  • Publication number: 20250102292
    Abstract: A thickness measurement device includes: a terahertz wave emitter emitting terahertz waves toward an edge of the second layer; a terahertz wave detector detecting, with reference to a reflected location of the terahertz waves, a first terahertz wave (R1) reflected from a surface of the second layer, a second terahertz wave (R2) reflected from an exposed surface of the first layer, and a third terahertz wave (R3) reflected from an interface between the first layer and the second layer; and a calculator calculating an index of refraction of the second layer based on a detection time difference (?t1) between a detection time of the first terahertz wave (R1) and a detection time of the second terahertz wave (R2) and a detection time difference (?t2) between the detection time of the first terahertz wave (R1) and a detection time of the third terahertz wave (R3).

  • Patent number: 12055378
    Abstract: A thickness measuring device of the present invention includes a supporter which supports a specimen, an emission unit which emits an electromagnetic wave in a direction toward the specimen, a chamber which surrounds the specimen, a receiving unit which receives an electromagnetic wave output in a direction in which the chamber is positioned, and a control unit which receives a signal from the receiving unit and calculates a thickness of the specimen. At least a part of the chamber transmits a part of the electromagnetic wave and reflects the remaining part of the electromagnetic wave. The receiving unit receives a first electromagnetic wave having a first peak and a second electromagnetic wave having a second peak. The first peak occurs at a first time point, the second peak occurs at a second time point, and a difference between the first time point and the second time point is a first period or more.

  • Patent number: 5281365
    Abstract: An antistatic coating composition, a manufacturing process thereof, and an antistatic and non-glare picture display screen are disclosed. The manufacturing process for the antistatic coating composition comprises steps of forming a silicate solution by partially hydrolysing a silicate substance, forming a conductive solution containing a conductive material which is formed by doping a molecular water-containing oxide or hydroxide of a soluble inorganic compound with an inorganic second compound, the second inorganic compound and the soluble inorganic compound being different, mixing the silicate solution and the conductive solution, and subjecting the mixture to a hydrolysis and to a polycondensation. According to the present invention, the antistatic and non-glare effects are greatly promoted.
