  • Patent number: 10583639
    Abstract: An article includes a plurality of stacked sheets. Each sheet includes a film having a first side, with a print receptive or primed layer, and a second side, with an optional release treated layer; and a bonding layer that is coated at 100% solids on the first side of the film to releasably attach a second side of a film of an overlying sheet to the first side of an underlying sheet. Each sheet is stacked upon another sheet such that except for a topmost sheet of the stack the bonding layer is in contact with the second side of a film of an overlying sheet. The bonding layer of the topmost sheet defines an outer surface of the stack that protects the topmost sheet of the stack from environmental damage.

  • Patent number: 10544266
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polyimide precursor composition for the production of a flexible board of a photoelectronic device. The polyimide precursor composition includes a polyimide precursor derived from a diamine or acid dianhydride including a structure of Formula 1: wherein R1 to R8, m1, m2, and m3 are as defined in the specification. Also disclosed is a polyimide film produced from the polyimide precursor composition. The polyimide film is obtained by applying the precursor composition to a substrate and curing the composition. The polyimide film has high transparency and good heat resistance. In addition, the polyimide film exhibits good dimensional stability because the substrate does not undergo an increase in stress even during high-temperature heat treatment.
