  • Lamination device method for flexographic plate manufacturing
    Patent number: 7807001
    Abstract: An apparatus and related method for laminating a masking film onto a pre-press flexographic printing plate to place the plate in optical contact with the film by applying a balanced, non-distorting force to the flexographic printing plate and masking film. This method includes laminating the pre-press flexographic printing plate with the film mask by applying an optimized lamination force to achieve optical contact while minimizing lateral film distortion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2010
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Gregory L. Zwadlo, Peter A. Stolt, Christopher G. Staudt, Christopher M. Muir, Bradley S. Bush, Randy E. Armbruster

  • FORMING THIN FILM TRANSISTORS USING ABLATIVE FILMS
    Publication number: 20090155963
    Abstract: An ablative film arranged in a stack having a flexible substrate disposed in the stack; an active layer, disposed in the stack, including at least a semiconductor material; and at least one ablative layer, disposed in the stack over the active layer, that is removable by image wise exposure to radiation from the top side of the stack.
