  • Patent number: 11203704
    Abstract: Hot melt processable adhesive compositions to mask electronic components include at least one block copolymer, at least one tackifying resin, at least one semi-crystalline polyolefin polymer, at least one plasticizer, and at least one anti-oxidant. The adhesive composition is a hot melt processable pressure sensitive adhesive composition that is thermally stable, such that the composition when disposed on a surface withstands heating to 260° C. without degradation or flowing, remains optically transparent, and after heating to 260° C. remains cleanly removable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 21, 2021

  • Patent number: 9889461
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a display panel substrate assembly and an apparatus and method for forming a display panel substrate assembly, wherein the substrate assembly includes a first substrate and a second substrate. At least one of the first substrate and the second substrate is optically clear. The method includes the steps of screen printing a non-sag adhesive composition onto a surface of the first substrate, bringing the non-sag adhesive composition into contact with a surface of the second substrate in an environment having a pressure of less than or equal to about 5000 pascals, and curing the non-sag adhesive composition to yield an adhesive layer. The non-sag adhesive composition is of a type which is optically clear after curing.

  • Patent number: 9169422
    Abstract: A method for making an optical assembly is disclosed. The method involves disposing a liquid optically clear composition with a coating head. The liquid optically clear composition is disposed onto a target substrate to form an optically clear adhesive layer for adhering elements in an optical assembly. The optical assembly includes a display panel bonded to another optical component and may be used in a display device.

  • Publication number: 20150037593
    Abstract: There is a method for forming a laminated product having a first substrate and a second substrate. The method may comprise applying a liquid adhesive on a surface of the first substrate for bonding the first substrate to the second substrate. The liquid adhesive located on a circumferential periphery of the first substrate for limiting movement of the liquid adhesive within the circumferential adhesive wall structure. Pressure may be applied on a bond area between the first substrate and the second substrate in a vacuum environment to incrementally increase the bond area between the first substrate and the second substrate to incrementally bond the first substrate to the second substrate. The liquid adhesive may be cured to bond the first and second substrates.
