  • Patent number: 11701803
    Abstract: A method for producing a press-molded body of a polycarbonate sheet including resin layers (A) and (B) respectively containing a polycarbonate resin, and a high hardness resin (B) and a hard coat layer (C) sequentially stacked on at least one surface of the resin layer (A). The method includes pre-heating the polycarbonate sheet to a temperature between a glass transition point of the resin layer (A)?45° C. or higher and the glass transition point or lower; locating the pre-heated polycarbonate sheet between an upper and lower die of a mold, wherein a time period after the pre-heating is finished until the polycarbonate sheet is located between the upper and lower die of the mold is 90 seconds or shorter; and clamping the mold to press the upper and lower die to obtain the press-molded body of the polycarbonate sheet.

  • Publication number: 20220379590
    Abstract: Provided is a resin sheet for molding that has a high-hardness resin layer that includes a high-hardness resin on at least one surface of a base material layer that includes a polycarbonate resin, the high-hardness resin layer having a hardcoat layer or a hardcoat anti-glare layer layered on at least one side thereof. The glass transition points of the polycarbonate resin and the high-hardness resin satisfy the relationship: ?10° C.?(glass transition point of high-hardness resin)?(glass transition point of polycarbonate resin)?40° C. The in-plane retardation of the resin sheet as measured at a wavelength of 543 nm is at least 4,000 nm. A resin film that has an in-plane retardation of no more than 50 nm as measured at a wavelength of 543 nm is stuck to one side of the resin sheet by means of an adhesive layer that includes an adhesive.
