20120262509 | PRINTING DEVICE, PRINTING METHOD, AND MEDIUM HAVING RECORDED PROGRAM - To provide a technique when printing using a light-shielding ink and a special glossy ink, the printing device includes an affixing part for affixing ink to a printing medium, and a controller for controlling ink volumes of a colored ink, a light-shielding ink having light-shielding properties, and a special glossy ink having special gloss. The controller has a field discriminating part for discriminating an overlap field of a light-shielding ink field and a special glossy ink field; and a part for allowing, in the overlap field, the ink volume of light-shielding ink to be brought lower than the ink volume of the light-shielding ink determined in accordance with the image data, irrespective of the overlap field. | 10-18-2012 |
20120313990 | PRINTING DEVICE, PRINTING METHOD, AND MEDIUM HAVING RECORDED PROGRAM - To provide technology that can reduce the possibility of an image becoming blurry with a printing device for printing images on a printing medium. A printing device is equipped with an affixing part for affixing on a printing medium ink containing a special glossy ink having reflectance angle dependence as an optical characteristic, and a controller for controlling the operation of the printing device. The controller uses the affixing part to form a base layer by affixing the special glossy ink on the printing medium, and after the base layer is formed, forms an image layer representing an image by affixing on the base layer special glossy ink and, among the inks noted above, ink other than the special glossy ink. | 12-13-2012 |

20130263912 | SOLAR CELL MODULE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A solar cell module includes a plurality of solar cells arranged next to one another in a first direction orthogonal to a second direction. The solar cells each include a lower conductive layer, an upper conductive layer, and a power generating layer. Adjacent solar cells include edge portions overlapped and electrically connected with each other. Each of the solar cells further includes end processed regions at both ends thereof and a main power generating region in a middle portion thereof. The end processed regions prevent a short-circuit between the upper conductive layer and the lower conductive layer. The main power generating region performs photoelectric conversion. The edge portion of one of the adjacent solar cells overlaps from above with the edge portion of the other one of the adjacent solar cells within a range of the main power generating region of the other one of the adjacent solar cells. | 10-10-2013 |
