摘要:
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for forming a uniform and smooth coating film on a surface of a cylindrical body, for example, for production of an electrophotographic photosensitive body. The apparatus of the present invention includes a float having a space portion formed in the inside thereof for floatation in the liquid surface of the paint. The float is specifically formed so that even in the case where the paint contains a solvent that gradually evaporates, no bubbles are generated from a lower portion of a hollow cylindrical body during the coating step, because the pressure rising inside the hollow cylindrical body is moderated by the space portion of the float.

The invention intends to provides an optical waveguide device having a structure that satisfies the low drive voltage characteristic and the low propagation loss characteristic at the same time. The optical waveguide device contains a conductive or semiconductive lower electrode, an epitaxial or single orientational buffer layer provided on the lower electrode, an epitaxial or single orientational optical waveguide provided on the buffer layer, and an upper electrode of a conductive thin film or a semiconductive thin film, provided on the optical waveguide. The optical waveguide device is able to modulate, switch, or deflect incident light beams guided into the optical waveguide by applying a voltage between the upper electrode and the lower electrode.

The invention provides a display method, and a display medium and a display device using the method thereof. The display method displays an image through a process for depositing fine metal particles, in which fine metal particles are deposited on a solid surface from an electrolyte by giving one stimulus to the electrolyte, wherein the particle size distribution of the fine metal particles that are deposited on the specific area of the solid surface, has one or more maximum peaks, and at least one of the maximum peaks satisfies the following formula (1): Pp(±30)/Pp(T)≦0.5 (1) where, Pp(T) means the height of the highest peak among the maximum peaks, and Pp(±30) means the height of the distribution curve at the particle size that is ±30% from the particle size of the fine metal particles at the height of the highest peak.
