voltage between a pair of electroconductive layers and irradiates light onto a photosensitive layer. The light irradiates onto a region of the photosensitive layer that overlaps a region of the display layer where liquid crystal of a first display layer undergoes transition to the light-reflecting state, and applies a voltage between the pair of electroconductive layers for a time period such that a voltage equal to or larger than a second threshold voltage is applied to a region of the display layer unit where the liquid crystal of the first display layer is to undergo transition to the light-reflecting state, and a voltage smaller than the second threshold voltage is applied to a region of the display layer unit overlapped by a region of the photosensitive layer to which no light is irradiated.
