<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light absorptive member improved in heat efficiency, a heating device, a fixing unit and an image forming apparatus that uses the fixing unit. <P>SOLUTION: The light absorptive member includes one or more absorptive coating layers which are formed on a substrate and in which nano-rods are dispersed and can improve absorption efficiency of a heating device, such as, for example, a fixing unit that uses a light source as a radiant heat source, due to the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon of the light having a predetermined wavelength corresponding to the aspect ratio of the nano-rods. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
