  • Publication number: 20090133922
    Abstract: A light transmitting conductive film formed by patterning a conductive metal part and a visible light transmitting part on a transparent support, wherein the conductive metal part is made up of mesh-forming thin lines of from 1 ?m to 40 ?m size and the mesh pattern continues for 3 m or longer. A method of producing a display filter wherein the end sections of at least two sides facing each other are in a mesh shape, which comprises using an electromagnetic wave shielding material (C), wherein a conductive layer (B) having the conductive parts being in the mesh shape of the geometric pattern is formed on one face of a polymer film (A) continuously in the machine direction of the polymer film (A), and cutting the mesh-like parts.

  • Publication number: 20070071970
    Abstract: A laminate which can easily attain safety standards such as impact resistance, while cost reduction is aimed for, for example, when the laminate is provided on a display viewing surface, and a display apparatus using this laminate are provided. By using a filter for a display having a specified parameter and a specified thickness, the impact resistance is enhanced. By using the filter for the display containing a transparent adhesive layer having a specified Young's modulus and a specified thickness, the impact resistance is enhanced. By using the filter for the display containing a transparent resin layer having a specified Young's modulus and a specified thickness, the impact resistance is enhanced. By using the filter for the display containing an impact absorption layer having a specified penetration and a specified thickness, the impact resistance is enhanced.
