  • Patent number: 9495033
    Abstract: A touch panel (20) is attached, via a reflection-prevention layer (31) or an adhesive layer, to the polarizing plate (2) side of a display device (10) having the polarizing plate (2) laminated upon a display panel (1). The polarizing plate (2) has: a polarizer (3); and a film (4) having a film thickness of no more than 35 ?m and laminated on the touch panel (20) side of the polarizer (3). The contact angle for the surface of the touch panel (20) side in the film is less than 60°.

  • Publication number: 20160209551
    Abstract: A film (6) of a glass laminate (2) is an anti-fogging film obtained by performing a hydrophilic treatment on the surface of a polymer film in which a carbon is substituted in one or more side chains of a glucose ring. The retardation Ro in the planar direction of the film (6) is 40 nm or more and 200 nm or less. Three seconds after exposing the film (6) to 40° C. steam for 120 seconds under conditions of 55% RH at 23° C., the change in haze in comparison to before the exposure to steam is 3% or less, and the change in retardation Ro is 30% or less.

  • Patent number: 8573792
    Abstract: Disclosed is a reflective mirror for solar thermal power generation comprising a metal film and provided thereon, a substrate, the reflective mirror reflecting sunlight entering from a substrate side, featured in that the substrate is a film composed of a resin containing microfibrillated cellulose. The reflective mirror maintains a light collecting ability, particularly a specular reflectance highly and stably against variation of weather conditions, when sunlight is collected outdoors, is usable over a long period of time, and has high durability.
