  • Patent number: 11914285
    Abstract: The present invention provides an FPD pellicle frame body in which external color is controlled so as to make it easy to prevent scattering of exposure light, to perform the foreign object non-adhesion inspection before use, and the like, and a method for manufacturing the frame body efficiently. The FPD pellicle frame body of the present invention comprises: a stainless-steel member having a transparent oxide coating, and a film thickness of the transparent oxide coating being 420 nm to 700 nm. It is preferable that a brightness index L* due to the interference color of the reflected lights from the surface of the transparent oxide coating and the surface of the stainless-steel member is 33 or less.

  • Publication number: 20230175159
    Abstract: The present invention provides: an aluminum alloy member which can be manufactured at a relatively low cost and has a light weight, and which can have high dimensional accuracy under a high-temperature environment and is less likely to undergo the color-fading of a blackened surface even under a high-temperature environment, and has excellent heat resistance; and a method for manufacturing the aluminum alloy member with high efficiency. The aluminum alloy member according to the present invention comprises: a substrate which comprises an extruded material of an aluminum powder alloy having an Si content of 20 to 40% by mass and has an anodic oxide coating film formed on the surface thereof, and an electrolytically colored layer which is formed by precipitating a metal or a metal salt on voids in the anodic oxide coating film.

  • Publication number: 20210173298
    Abstract: To provide a pellicle frame for FPD (flat Panel display), which can maintain the rigidity required for a pellicle for a large FPD (flat Panel display) even if the cross-sectional area of the frame is reduced and can enlarge the inner dimensions of the frame by reducing the cross-sectional area, and has high dimensional accuracy and flatness, and an efficient manufacturing method thereof. The present invention provides a pellicle frame for FPD (flat panel display) composed of an extruded material of an aluminum alloy powder sintered body containing Si: 20 to 40% by mass, Mg: 0.2 to 1.2% by mass, Cu: 2% by mass or less, Fe: 2% by mass or less, Cr: 0.4% by mass or less, the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities to provide.

  • Patent number: 10281814
    Abstract: A support frame for a pellicle, in which a pellicle film is adhered to the front surface of an aluminum-alloy frame body, and a transparent substrate is adhered to the rear surface of the frame body. A recessed groove is formed in the rear surface of the frame body, the recessed groove extending along the periphery of the frame body, and a vent hole is formed from the outer peripheral surface of the frame body to the inner surface of the recessed groove. With this configuration, deformation of the support frame can be suppressed when the support frame is removed from the transparent substrate.
