摘要:
A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substrates each having thereon an electrode, and a smectic liquid crystal having a plurality of smectic liquid crystal layers disposed between the substrates. The smectic liquid crystal is disposed to form a first region wherein the smectic liquid crystal layers are aligned to have a layer inclination angle smaller than a calculated layer inclination angle based on a temperature-dependent layer spacing-changing characteristic or are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the substrates to form a bookshelf structure, and a second region wherein the smectic liquid crystal layers are aligned to form a chevron structure having a substantial layer inclination angle or having a layer inclination angle substantially equal to a calculated layer inclination angle based on a temperature-dependent layer spacing-changing characteristic. The liquid crystal device having the first an second regions described above is effective in improving a contrast ratio and a driven margin parameter.

An image forming process provides an excellent ink fixation effect for high speed, low energy consumption printing. Two-valued or multi-valued gradation expression of a picture element, or the smallest output unit, is realized by controlling the number of liquid droplets impacting on a recording medium for each dot formed on the recording medium. The liquid droplets are subjected to physical or chemical modification so as to be fixed to the recording medium. The present invention is also directed to an image forming apparatus, an ink for liquid droplet recording and a liquid droplet ejection and projection method that can use the image forming process.

A method of forming a film on a substrate is constituted by a step of depositing a material vaporized from an evaporation source onto a surface of a substrate while inclining the surface of the substrate with respect to a direction from the evaporation source to the substrate, and a step of providing the surface of the substrate with an energy depending on a deposition angle.

A liquid crystal device has a pair of substrates, an alignment film formed at least on one of the pair of substrates and liquid crystal showing an orientation defined by the alignment film. The alignment film is a carbon film having a cross-sectional structure inclined relative to the direction of the film thickness by a constant angle.

A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal optical device is provided including an alignment film forming step of forming an alignment film containing silicon oxide on a substrate, and a liquid crystal cell forming step of disposing a pair of substrates at least one of which the alignment film has been formed on, opposite to each other interposing a liquid crystal therebetween. In the alignment film forming step, the substrate surface is bombarded with a plasma beam generated by vacuum arc discharge using a cathode containing silicon, where the substrate is disposed on the course of the plasma beam obliquely with an angle. When the plasma beam bombards the substrate surface, plasma ions in the plasma beam have higher kinetic energy or higher flux density than plasma ions in a plasma beam which, if bombarding the substrate obliquely at the angle, form a film having a column structure.

A X-ray waveguide includes a core for guiding X-rays having a wavelength band in which the real part of refractive index of material is smaller than 1 and a cladding for confining the X-rays in the core. The core has a one-dimensional periodic structure in which a plurality of layers respectively formed of inorganic materials having different real parts of refractive index are periodically laminated. The core and the cladding are configured so that a critical angle for total reflection for the X-rays at an interface between the core and the cladding is larger than a Bragg angle due to a periodicity of the one-dimensional periodic structure. A critical angle for total reflection for the X-rays at an interface between layers in the one-dimensional periodic structure is smaller than the Bragg angle due to the periodicity of the one-dimensional periodic structure.

An X-ray holography light source element divides an entering X-ray beam to emit two or more mutually coherent X-ray beams. The light source element includes an X-ray waveguide which has a core and a cladding. The core contains a plurality of substances different in a refractive-index real part and is a periodic structure body in which basic structures are periodically disposed; the cladding confines an X-ray to the core to be guided therethrough. The total reflection critical angle of the X-ray on the interface of the core and the cladding is larger than the Bragg angle corresponding to the periodicity of the basic structures of the core. A shield member provided with two or more opening portions for respectively emitting the two or more mutually coherent X-ray beams is disposed at the end portion at an emission side of the X-ray waveguide.
