    Abstract: A method for forming a touch film stack roll is provided. First, a stack roll is provided. The stack roll comprises a bottom substrate roll, a patterned bottom conductive layer, a bottom strip layer and a top conductive roll. The bottom strip layer covers the bottom conductive terminals of the patterned bottom conductive layer. Then, the top conductive roll is patterned to form a patterned top conductive layer with top conductive terminals. Next, a top strip layer is formed on the top conductive terminals. Later, a top OCA roll is attached to the stack roll to cover the top strip layer to obtain the touch film stack roll.

  • Patent number: 7298449
    Abstract: A first transparent substrate and a second transparent substrate having such a plurality of protrusions on the liquid crystal layer side as to contact with the first transparent substrate are so fixed by means of a sealant that they bend convexly to the liquid crystal layer. Thus, it is possible to suppress the mura defect of a panel, which might otherwise be caused by the heat radiation from a back light when a liquid crystal display apparatus is driven.

  • Patent number: 6122021
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display element comprises a pair of substrates provided with electrodes and a liquid crystal and solidified matrix composite material, disposed between the pair of substrates, which includes a nematic liquid crystal dispersed and held in a solidified matrix, the nematic liquid crystal being such that the refractive index of the liquid crystal is changed depending on states of applying a voltage wherein in a state, the refractive index of the liquid crystal substantially coincides with that of the solidified matrix to thereby pass light, and in the other state, the former does not coincide with the latter to thereby cause the scattering of light, wherein the refractive index anisotropy .DELTA.n of the liquid crystal used is 0.18 or higher, and the dielectric anisotropy .DELTA..epsilon..sub.LC of the liquid crystal used satisfies the relation of 5<.DELTA..epsilon..sub.LC <13.

  • Patent number: 6018378
    Abstract: A composition for use in a liquid crystal optical element, such as a liquid crystal display or laser shutter device, comprised of a liquid crystal material and a solidified polymer material. The liquid crystal is such that its refractive index is changed depending on states of applying a voltage. In one state, the refractive index of the liquid crystal substantially coincides with the refractive index of the solidified matrix to thereby pass light. While in the other state, the refractive index of the liquid crystal does not coincide with the refractive index of the solidified matrix to thereby cause the scattering of light. Specifically, the liquid crystal material used in the composition has a refractive index anisotropy (.DELTA.n) is greater than 0.18 and the dielectric anisotropy (.DELTA..epsilon.) satisfies the relation of 5<.DELTA..epsilon.<11.6.

  • Patent number: 5306651
    Abstract: A process for preparing a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film transistor wherein a non-singlecrystalline semiconductor formed on a transparent insulating substrate is annealed by laser beams, such process comprising forming a gate insulation layer and a gate electrode on the non-singlecrystalline semiconductor; implanting impurity ions into a source-drain region of the semiconductor wherein the gate electrode is used as a mask, and irradiating laser beams from the rear surface side of the transparent insulating substrate to thereby polycrystallize the non-singlecrystalline semiconductor under the gate electrode or improve the crystallinity of the semiconductor without causing the non-singlecrystalline semiconductor in a completely molten state.
