  • Publication number: 20230271367
    Abstract: Provided is a laminate that is useful as a temporary support for producing a large-area, high-definition, flexible electronic device, the laminate having stably low adhesive strength between a heat-resistant polymer film and an inorganic substrate even in the case of a large surface area, and having few blister defects. This laminate has an inorganic substrate, a silane coupling agent layer that includes amino groups, and a heat-resistant polymer film in the stated order, the laminate being characterized in that the elemental nitrogen component ratio in an inorganic-substrate-side peel surface after the heat-resistant polymer film has been peeled from the inorganic substrate at 90° is greater than 3.5 at % and no greater than 11 at %.

  • Patent number: 9895868
    Abstract: By preparing a polyimide film with a face at the support side and subjected to a surface treatment; subjecting at least one of a face of the support and the face of the polyimide film which are opposite to each other to a patterning treatment using a coupling agent to form a satisfactorily bondable part and an easily releasable part which differ in adhesion/peel strength; subsequently, superposing the support and the polyimide film to be subjected to a pressurizing/heating treatment and to be bonded to each other, subjecting the surface of the polyimide film to an organic alkali treatment; and then, applying a polyamic acid solution free from a slip agent ingredient, drying the coating film and imidizing the film, a layered product having a structure of at least three layers in which at least one layer contains a slip agent material and both surface layers have no slip agent material is produced.

  • Patent number: 9604391
    Abstract: The invention provides a laminate of an inorganic layer, a resin layer, and a coupling agent treatment layer interposed therebetween, which different delamination strengths between the inorganic layer and the resin layer to form a prescribed pattern. The invention also provides a production method comprising (1) treating an inorganic layer with a coupling agent; (2) performing a patterning process to form strong adhesion sections and easily separated sections; and (3) forming a resin layer by drying and heat-treating a coated solution layer obtained by coating a resin solution or a resin precursor solution onto the surface of the inorganic layer that was treated with a coupling agent and then patterned.

  • Patent number: 8980409
    Abstract: The invention provides a laminate of a substrate, a polyimide film, and a coupling treatment layer interposed therebetween, which provides different delamination strengths between the substrate and the polyimide film to form a prescribed pattern. The invention also provides a method for producing such a laminate formed from at least a substrate and a polyimide film, whereby, using a film obtained by plasma treatment of at least the surface facing the substrate as the polyimide film, coupling agent treatment is performed on at least one of the surfaces facing the substrate and the polyimide film to form a coupling treatment layer, deactivation treatment is performed on a portion of the coupling treatment layer to form a pre-determined pattern, and then pressing and heating are performed with the substrate and polyimide film overlapping.
