  • Publication number: 20130258479
    Abstract: Provided is a transfer film wherein: a low-refractive-index film having a refractive index (Nx) and a high-refractive-index film having a refractive index (Ny) are laminated in this order on one surface of a peeling film; the refractive indices satisfy Nx<Ny; and the high-refractive-index film contains an aminosilane. Also provided is a laminate wherein: a high-refractive-index film and a low-refractive-index film are laminated in this order on the surface of a substrate; and the high-refractive-index film contains an aminosilane. The transfer film is obtained by successively laminating and curing a composition for the low-refractive-index film and a composition for the high-refractive-index film on the peeling film. The laminate is produced by bonding the surface of the high-refractive-index film of the transfer film to the substrate, and then peeling away the peeling film.

  • Patent number: 8527424
    Abstract: An encrypted content and its encryption key under a copy right use condition of prohibiting a copy by the device having received a content are stored, and the encrypted content is copy-transferred with another device through the network, and at the same time, the encryption key is transferred through the network, so that it is stored in either one of the devices. Even when a high definition television broadcast signal received with a copy-once taken as a copy right use condition is recorded, an access flag that controls the presence or absence of the reproduction of the broadcast content for each broadcast content is provided. When an original broadcast content is transcoded into a low resolution, and is transfer to another device, its access flag is turned on, thereby making the reproduction possible.
