  • LIGHT ABSORPTION ANISOTROPIC LAYER, LAMINATE, AND INFRARED LIGHT SENSOR SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240142682
    Abstract: A light absorption anisotropic layer which has a high S/N ratio for generating polarized light with respect to rays in an infrared wavelength region, is lightweight, and has excellent handleability, a laminate, and a sensor system including the light absorption anisotropic layer or the laminate. The light absorption anisotropic layer contains a dichroic coloring agent having a maximal absorption at a wavelength of 700 to 1500 nm, in which an average absorbance at a wavelength of 850 nm is 0.24 to 0.50 and a thickness is 5 ?m or less.

  • Processes for treating a surface of a thermoplastic resin film
    Patent number: 6217687
    Abstract: A process for treating a surface of a thermoplastic resin film (i) which includes subjecting the surface of the thermoplastic resin film (i) to a first oxidation treatment, coating the oxidized surface with a surface modifier, subsequently stretching the film, subjecting that surface of the thermoplastic resin film (i) which has been coated with the surface modifier to a second oxidation treatment, and then coating the oxidized surface with a surface modifier.
