  • Patent number: 9971433
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a touch panel member that is excellent in terms of suppression of visibility of a transparent electrode and has low total reflection for visible light, and a touch panel and a touch panel display device having the touch panel member. The touch panel member of the present invention comprises, in order, at least a transparent substrate, a transparent electrode, and a protective layer provided so as to cover the transparent electrode, the protective layer comprising three or more layers having different refractive indices, all of the different refractive index layers of the protective layer satisfying a specific expression, and the protective layer satisfying another specific expression.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2018
    Assignee: FUJIFILM Corporation
    Inventors: Takeshi Ando, Hideyuki Nakamura, Shigekazu Suzuki, Satoru Yamada, Kentarou Toyooka

  • Patent number: 7847888
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device containing: a liquid crystal cell; a backlight; a first polarizing plate disposed between the liquid crystal cell and the backlight and having a polarizer and at least two protective films disposed so as to sandwich the polarizer; and a second polarizing plate disposed on a side of the liquid crystal cell opposite to a side on which the first polarizing plate is provided and having a polarizer and at least two protective films disposed so as to sandwich the polarizer, wherein a moisture permeability of the protective films on both sides of the first polarizing plate at 60° C. and 95% RH is more than 300 g/m2·day, and a moisture permeability of at least one protective film of the second polarizing plate at 60° C. and 95% RH is equal to or less than 300 g/m2·day.
