Abstract: Processes for coating sewing thread using a radiation curable composition and the resultant coated sewing thread. Sewing thread is coated with a radiation curable composition, which exhibits a self sustaining cure after exposure to radiation. The composition is applied using contact coating techniques to coat and impregnate the thread with resin. The coated thread is then exposed to radiation to cure the coating. Because the cure is self sustaining, the composition more fully and completely reacts to form a coating with increased durability and reduced susceptibility to stripping or flaking during use in demanding industrial applications.

Abstract: According to the conventional technique, light discharge efficiency was improved by orientation in the direction vertical to the device plane. However, a big reflection loss was caused by increased anisotropy in the refractive index of the light emitting layer, and the discharge efficiency could not be improved as expected. Further, characteristics related to the angle of field were deteriorated by excessive directivity. To avoid problem, the molecular orientation is adjusted according to a design guideline to ensure that the transition dipole moment of the light emitting material used has the optimum direction, and an intermediate layer is provided to adjust the refractive index and to obtain the optimum directivity.
