  • Patent number: 7741013
    Abstract: A process for patterning thick film electrically functional patterns using a photosensitive polymer layer. A tacky photosensitive layer is applied onto a substrate surface. The photosensitive layer is imaged with a pattern using actinic radiation, the exposed areas of the photosensitive layer become hardened and non-tacky. A subsequent application of a thick film composition sheet will cause the thick film to adhere to the remaining tacky areas. Upon peeling the sheet, a thick film print pattern will be produced. This step is followed by a processing profile prescribed by the thick film composition used which results in a pattern having electrically functional properties. The invention also extends to a process wherein a thick film composition is recovered from a used sheet.

  • Patent number: 7691554
    Abstract: An image forming method of forming a full-color image in which black can be expressed in addition to a color expressed by diffracted light. Each of plural diffraction gratings R, G, and B is transferred onto a base material from a transfer sheet in which the plural diffraction gratings R, G, and B are laminated, and the plural diffraction gratings R, G, and B are different from one another in a color of diffracted light observed in a particular direction. A black ink layer constituted by black ink is formed on the base material. Thereby, a color image is formed on the base material, in which a color to be expressed of each pixel is expressed by a combination of luminances of colors corresponding to the diffraction gratings R, G, and B and the black ink.
