[Seiji Kondou, Kazuki Tsuchimoto, Tomoaki Masuda, Makoto Komatsubara, Mie Oota, Ryuuichi Inoue] JP Osaka The method of cleaning a coated sheet according to the present invention is characterized in that dry wind is brown along the traveling direction of a film onto the surface of a coating layer wherein the solid content and the viscosity of the coating solution are within specified ranges. By this method, the thickness precision of the coating film can be improved in its large area, and the evenness of its in-plane optically functional property can be made even therein. The speed of the dry wind, the temperature of the wind, and the thickness of the dried coating film are preferably within specified ranges. In particular, the coated sheet is very useful as an optical material having good properties in an optically functional layer which is frequently used as a large-area coated sheet, an optical device having such an optically functional layer, an optically compensating layer, or an optically compensating plate. The coated sheet is particularly effective for an image display on which they are mounted.

CO., LTD., 2-12, Omori-kita 2-chome, Ota-ku, Tokyo 1430016 [Problem] To provide a torque driver capable of making a mark by bringing the marker into direct contact with the surface of the screw or other type of fastening member. [Solution] A torque driver (1) in which the tightening force on the case (10) is transmitted to the main shaft (20) via a torque limiter part (30) and in which the case (10) rotates with respect to the main shaft (20) when the tightening torque on a screw (80), which is engaged with a bit (70) mounted on a coupler (60) that is fixed to the tip of the main shaft (20), reaches a torque value established for the torque limiter part (30). The torque driver comprises: a marker (54) that passes from inside the coupler (60) through the side surface of the bit (70) to reach the tip of the bit (70); and a marker-operating part (40) that causes the tip (53) of the marker to contact and mark the screw (80) by moving the marker (54) forward using the rotation of the case (10) with respect to the main shaft (20).
