Patent number: 11370914Abstract: A polymeric lyotropic liquid crystal solution comprises a birefringent aromatic polymer. A linear polarizer layer is obtained by shear-coating the polymeric lyotropic liquid crystal solution on a coatable substrate, and treating the resulting coating layer with a doping-passivation solution containing iodine and multi-valent cations. A linear polarizer includes a birefringent coating layer of 1.0 micrometers or less in thickness, and contains birefringent aromatic polymer, iodine anions, and multi-valent cations. An optical article includes an optical retarder layer of 1.0 micrometers or less in thickness and a linear polarizer layer of 1.0 micrometers or less in thickness, with an intermediate layer between the linear polarizer layer and the optical retarder layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Light Polymers HoldingInventors: Valeriy Kuzmin, Evgeny Morozov

Patent number: 9360596Abstract: Provided are methods of depositing polymer solutions on substrates to form various optical elements. A polymer solution may include about 0.1%-30% by weight of a specific polymer having rigid rod-like molecules. The molecules may include various cores, spacers, and sides groups to ensure their solubility, viscosity, and cross-linking ability. The deposition techniques may include slot die, spray, molding, roll coating, and so forth. Pre-deposition techniques may be used to improve wettability and adhesion of substrates. Post-deposition techniques may include ultraviolet cross-linking, specific drying techniques, evaporation of solvent, treating with salt solutions, and shaping. The disclosed polymers and deposition processes may yield optical elements with high refractive index values, such as greater than 1.6. These optical elements may be used as +A plates, ?C plates, or biaxial polymers and used as retarders in LCD active panels or as light collimators and light guides.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: LIGHT POLYMERS HOLDINGInventors: Irina Kasyanova, Mary Parent, Evgeni Poliakov, Valery Kuzmin

Publication number: 20150123911Abstract: Provided are multilayered touch panel stacks and methods for forming thereof. The stacks include refractive index matching layers to minimize light losses. Specifically, the stacks may comprise a substrate, one, two, three, or four refractive index matching layers deposited on the substrate, and one or two transparent conductive layers such as indium tin oxide electrode layers. The stack may be attached to a light emitting element or be a part of an LCD or OLED displays. The refractive index matching interlayers may be based on a polymer solution having about 0.1%-30% by weight of specific rigid rod-like polymer molecules. The molecules may include various cores, spacers, and side groups to ensure their solubility, viscosity, and cross-linking ability. The refractive index matching interlayer may have a refractive index in between of about 1.60-1.80.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2013Publication date: May 7, 2015Applicant: Light Polymers HoldingInventors: Evgeni Poliakov, Samuel Miller, Evgeny Morozov

Publication number: 20150086799Abstract: An organic polymer solution may include about 0.1%-30% by weight of a specific polymer having rigid rod-like molecules. These molecules may include various cores, spacers, and sides groups to ensure their solubility, viscosity, and cross-linking ability. The rigid rod-like molecules are selected in such a way that they form self-assembling structures in the polymer solution, which makes it a lyotropic liquid crystal. The organic polymer solution, when properly deposited on a substrate and dried to remove solvents, forms a solid optical retardation layer of positive A-type substantially transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectral range.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2013Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: LIGHT POLYMERS HOLDINGInventors: Irina Kasyanova, Evgeni Poliakov, Valery Kuzmin, Mary Parent

Patent number: 7341707Abstract: The invention concerns a method for production of microporous crystalline metalloaluminium phosphates (ELAPO) based adsorbents or catalysts by in-situ crystallisation of ELAPO inside a formed body. First the formed body containing aluminium phosphate (AIPO) and binder is prepared, thereafter the organic structure directing agent, EL source and water are added and finally ELAPO is crystallised in-situ at elevated temperature and pressure, while keeping the shape and size of the formed body.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2003Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Polymers Holding ASInventors: Terje Fuglerud, Arne Gidløv Grønvold, Rune Wendelbo, Åse Slagtern, Ivar Martin Dahl
