There is provided provide an image-forming apparatus that is capable of bringing a transfer film and a print medium into intimate contact without any gap therebetween, to thereby enhancing the quality of an image transferred from the film to the print medium. An image-forming apparatus uses a print medium, and a transfer film formed of a water-soluble resin material and having a smooth printing surface, to form a transferred image on the print medium. An image is printed on the printing surface of the transfer film, with sublimable dye ink. The printed transfer film and the print medium are overlaid such that the printing surface of the transfer film faces a transfer surface of the print medium. The printed transfer film and the print medium overlaid to each other are sandwiched and a thermal pressing process is performed on the printed transfer film and the print medium to cause the image printed on the transfer film to be diffused and fixed on the transfer surface. At this time, a pressure heating roller performs pressure rolling on the printed transfer film and the print medium overlaid to each other, from a non-printing surface side of the transfer film. Alternatively, a pair of pressure heating rollers sandwich the printed transfer film and the print medium overlaid to each other therebetween, and send them forward by rotation thereof.

Disclosed are an electrochromic device and a method for fabricating the same. The electrochromic device comprises a transparent electrode, on which an electrochromic layer is formed, a counter electrode on which a reflective layer is formed, and an electrolyte layer interposed between the transparent electrode and the counter electrode. Since the electrolyte layer is formed in only an active region of unit pixels, neither crosstalk nor image diffusion occurs and only the selected region of unit pixels is operated. Thus, the electrochromic device can realize passive matrix displays capable of representing a desired color. Furthermore, the electrochromic device can be utilized in a variety of applications including flexible displays and electrical papers.

The present invention relates to a glass plate including a first main surface subjected to antiglare treatment, and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface, in which a clarity index value T, a reflection image diffusiveness index value R and an anti-sparkle index value S satisfy respective relations of: clarity index value T≥0.8; reflection image diffusiveness index value R≥0.01; and anti-sparkle index value S≥0.85; and a transmission haze measured by a method according to JIS K 7136 (2000) being 15% or less. The glass plate of the present invention is excellent in clarity, reflection image diffusiveness and anti-sparkle, and also excellent in reproducibility of color.
