  • Publication number: 20240392510
    Abstract: The present invention provides multi-ply creped tissue products, and in particular embodiments creped wet-pressed tissue products, having substantially higher per-ply basis weights, such as from about 14.0 grams per square meter or greater. Despite having relatively high per-ply basis weights, the products are generally soft and flexible, such as having a softness value (measured as TS7) less than about 10.0 and a Stiffness Index less than about 20.0. While being soft and flexible, the tissue products are durable enough to withstand use, such as having a geometric mean tensile (GMT) greater than about 1,000 g/3?.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7121692
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a plurality of point light source generators, a diffusing plate installed on the plurality of point light source generators for scattering the light generated by the plurality of point light source generators, and a diffusing sheet installed above the diffusing plate for diffusing the light emitted from the diffusing plate.

  • Patent number: 6861015
    Abstract: A method of integrally forming light-guide board and polarizer. A polarizer and a mold with a first space and a second space are provided. The polarizer is fixed in the first space. A light-guide material is injected into the second space. By curing the light-guide material, a light-guide board is formed, and the polarizer and the light-guide are integrated together.
