Provided is a disc archive apparatus, including: a tray conveying robot that selects a specified disc tray and conveys the specified disc tray; a rotatable turn table, the disc tray conveyed by the tray conveying robot being placed on the rotatable turn table; a disc conveying picker for placing the discs from the disc tray placed on the turn table into the plurality of drives of the disc drive; and a controller that controls an operation, in which the controller performs a control operation including performing processing including recording or reproduction on/from the disc taken out from a disc tray currently placed on a first area of the turn table, rotating the turn table thereafter, and performing processing including recording or reproduction on/from a next disc tray placed on a second area of the turn table.

Disc archive apparatus

There is provided an optical recording medium including: three reproduction layers, wherein reflectance R1, R2, and R3 of the three reproduction layers on a side of a surface irradiated with reproduction light is equal to or greater than 5%, and wherein any absolute value of a difference delta R between two selected from the reflectance R1, R2, and R3 is equal to or less than 7%.

Optical recording medium

Disclosed herein is a liquid crystal display device, including: a first substrate; a second substrate; a plurality of spacers disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer filled between the first substrate and the second substrate supported by the plurality of spacers; wherein each of the plurality of spacers has a multiple step structure having one or more steps.

Liquid crystal display device and a method of manufacturing the same

A liquid-crystal display device includes a first substrate; a second substrate formed so as to oppose the first substrate; a liquid-crystal layer with a predetermined thickness, the liquid-crystal layer being formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a planarization film for planarizing the surface of the liquid-crystal layer, the planarization film being formed on the surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, the surface facing the liquid-crystal layer; and projecting parts that are integrally formed with the planarization film.
