A nonconductor product is soaked in a solution suspending a semiconducting powder and is subjected to light irradiation in the solution so that polar group is formed on the surface of the nonconductor product, and then electroless plating is performed on the surface on which the polar group is formed. A resin product is subjected to electroless plating after ultraviolet treatment in which ultraviolet rays are irradiated through water or a solution is performed. Further, electroless plating or electroplating with a different or the same kind of metal is performed on the electroless-plated layer formed by electroless plating. With the method like this, the plated nonconductor product which does not cause problems such as environmental pollution and waste liquid treatment, and whose surface and plated coating is firmly adhered to each other, and, when a resin product is used as an object to be plated, deformation by heat of the resin product can be prevented, and moreover, the adherent strength of the plated coating can be improved.

A projective display device can function as a video projector and a slide projector. The device is compact, easy to use and simple in operation. A video projector that projects video information can be used as a slide projector by utilizing a reflection type spatial light modulator in a reflected state when a photographic film is held in the optical system of the projector. Alternatively, a moveable mirror can be used to switch from a video projector to a slide projector.

An illumination device for an image input device includes a cylindrical light guiding unit, a board having a plurality of light emitting diode elements, a connection member connecting the light guiding unit with the board and a terminal reflection member formed at one end of the light guiding unit. A surface of the light guiding unit has a scattering reflection member extending linearly along the axial direction of the light guiding unit. A cylindrical reflection member is spaced around the light guiding unit and a linear space is provided in the reflection member along the axial direction of the guiding unit.

A picture image input device having the capabilities of a sheet fed scanner with respect to sheet-type original media and realizing the convenience of a hand scanner with respect to original media such as books and the like. The picture image input device includes a light source that emits light for reading an original medium, an image sensor, a projection optical system that composes an image of the original medium on the image sensor, a driving unit that moves the original medium relative to the image sensor and a folding joint unit that changes the usage state between one of an open state and a folded state. In the open state the picture image input device functions as a hand scanner. In the closed state the picture image input device functions as a sheet fed scanner. The reading position of the original medium is the boundary between a reading unit and a driving unit of the picture image input device in the folded state.
