摘要:
There is provided a method and apparatus for forming an image which includes providing a recording composition capable of changing its adhesivity corresponding to the polarity of a voltage applied thereto between a pair of electrodes. The recording composition has a transfer characteristic having a tendency to change by loss of at least one component of the recording composition. A voltage is applied between the pair of electrodes to attach the recording composition to one of the pair of electrodes to attach the recording composition to one of the pair of electrodes. Any such change in the transfer characteristic of the recording composition is detected during the process. In response to any change in the transfer characteristic additional component is added to the recording composition to compensate for that change.

A method for transferring a viscous substance, including the steps of: providing a viscous substance capable of changing its adhesiveness corresponding to the polarity of a voltage applied thereto; disposing the viscous substance between a first electrode and a second electrode; and applying a voltage to the viscous substance plural times, thereby to reduce the adhesiveness of the viscous substance to the first electrode.

A method for supplying a viscous substance includes the step of providing a viscous substance having an adhesive characteristic which changes in correspondence to a polarity of a voltage applied thereto. The viscous substance has an adhesive characteristic when no voltage is applied thereto and its adhesiveness is reduced when a voltage is applied thereto. The method further includes the step of supplying the viscous substance between a pair of electrodes at least one of which has a pattern comprising an electroconductive portion and an insulating pattern. The method also includes the step of applying a voltage between the first and second electrodes to thereby attach the viscous substance in an amount which corresponds to the ratio of the area of the electroconductive portion to the area of the insulating portion.

A process for manufacturing a substrate sheet for information recording mediums using a roll stamper including a flexible stamper member having a pattern corresponding to a preformat for an information recording medium, a first fixing member and a second fixing member integrally joined to both ends of the stamper member, and a pair of fit grooves capable of fittingly receiving the fixing members and formed in the periphery of a specular roll substrate in parallel to the axial direction of the specular roll substrate. The fixing members are fitted to the fit grooves so the stamper member is fixed along the periphery of the specular roll substrate between fit grooves. The first fixing member has a first member with a coefficient of linear expansion substantially equal to the coefficient of linear expansion of the stamper member and a second member having a larger coefficient of linear expansion than the coefficient of linear expansion of the first member. The first member is joined to the stamper member and the second member is positioned inside the first member with respect to the second fixing member. The roll stamper is set up to satisfy the relationship of expression (1):.DELTA.L.sub.1 -.DELTA.L.sub.2

A recording material (ink) showing a selective adhesiveness to one of a pair of electrodes applying a voltage to the recording material, is constituted by dissolving an electrolyte in a solvent. The recording material is provided with an improved stability against environmental changes, particularly against a humidity change, if the solvent is at least partly constituted by a reaction product between a ring-opening product of an alkylene oxide R--O.sub.n and glycerin or phenol, wherein R is an alkylene group and n is an integer.

摘要:
A method for preparing a substrate sheet for an optical recording medium has the steps of controlling a roll stamper having a preformat pattern on the peripheral surface thereof and a molding roll disposed with a predetermined gap between the same and the roll stamper so that they have a predetermined temperature, feeding a thermoplastic resin heated to a predetermined temperature to the gap from a means for extruding the thermoplastic resin disposed on the upstream side of the gap, while the roll stamper and the molding roll are rotated at a predetermined rotational frequency, and then molding the thermoplastic resin into a sheet by pressing the resin between the roll stamper and the molding roll to transfer the preformat pattern to the resin. The method is characterized in that the molding is carried out under molding conditions regulated so that continuously measured gap temperatures of the substrate sheet may periodically fluctuate in a predetermined amplitude and so that the amplitude may accord with a previously set value of an amplitude corresponding to a desired transfer precision and birefringence value of the substrate sheet for the optical recording medium.
