Patent number: 6841190Abstract: An antisoiling hardcoated film comprising a substantially transparent substrate, a hardcoat layer comprising inorganic oxide particles dispersed in a binder matrix, and an antisoiling layer comprising a perfluoropolyether. The antisoiling layer can be very thin, thus reducing the cost of the perfluoropolyether. The film has very good scratch, smudge and glare resistance and very good interlayer adhesion and durability. The film can be in the form of a single flexible substrate or a stack of such substrates. The film or stack can be sized to fit the display screen of an electronic display device such as a personal digital assistant or cell phone.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2003Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Junkang J.

Publication number: 20030044559Abstract: The invention is an article securable to an optical disc. A layer of repositionable adhesive is disposed on a backing wherein the repositionable adhesive has a higher adhesion level to the read/write surface of the optical disc than to that of a non-target surface. The backing is secured to an optical disc with the repositionable adhesive disposed against the read/write surface of an optical disc. To remove the article, the backing is peeled away from the optical disc. The layer of repositionable adhesive has a higher level of adherence to the backing than to the optical disc.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2002Publication date: March 6, 2003Applicant: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Junkang J.
