A method of forming a device having a compliant member includes creating a membrane having one or more elastomeric layers which are at least partially cured. Another elastomeric layer is provided on the membrane in an uncured state. At least one of a bobbin and a housing are positioned so that an end of the bobbin or housing, or the ends of both the bobbin and housing, extend at least partially into the uncured elastomeric layer. The uncured elastomeric layer is then cured to secure it to the membrane and to the housing or bobbin, or both the housing and bobbin. The method substantially reduces or eliminates the formation of holes that can form during fabrication or use of the device.

A method of manufacturing a display unit including: preparing an optical film; forming a first alignment mark on the optical film; forming a cut-out line, corresponding to a predetermined closed curve layout, on the optical film based on a position of the first alignment mark; preparing a panel having a second alignment mark; aligning the optical film and the panel based on the positions of the first alignment mark and the second alignment mark; and laminating the optical film, after the processing of forming the cut-out line, on the panel.

A sheet processing device includes a conveyor, a rotator, a separator, and control circuitry. The conveyor conveys a sheet-shaped medium into a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlaid and partially bonded, and includes a drive roller and a driven roller. The rotator winds the two-ply sheet. The separator separates the two sheets of the two-ply sheet. The control circuitry causes the conveyor to convey the two-ply sheet in a winding direction to wind the two-ply sheet around the rotator to generate a space between the two sheets, and causes the separator to insert into the space between the two sheets to separate the two sheets. The drive roller and the rotator are disposed on a same side with respect to a sheet conveyance passage of the two-ply sheet, and the driven roller and the rotator are disposed on opposite sides with respect to the sheet conveyance passage.

A method of manufacturing a gas barrier film includes depositing an atomic layer deposition film on a surface of a plastic substrate to form a gas barrier laminate, using atomic layer deposition; depositing a curable resin layer on a support from which the layer is peelable, to form an overcoat laminate; laminating the overcoat laminate to the gas barrier laminate, with the atomic layer deposition film and the curable resin layer facing each other, and transferring the curable resin layer onto the atomic layer deposition film; curing the curable resin layer through application of heat or an active energy beam; and releasing the curable resin layer from the support.
