A first region of a valid portion formed on a mask sheet has a shape corresponding to a shape of each of active regions and provided for each active region of a vapor target substrate. A second region of the valid portion is located outside of the first region, and includes a plurality of vapor deposition holes (H) covered with a hauling sheet.

Vapor deposition mask

A valid portion formed on a mask sheet is provided to extend across a plurality of active regions on a vapor target substrate. The valid portion includes a first region and a second region. The first region is provided in a shape corresponding to a shape of each of the active regions for each of the active regions. The second region is located outside the first region, and is provided with a covering portion configured to cover a plurality of vapor deposition holes.

In a refractive index measuring device () for measuring a refractive index of a solid sample (S), the solid sample (S) is closely attached to a prism () having a predetermined refractive index with a refractive index liquid () having a predetermined refractive index interposed therebetween. A scaled angle (light receiving member) () having a light receiving surface () that receives first reflected light (R), which is a part of light from a light source () and which is reflected by the prism (), is provided. When the prism () is rotationally driven by a rotary table (rotational drive unit) () and an intensity of second reflected light (R) detected by a detector () becomes lower than a predetermined value, the refractive index of the solid sample (S) is measured by using a position of the first reflected light (R) on the light receiving surface () of the scaled angle ().

A method for cutting apart a glass substrate is provided whereby scribing of the glass substrate is possible without being affected by the presence or thickness of a deposited film formed thereon and without scratching the deposited film. To treat a glass substrate having a deposited film, such as a thin film or resin film, formed on one surface thereof, there are provided a shaving device, which is a blade that removes strip-shaped portions of the deposited film to expose strip-shaped regions on the glass substrate, and a wheel cutter () that forms scribed lines along the strip-shaped regions exposed on the glass substrate. The glass substrate is cut apart along the scribed lines.

Liquid crystal panel having polarizer plates on both surfaces thereof

A liquid crystal display panel manufacturing apparatus is provided with a stage for fixing a substrate having an optical film adhered to at least one of surfaces of the substrate. The stage has a suction hole for attracting the substrate by suction. The stage has an interposition member located around a region provided with the suction hole, and the interposition member has a closed frame-like form in a plan view. A display panel manufacturing apparatus that can stably fix the substrate is provided.

A circularly polarizing plate includes a &#x3bb;/4 phase difference plate and a linearly polarizing plate overlaid on a main surface of the &#x3bb;/4 phase difference plate and having an absorption axis forming an angle of about 45&#xb0; with respect to a lagging axis of the &#x3bb;/4 phase difference plate. The &#x3bb;/4 phase difference plate has reverse wavelength dispersion characteristics and an Nz coefficient of 1.6 or more. Employment of this structure can provide the circularly polarizing plate having good view angle characteristics and a vertical alignment type of liquid crystal display panel having the same.

The magnetic recording reproducing apparatus is of a type in which magnetic tape is loaded approximately parallel to a reference plane of a cassette, and in a tape guide group on magnetic tape take up side of a rotary head drum, a first take up side inclined guide on which magnetic tape is wound around immediately after it moves away from rotary head, a take up side guide roller arranged downstream and a second take up side inclined guide are included. Height of a lead formed at a fixed portion of rotary head drum is set such that it becomes lower than the lower end of the magnetic tape for its entire region, at the time of loading and unloading of the magnetic tape. By this structure, contact between the lower end of the magnetic tape and the edge of the lead at the time of loading and unloading of the magnetic tape can be avoided, and therefore damage on the magnetic tape caused by the lead edge can be prevented, and the life of the tape can be made longer.

A loading lever having loading lever pins is fixed on a main chassis. Loading arms having loading arm depressed portions are rotatably attached to a slide chassis. The loading arm depressed portion engages with the loading lever pin, and the loading arm depressed portion is engaged with the loading lever pin, and in this state, the slide chassis moves in the direction of the arrow B. Therefore, loading arms move in the direction of the arrows J and K. Since the loading arms are rotated, it becomes unnecessary to slide the loading lever, and therefore, the structure of the magnetic recording reproducing apparatus can be made simple.
