  • Publication number: 20230244020
    Abstract: The multilayer structure used to be deformed by bending with a first member outside, includes the first member, a first adhesive layer, a second member having one surface joined to one surface of the first member at least via the first adhesive layer, a second adhesive layer, and a first structure having one surface joined to the other surface of the second member at least via the second adhesive layer. The first structure includes a third member on a surface in contact with the second adhesive layer, including, on a surface in contact with the second adhesive layer, a layer that is likely to be broken when deformed. Hardness of each of the first and second adhesive layer is determined such that when the multilayer structure is deformed, the extension of the layer likely to be broken is reduced to a value lower than the tensile breaking extension thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220050228
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer-including transparent electrically conductive sheet 2 includes a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, a hard coat layer 4 disposed on a one surface 32 in a thickness direction of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, a transparent electrically conductive layer 5 disposed on a one surface 42 in the thickness direction of the hard coat layer 4, and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 disposed on the one surface 42 in the thickness direction of the hard coat layer 4 so as to cover the transparent electrically conductive layer 5. In a first direction, each of both edge surfaces 43 of the hard coat layer 4 is disposed inside with respect to each of both edge surfaces 33 of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, and is disposed inside with respect to each of both edge surfaces 63 of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6.

  • Publication number: 20210357061
    Abstract: A flexible image display device includes a window member, a first member, a first laminate or a first touch-sensor-equipped panel member, and a plurality layers of tacky members. The first laminate is a laminate of a second member and a member 3A (including a panel member). When the first laminate is included, one of the first and second members is an optical film, and the other is an optical film or a touch sensor. The plurality layers of tacky members at least include three layers each disposed between the members. When the first touch-sensor-equipped panel member is included, the first member is an optical film, and the plurality layers of tacky members at least include two layers each disposed between the members. E0×T0?0.32 (E0: elastic modulus (GPa) of the window member, T0: thickness (mm) of the window member).

  • Publication number: 20210354429
    Abstract: A decorated laminate includes: a first member; a second member; and a tacky member sandwiched therebetween; and a decoration layer in contact with the tacky member. The first member is disposed closer to a viewing side than the second member. The first member and the second member do not include the tacky member. Where L10 is a position in a lamination direction of an interface between the first member and the tacky member at a center of the first member, L11 is a position in the lamination direction of a surface of the first member on the viewing side at the center, and L12 is a position closest to the viewing side of a portion of the first member that opposes the decoration layer, a height A1 from L10 to L11 and a height B1 from L10 to L12 satisfy a condition of A1<B1.

  • Publication number: 20210349245
    Abstract: An optical member is arranged on a viewer-side of an image display panel. The optical member includes a circular polarizing plate having a first principal surface and a second principal surface, and a patterned light reflection layer arranged on a first principal surface-side of the circular polarizing plate. The circular polarizing plate is configured such that light incident from a second principal surface-side to a first principal surface-side is emitted as circular polarized light. The light reflection layer has a light-shielding property, and is configured to reflect light from a circular polarizing plate-side with fixed-end reflection.

  • Patent number: 8454404
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sealed panel having a first substrate and a second substrate, including: a melting step of melting a sealing material which does not contain a binder for making the sealing material into paste form; a coating step of applying the melted sealing material onto a surface of the second substrate; and a sealing step of laminating the first substrate and the second substrate via the sealing material applied onto the surface of the second substrate.
