Abstract: Flexible displays that include an interlocking device.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a flexible display including a first layer and a second layer, a bonding layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer. The bonding layer includes an interlocking device. The interlocking device includes a first interlocking component and a second interlocking component configured to engage with the first interlocking component such that the engagement prevent the separation of the first layer from the second layer.

Abstract: Electronic Devices Incorporating Flexible Component Layers with Interlocking Devices At least some aspects of the present disclosure directs to an electronic device 100 comprising a rigid member 100A, 100B, a flexible component layer 130, and an interlocking device 110A, HOB disposed between the flexible component layer and the rigid member. The flexible component layer has at least two sections when the flexible component layer is flexed. The interlocking device comprises a first interlocking component attached to or integrated with the flexible component layer, and a second interlocking component attached to or integrated with the rigid member configured to engage with the first interlocking component, such that the engagement prevents the separation of the flexible component layer from the rigid member along a direction generally perpendicular to a surface of the rigid member.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a flexible display including a plurality of functional layers, a plurality of bonding layers, and a stiff layer. Each of the plurality of bonding layers is disposed between two adjacent functional layers. The stiff layer having an elastic modulus greater than elastic modulus of the plurality of functional layers to adjust a position of a neutral plane of the flexible display within the display layer.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a bonding layer including a support layer and discrete adhesive patches disposed on one or both sides of the support layer. At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a flexible display using a bonding layer including discrete adhesive patches.

Abstract: The present invention is a flexible display including a fluid cavity, fluid within the fluid cavity, and a strain/stress-sensitive module positioned within the fluid cavity. The strain/stress-sensitive module includes a flexible substrate, a flexible encapsulation layer, and an OLED layer positioned between the flexible substrate and the flexible encapsulation layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to durable solar mirror films, methods of making durable solar mirror films, and constructions including durable solar mirror films. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a solar mirror film comprising: a weatherable layer having a first major surface and a second major surface; regions of reflective material adjacent to the first major surface of the weatherable layer; and regions of the first major surface of the weatherable layer substantially lacking reflective material. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a weatherable layer having a first major surface and a second major surface; wherein the first major surface includes a bulk region and an edge region; and a reflective material adjacent to the bulk region of the first major surface of the weatherable layer and substantially absent from the edge region.

Abstract: A hand instrument for debonding an adhesively bonded orthodontic bracket from a patient's tooth includes two jaws, each of which includes a contact pad for engaging opposite sides of the bracket. When the jaws are moved together, at least a majority of the area of each contact pad that contacts the side of the bracket is located beneath the archwire slot of the bracket in a lingual direction in order to facilitate fracture of the adhesive bond and release of the bracket from the tooth surface.

Abstract: A durable radio frequency identification tag. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides a durable radio frequency identification tag comprising: a flexible substrate including a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface; a radio frequency identification antenna attached to the first major surface of the substrate; an integrated circuit attached to the antenna; and a thermoplastic guard attached to the flexible substrate adjacent the integrated circuit. The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing a durable radio frequency identification tag.
