  • Publication number: 20220403571
    Abstract: A nonwoven fabric manufacturing facility includes a fiber assembly manufacturing step and a heating and drawing step. In the fiber assembly manufacturing step, fibers formed using an electrospinning method are collected to form a fiber assembly. In the heating and drawing step, the fiber assembly is drawn to form nonwoven fabric in a state where the fiber assembly is heated to a melting point of the fibers. In the formed nonwoven fabric, an average pore diameter is 15 ?m or more, a relative standard deviation of a pore diameter distribution is 0.1 or less, and an average fiber diameter of the fibers is 3 ?m or less.

  • Publication number: 20200346486
    Abstract: A decorative member that is a three-dimensional modeled article comprises a sheet, a lens part, and an image-forming part. The sheet has a light-transmitting property and has a first sheet surface formed as a curved surface. The lens part is provided so as to curve along the first sheet surface. The lens part comprises a plurality of protruding lenses disposed in parallel. The image-forming part comprises a specific image depiction region in which a specific image is depicted. A minimum value of a width of the specific image depiction region is in a range of 2 mm or more and 20 mm or less. The curved surface has a first region to a third region having different normal directions and has a shape in which one of the normal directions of the respective regions is inclined with respect to a plane including the other two normal directions.

  • Publication number: 20190196211
    Abstract: A lenticular display has: a lenticular lens in which a plurality of convex lenses are arranged in parallel, each of the convex lenses having a convex front surface; a lenticular image provided on a back surface side of each of the convex lenses; and an anti-reflection layer provided on a back surface side of the lenticular image. The lenticular image includes a plurality of display image strips that are extracted each in a stripe shape from a plurality of display images and that are arranged at corresponding positions on the back surface side of each of the convex lenses, and a transparent-slit image strip that is provided between each pair of the plurality of display image strips that are adjacent to each other and that are extracted from the display images that differ from each other.

  • Publication number: 20190196210
    Abstract: A lenticular display has: a lenticular lens in which a plurality of convex lenses are arranged side by side, the plurality of convex lenses each having a convex surface; and a lenticular image provided on a back-face side facing away from the surface of the convex lenses. Provided are the lenticular display in which the lenticular image is a plurality of display image strips that are extracted from each of a plurality of display images in a stripe form and are arranged at corresponding positions under the convex lenses, and in the plurality of display images, a color density of a portion where main-image parts overlap with each other is corrected, a method for forming a lenticular image, a method for manufacturing the lenticular display, and a program for forming a lenticular image.

  • Publication number: 20110223357
    Abstract: A surface treatment method, which is capable of continuously and efficiently performing high quality surface treatment that can improve adhesion between a substrate and a functional layer by preventing oligomers from oozing out onto the substrate surface with the passage of time from surface treatment when performing surface treatment on the surface of a polyester substrate using an atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment, is provided. The method comprises an atmospheric-pressure plasma step for treating the surface of the substrate by atmospheric-pressure plasma, and a heating step for heating the surface of the substrate to a temperature exceeding the glass transition temperature Tg before the atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment step.
