  • Patent number: 11300712
    Abstract: A laminate includes a shock absorbing layer, a support, and a hard coat layer, in which the shock absorbing layer has a maximum value of tan ? in a frequency range of 104 to 1013 Hz at 25° C. The tan ? is a ratio of a loss modulus with respect to a storage modulus.

  • Publication number: 20210397011
    Abstract: Objects are to provide a projection-image-displaying laminate film that enables, when used for, for example, a HUD, displaying of undistorted projection images of high-quality screen images, a laminated glass using the projection-image-displaying laminate film, and an image display system using the laminated glass. The objects are achieved with a projection-image-displaying laminate film including a half-mirror film including a selective reflection layer configured to wavelength-selectively reflect light, and a heat-sealing layer disposed on one surface of the half-mirror film, wherein the half-mirror film has a stiffness at 25° C. of 4.0 N·mm or less, and the heat-sealing layer has a thickness of 40 ?m or less, contains a thermoplastic resin, and has a surface opposite from the half-mirror film, the surface having a static coefficient of friction of 1.0 or less.

  • Publication number: 20200199317
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a film, including a step A of applying a coating liquid containing a film-forming compound, a polymer, and a solvent onto a support to form a coating film, the polymer being at least one selected from a polymer having a fluoroaliphatic group or a polymer having a siloxane structure, and allowing a solution having the polymer dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone at a solid content of 55% by mass to have a viscosity of 15 mPa·s or more at a liquid temperature of 60° C.; a step B of drying the coating film formed in the step A at a rate at which the coating film shows a mass change of from 0.02 g/m2/s to 0.1 g/m2/s for a time which is twice or more t seconds satisfying a predetermined condition A; and a step C of drying the coating film after the step B at a rate at which the coating film shows a mass change of from 0.02 g/m2/s to 0.2 g/m2/s.
