  • Patent number: 8034435
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic film with an interference multilayer system applied thereon that comprises at least two layers. Said layers can be obtained by hardening and/or applying thermal treatment to a coating composition containing nanoscale inorganic solid particles having polymerizable and/or polycondensable organic surface groups, thereby forming a layer that is crosslinked by means of the polymerizable and/or polycondensable organic surface groups. The films can be used as an optical laminating film.

  • Patent number: 7473721
    Abstract: The invention relates to solid or gel-type nanocomposite material which can be polymerised, containing a) 4.9 95.9 wt. % of a soluble polymer; b) 4-95 wt. % of a partially or totally condensed silane selected from the group of epoxyalkoxysilanes, alkoxysilanes and alkylalkoxysilanes, the silane having an inorganic condensation degree of between 33-100% and an organic conversion degree of between 0-95%; c) 0-60 wt. % of an acrylate; d) 0.1-50 wt. % of surface modified nanometric particles selected from the group of oxides, sulphides, selenides, tellurides, halogenides, carbides, arsenides, antimonides, nitrides, phosphides, carbonates, carboxylates, phosphates, sulphates, silicates, titanates, zirconates, aluminates, stannates, plumbates and a mixed oxides; e) 0-50 wt.-% of a plasticizer; f) 0-5 wt.

  • Patent number: 7431858
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for microstructuring electronic components, which yields high resolutions (?200 nm) at a good aspect ratio while being significantly less expensive than photolithographic methods. The inventive method comprises the following steps: i) a planar unhardened sol film of a nanocomposite composition according to claim 1 is produced; ii) a target substrate consisting of a bottom coat (b) and a support (c) is produced; iii) sol film material obtained in step i) is applied to the bottom coat (b) obtained in step ii) by means of a microstructured transfer embossing stamp; iv) the applied sol film material is hardened; v) the transfer embossing stamp is separated, whereby an embossed microstructure is obtained as a top coat (a).

  • Publication number: 20070025121
    Abstract: A surface light source comprising a light emitting part (11) consisting of a single spot light source, and a light guide plate (12), wherein a reflection plane (13) is provided on the back side of the light guide plate and a prism pattern (15) is also provided. A directional light diffusion film (14) consisting of at least two light scattering/transmitting phases having different refractive indexes, where one phase having a larger refractive index includes a large number of regions having a columnar structure extending in the thickness direction of the film and the columnar structure is inclining against the normal direction of the film at an angle of 5-60°, is arranged on the light exit surface side of the light guide plate (12) such that the scattering direction of the directional light diffusion film becomes the direction of uneven luminance.

  • Publication number: 20060268571
    Abstract: A surface light source device comprises a light emitting section (11) made of a single spot light source, a light guide plate (12), a reflective surface (13) provided on the back side of the light guide plate, and a prism pattern (15). On the light emitting surface side of the light guide plate (12), there is provided a directional light scattering film (14) consisting of at least two phases having different refractive indexes and scattering light when transmitting it. One phase of a larger refractive index includes a plenty of areas having a columnar structure extending in the thickness direction of a film and arranged to be perpendicular to a normal to the film, and exhibiting a maximum scattering angle of 10-40°.
