  • Patent number: 8956731
    Abstract: A gas barrier sheet comprising a substrate, an anchor film formed on one surface of the substrate, and a gas barrier film formed on the anchor film, the anchor film comprising a siloxane polymer composed of a siloxane compound and a compound A having in its molecule a functional group that can react with hydroxyl group in the siloxane compound, the gas barrier film being a SiNxOy film (x=0.5-1.5, y=0.15-1). The gas barrier sheet has good transparency and high heat resistance, hardly curls, and is excellent in hard coating property, in gas-barrier properties and in the adhesion between its constituent films. Particularly, the gas barrier sheet remains uncurled and retains its gas-barrier properties even after it has undergone a heat cycle test which is carried out to test the durability of an organic EL display or the like.

  • Patent number: 8197942
    Abstract: There is provided a gas barrier sheet that has high productivity, good gas barrier properties, and anticurling properties. In particular, a gas barrier sheet is provided that, even after a heat cycle test which is performed as a durability test for organic EL displays and the like, can suppress the occurrence of curling and can maintain gas barrier properties. The gas barrier sheet comprises a gas barrier film 3 provided on a base material 2. The gas barrier film 3 is an SiNxOy film, wherein x=0.5 to 1.5 and y=0.25 to 1, has an absorption intensity of IR absorption (830 cm?1 to 840 cm?1), corresponding to an Si—N bond, per unit thickness of 0.5×10?3/nm to 1.8×10?3/nm and has a refractive index of 1.7 to 2.1.
