  • Patent number: 5935717
    Abstract: The present invention provides a functional film composed of an organic film having a low heat resistance and an inorganic thin film in which functional particles such as photocatalytic particles or conductive particles are dispersed, the inorganic thin film being formed on the organic film. The functional film is stuck on the surface of, for example, a CRT display with a pressure-sensitive adhesive or the like for simply securing antireflection and antistatic effects of the CRT display. The functional film including an inorganic thin film in which photocatalytic particles are dispersed, is stuck on wallpaper or the like for simply securing deodorant and stainproofing effects of the wallpaper.
