In a variable-shape mirror of which the shape of the mirror surface can be varied, a mirror portion is bonded only to a fixed portion and not to a piezoelectric element. When the piezoelectric element is not operating, the mirror portion, receiving a predetermined force from the piezoelectric element, makes contact with the piezoelectric element. When the piezoelectric element contracts, the mirror portion tends to restore its original shape by its counterforce. Thus, even when the piezoelectric element contracts, the contact between the mirror portion and the piezoelectric element is held, and hence the electric conduction to the piezoelectric element is maintained.

The present invention provides an ink-jet recording medium for use in industrial ink-jet printers which offers good printability and storage stability for outdoor and indoor applications. The ink-jet recording medium comprises an ink-absorption layer that absorbs the largest amount of ink of all the layers that constitute an ink-receiving layer on at least one surface of the substrate is composed of a material comprising porous pigment, a fixer and a binder, in which the fixer is an amphoteric fixer containing a cationic component that is cationic and an anionic component that is anionic, in which the molar ratio of the cationic component to the anionic component contained in the fixer is in the range between 1:0.01 and 1:0.5, and in which the percentage of the fixer contained in the ink-absorption layer ranges from 1 to 30% by weight of the solid content of the ink-absorption layer. Printed matter obtained by ink-jet printing on the ink-jet recording medium of the present invention has excellent durability, such as long-term image quality, water resistance and heat resistance.

The invention provides a novel planographic printing plate suitable for dry planographic printing without supply of dampening water and a method for the preparation thereof. The inventive printing plate has, on one surface of a base plate, a layer of an organopolysiloxane composed of the areas where fresh surface of the organopolysiloxane is exposed bare as the ink-repellent non-image areas and the areas where the surface of the organopolysiloxane layer has been subjected to the treatment with low temperature plasma to be oleophilic or ink-receptive as the image areas of the printing plate. According to the inventive method, the pattern-wise exposure of the organopolysiloxane layer to the plasma atmosphere is performed by first providing a pattern-wise layer of a plasma resistant protective resist layer on the organopolysiloxane layer followed by the plasma treatment and removal of the resist layer. In an improved embodiment of the invention, a layer of an abrasion-resistant ink-receptive material is provided on the organopolysiloxane layer in the plasma-treated areas so that the durability of the printing plate is remarkably improved. Further, incorporation of a metachromatic substance susceptible to plasma treatment, e.g. a dye subject to color change by the plasma treatment, in the organopolysiloxane or in an undercoating primer layer facilitates determination of the end point of the plasma treatment.

Novel benzophenone derivatives represented by the general formula R.sub.m.sup.1 --C.sub.6 H.sub.5-m --CO--C.sub.6 H.sub.5-n --R.sub.n.sup.2 where R.sup.1 is a halogen atom, a monovalent C.sub.1-10 hydrocarbon, alkoxy, thioalkoxy, amino, or dialkylamino group, R.sup.2 is an unsubstituted or organosiloxy-substituted organosilyl group, and m and n are each integers from 1 to 5. The benzophenone derivatives are useful as photosensitizers for making photo-curable compositions by blending with photo polymerizable resins, especially photopolymerizable organosilicon resins. Such photo-curable organosilicon resin compositions are further useful for making dry-planographic printing plates comprising non-image areas formed from the polymerized and cured layers of the composition.
