  • Patent number: 9782794
    Abstract: Fingerprint-erasing cured films for rendering fingerprint depositions on various surfaces quickly less visible, or invisible; a manufacturing method therefor; a display or touch panel using the same; and electronic devices using these are provided. A liquid coating film including a solvent and a polymerizable resin composition curable by an activating energy beam is formed. In a state of the solvent being included within the film, the film is cured to form a cured film containing the solvent, preferably using a release material whose surface has undergone matte processing; and the solvent is evaporated in a subsequent drying step, whereby a cured film with a multitude of micropores on the surface is formed. Fingerprint soiling is rendered not readily visible or invisible. By using the cured film, there are obtained displays, touch panels, and electronic devices having fingerprint-erasability. To improve fingerprint-erasability, adding a water-absorbent compound to the film composition is preferable.

  • Publication number: 20150362948
    Abstract: Provided is a touch panel and a film body, which ensure that a region where the touch panel and a display section are in contact with each other is hard to be conspicuous and that an apparatus formed by the touch panel and a display device can be made thinner. The touch panel is a transparent touch panel which is disposed with air gaps provided at predetermined intervals between the transparent touch panel and a surface of a display section of a display device, wherein a back surface of the transparent touch panel facing the surface of the display section is provided with a projection formation layer on which a plurality of fine projections protruding toward the surface side of the display section are dispersively formed, the surface of the projection formation layer is configured to have an average irregularity height (Ra) of equal to or more than 0.01 ?m and equal to or less than 0.06 ?m and a maximum irregularity height (Ry) of equal to or more than 0.15 ?m and equal to or less than 0.
