  • LAMINATE FILM HAVING OPTICAL BRIGHTENER
    Publication number: 20070160832
    Abstract: A thermal laminating film includes a substrate layer and a thermally-activated adhesive layer. A full spectrum optical brightener is coupled with at least one of the substrate layer and the adhesive layer to counteract any coloration present in the substrate and/or adhesive and reduce color shift for colors displayed on the sheet material or other object laminated with the film.

  • Light management film and its preparation and use
    Publication number: 20060071362
    Abstract: A light management film includes a first layer with a thermoplastic resin and a particular phosphonium sulfonate salt, and a second layer formed from a curable composition and having a refractive index of at least 1.5. The light management film exhibits reduced static electricity build-up and reduced dust attraction, making it easier to handle during fabrication of display devices such as the flat panel displays of laptop computers.
