  • Publication number: 20220091303
    Abstract: To provide an antireflection member which not only has a low reflectance, but also is enhanced in scratch resistance, and an image display device comprising the antireflection member. An antireflection member 100 comprising a low refractive index layer 130 on a transparent substrate 110, in which the low refractive index layer 130 includes a binder resin and silica particles 132 and 134, a ratio of Si element attributed to the silica particles, obtained by analysis of a surface region of the low refractive index layer 130 by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, is 10.0 atomic percent or more and 18.0 atomic percent or less and a ratio of C element under the assumption that the ratio of Si element is defined to be 100 atomic percent is 180 atomic percent or more and 500 atomic percent or less.

  • Patent number: 7090900
    Abstract: A liquid crystal alignment treating agent containing a polyamic acid which is represented by the following formula (I) and exhibits a reduced viscosity of from 0.05 to 5.0 dl/g (in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at 30° C. at a concentration of 0.5 g/dl) or a polyimide obtained by cyclodehydration thereof: wherein R1 represents a tetravalent organic group, at least 20 mol % of which has a fused alicyclic structure composed of two to five rings, and all of the carbonyl groups are directly bonded to the alicyclic structure and that any two carbonyl groups are not bonded to adjacent carbon atoms of the alicyclic structure; R2 is a bivalent organic group, from 20 to 100 mol % of which has in the side-chain structure at least one structural unit selected from the group consisting of C5-20 long-chain alkyl, C5-20 fluoroalkyl, alicyclic structures and aromatic ring structures; and L is a positive integer.
