To suppress the magnetizing inrush current occurring when supplying power of three phases of the transformer are performed simultaneously using three single-phase circuit breakers or a non-phase segregated operation-type circuit breaker, without providing a circuit breaker with a resistor or other equipment. A magnetizing inrush current suppression method for transformer suppresses a magnetizing inrush current occurring at the start of energizing of a three-phase transformer, when a three-phase power supplyis input to a terminal of each phase by means of a three-phase circuit breaker. In the method, by integrating phase voltages or line-to-line voltages on the primary side or the secondary side or the tertiary side when three-phase AC voltages are applied in a steady state to the transformer, steady-state magnetic fluxfor each phase of the transformer is calculated, and the polarity and magnitude of the residual magnetic fluxof each phase of the transformer after the circuit breakershuts off the transformer are calculated, and the three-phase circuit breaker is caused to close simultaneously in a regionin which three phases overlap, each of the three phases having the polarity of the steady-state magnetic fluxequal to the polarity of the residual magnetic fluxfor each phase of the transformer.

A substrate heating chamber and a substrate cooling chamber each capable of simultaneously holding a plurality of substrates are provided in a thermally separated state in a heating and cooling apparatus with a single vacuum processing chamber. The substrate heating chamber is equipped with a plurality of communicating or non-communicating substrate holding spaces. The substrate cooling chamber is also equipped with a plurality of communicating or non-communicating substrate holding spaces. The communicating substrate holding spaces allow the batch heat treatment of substrates, while the non-communicating substrate holding spaces allow the batch or individual processing of substrates.

The present invention relates to a vacuum container having a first substrate and a second substrate arranged so as to face each other as components including, within the low-pressure container, a spacer disposed at the first substrate or the second substrate so as to maintain an interval between the first substrate and the second substrate. The spacer is fixed within the vacuum container via a supporting member provided at the spacer without contacting the substrate where the spacer is disposed. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing vacuum container, an image display apparatus using the vacuum container, and a method for manufacturing the image display apparatus.

A plasma display panel is provided in which discharge connection in the column direction is prevented without increasing the number of man-hours in a formation process of a partition and without deteriorating ventilation for an exhaust process. A pattern in a plan view of a partition is made a mesh pattern in which vertical patterns are included at inter-row positions in each column. Each of first vertical walls is positioned at a boundary between columns, each of second vertical walls is arranged at a position away from a boundary between columns for each boundary between rows and each of horizontal walls is positioned at a boundary between rows. In the partition, a height of portions where the first vertical wall crosses the horizontal wall and a height of portions where the second vertical wall crosses the horizontal wall are smaller than a height of the other portions of the partition.

The invention is intended to provide a sputtering device in which a single sputtering chamber is equipped with a plurality of supports and a target-positioning mechanism for rotating the supports to position the targets into film-forming position. Each support is provided with targets that are different from each other. The same types of targets are mounted in the same order on each support. The supports are rotated to select the same types of targets needed to form a film and to position the targets relative to the substrate. A plurality of the same type of targets are used simultaneously to form a film. The supports are then rotated to select the next targets, and the next film is built up on the previous film. As the film is formed, targets that are not used in the film-forming process can be cleaned with a cleaning device.
