Abstract: An antireflection film containing a transparent substrate film, a hard coat layer on the substrate film, and first and second refractive index layers on the hard coat layer. The hard coat layer has a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the transparent substrate film; the first refractive index layer has a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the hard coat layer; the second refractive index layer has a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the hard coat layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transparent functional film comprising a transparent plastic substrate film and a hard coat layer provided thereon, wherein functional ultrafine particles are present in a highly localized form, thereby enabling the functional ultrafine particles to effectively exhibit their function and, at the same time, the hard coat layer to have a good adhesion to the functional ultrafine particle layer; and also an antireflection film and processes for producing the transparent functional film and the antireflection film.

Abstract: A antiglare layer 12 having a fine uneven surface is formed directly or through other layer(s) on a transparent substrate film 11, and a layer 13 having a low refractive index, which is lower than the refractive index of the antiglare layer 12, is formed thereon. The refractive index of the antiglare layer 12 is higher than the refractive index of a layer in contact with said antiglare layer 12 on its surface remote from the layer 13 having a low refractive index. An SiOx film may be used as the layer 13 having a low refractive index. The SiOx film per se has excellent gas barrier property and antifouling property as an optical functional membrane and is an optical functional material characterized by having excellent moistureproofness, scratch resistance, adhesion to a substrate, transparency, low refractive index, dye deterioration preventive property, and other properties.

Abstract: Predetermined barrier ribs 2 are filled with three types of pastes of fluorescent substances 3 for R, G, and B by a screen printing method. Next, a sandblasting process is performed through a sandblasting mask 7. Thereafter, a sintering process is performed. Thus, fluorescent screens are formed on a glass substrate 1 and the wall surfaces of barrier ribs 2. As the sandblasting mask 7, a photoresist 4 is used. By a photolithographic method, a desired pattern of the sandblasting mask 7 can be used. In this manner, fluorescent screens can be formed on the wall surfaces of the barrier ribs as well as the glass substrate 1. The fluorescent screens formed on the wall surfaces of the barrier ribs are in such a parabolic shape that a discharging space defined by the fluorescent screen is widened toward a front plate 11.

Abstract: A water-disintegrable support paper material largely formed of fibrous carboxymethylcellulose or carboxyethylcellulose having a degree of etherification of 0.1 to 1.0 and a degree of base saturation of 20% or more. A solution or dispersion of that paper has a pH of 5.0 to 8.0. There is also disclosed a composition for forming a water-disintegrable coat for coating on the support, the composition being a mixture of (a) at least one water-insoluble resin capable of forming a film having a saturation hygroscopicity less than 15% at a 90% relative humidity, (b) at least one water-soluble resin capable of forming film having a saturation hygroscopicity of 15% or more at a 90% relative humidity, and (c) a solvent in which both the resins (a) and (b) can dissolve.

Abstract: Disclosed is a test strip for measuring tear production. The test strip comprises a generally flat sheet material having one end rounded to be semi-circular shaped and being printed with a folding line along which said strip is bent prior to the measurement operation. The test strip is further printed with graduation marks and a scale for indicating the amount of absorbed tear. In a preferred embodiment, provided at either one or both corners of the end opposite to the rounded end is a mark indicating that the particular test strip is used for measuring one of either the left or right eye. The sheet material is preferably made of filter paper. The test strip has no notched portion which would weaken the sheet material and yet may be folded precisely along the fold line prior to use. The graduation marks and scales printed on the test strip enable easy measurement of the length of the portion wetted by tear fluid.

Abstract: The present invention is a tear production measuring sheet that has a pair of measuring strips adapted to be used for the right and left eyes and is disposed side by side in such a manner that the strips have a common scale. Each of the measuring strips is separated from the measuring sheet by a cut formed in the measuring sheet so as to extend around the measuring strip, except for a connection between the measuring strip and the sheet.
