We will introduce a case where cross-sections were created and observed by method regarding the adhesive parts of the tires of pull-back cars. When conducting SEM observations of the created cross-sections, fillers present inside the rubber were confirmed. It was found that the dispersion state of the fillers and the condition of the adhesive interface were not clear with fracture by liquid nitrogen or mechanical polishing. In contrast, the cross-sections created by cryo ion milling allow for clear observation of the dispersion state of the fillers contained within the rubber and the condition of the adhesive interface with the plastic substrate.

We will introduce the observation of the shape of conductive particles in COG implementation. ICs and liquid crystal panels are implemented using the COG method with ACF (anisotropic conductive film). A resin ball is used as the core, and a metal layer (such as nickel or gold) for conductivity is deposited on its surface. During connection, the particles deform appropriately to electrically connect the IC and the panel. To confirm the degree of particle deformation and connection status, cross-sectional observations were conducted, revealing that the particle deformation was at a "medium" level, indicating an appropriate degree of deformation. By examining the deformation of conductive particles from both the planar and cross-sectional directions, we can explore the correlation with display defects.
