A transport device includes a transport roller configured to transport a roll paper, a winding unit configured to wind the roll paper transported, a tension applying unit configured to apply tension to the medium between the transport roller and the winding unit, and a control unit configured to control the tension applying unit. The control unit is configured to control the tension applying unit to maintain a state where the tension is released, at least during an acceleration period of rotation of the transport roller within a period in which the transport roller applies a transporting force to the roll paper.

A medium conveying device includes a driving roller configured to apply a driving force to a medium to convey the medium, a first driven roller configured to press the medium toward the driving roller, and a second driven roller arranged upstream of the first driven roller in a conveying direction of the medium, and that is configured to contact the medium entirely in an intersecting direction intersecting the conveying direction to press the medium toward the driving roller, wherein a contact portion of the second driven roller contacting the medium includes a material configured to adsorb a plasticizer of the medium, and a pressing force of the second driven roller is weaker than a pressing force of the first driven roller.

A transport device includes a first rotary part that rotates; a second rotary part that contacts the first rotary part, that forms a pinch region where an object to be transported is pinched between the second rotary part and the first rotary part, and that rotates together with the first rotary part; and a positioning mechanism that positions the second rotary part with respect to the first rotary part. The positioning mechanism includes a swing part that supports one end portion side of the second rotary part, that is supported at one end portion side of the first rotary part, and that is swingable around a rotation center of the first rotary part; and a fixing section that fixes the swing part.

A display device includes a first substrate; a plurality of gate lines arranged in a row direction on the first substrate; a plurality of data lines arranged in a column direction intersecting the row direction; and a plurality of pixels formed in a plurality of pixel areas defined by the gate and data lines, the plurality of pixels comprising at least a first pixel and a second pixel respectively disposed in a first pixel area and a second pixel area that are immediately adjacent to each other. Each of the first and second pixels comprises a thin film transistor electrically connected to the gate and data lines, and a pixel electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor. The data lines are disposed-apart by different distances from each other in the column direction. Each of the first and second pixel areas comprises a first edge portion adjacent to one of the gate lines and a second edge portion adjacent to another of the gate lines, a length of the first edge portion being greater than a length of the second edge portion. The thin film transistor is disposed at the first edge portion of the first and second pixel areas.

A transport device includes a transport section, a processing section, a detector, and a transport controller. The transport section transports a sheet. The processing section performs processing on the sheet. The detector detects a movement of a pointing instrument on a detection surface of the detector itself. The transport controller allows the sheet to be transported by a distance corresponding to the movement of the pointing instrument, and in a direction corresponding to the movement of the pointing instrument.

A recording device capable of preventing an occurrence of a transport wrinkle in a transport path is provided. A recording medium transport device includes a driving roller (111) and a driven roller (112) arranged such that a roller axial direction of the driving roller and a roller axial direction of the driven roller are parallel to each other, a recording medium (1) being transported by driving the driving roller (111) with the recording medium (1) held between the driving roller (111) and the driven roller (112), and the driven roller (112) is movably supported from a predetermined position in the roller axial direction, and in a case where the driven roller (112) is separated from the driving roller (111) without holding the recording medium (1) between the driven roller and the driving roller (111), the driven roller (112) moves to the predetermined position in the roller axial direction.

Meandering of a medium at a time of transporting is reduced. A recording apparatus which transports medium and performs recording on the medium is provided. The apparatus includes a recording unit, a medium clamping unit which is provided on a side further upstream than the recording unit in a transport direction, and clamps the medium therebetween, and a medium support unit which is provided on the side further upstream than the medium clamping unit in the transport direction, and supports the medium. The medium is slackened between the medium clamping unit and the medium support unit.

A sheet-conveying device includes first, second, and third rotary members, and a switching unit. The first rotary member rotates in one direction to convey, with the second rotary member, a sheet in a first direction and to convey, with the third rotary member, the sheet in a second direction. The switching unit switch from a first to a second state by moving the first rotary member before a trailing end of the first direction conveyed sheet passes through the first and second rotary members. The first state is a state where the second rotary member contacts a first surface of the sheet and the first rotary member contacts a second surface of the sheet. The second state is a state where the first rotary member contacts with the first surface of the sheet and the third rotary member contacts the second surface of the sheet.

An apparatus for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path includes at least one transport element driven by at least one first drive unit and at least one counter-pressure element arranged opposite to the transport element. The transport path of the note of value extends between the transport element and the counter-pressure element. The counter-pressure element is ball-shaped and is mounted so as to be freely rotatable. Further, the apparatus includes a second drive unit for displacing the transport element along its axis of rotation so that a note of value arranged between the transport element and the counter-pressure element is moved transversely to the transport direction during displacement of the transport element.

In a cross section perpendicular to an axial direction of a discharge roller, a rotation center of the discharge roller is provided at a position out of a straight line that connects a rotation center of a discharge driven roller and a rotation center of a duplex driven roller. The discharge roller that receives forces from the discharge driven roller and the duplex driven roller is held by a discharge roller presser.
