Abstract: A method for making an optical device includes the steps of: rubbing an orienting film so as to stretch the molecular structure thereof and so as to permit the molecular units of the molecular structure to be aligned along a first axis and to permit the orienting space between each adjacent pair of the molecular units of the molecular structure to be oriented in a direction parallel to a second axis; and forming an optical anisotropical layer on the orienting film by applying a liquid crystal film of rod-like molecules on the orienting film which orients the rod-like molecules by virtue of spatial effect of the molecular units and the orienting spaces.

The polymer is polyvinyl alcohol, has a polymerization degree greater than 2000 and less than 5000, and is cross-linked so that the C-plate has an optical axis substantially parallel to the direction of normally incident light, and so that the C-plate has a plate retardation, along the layer thickness of the C-plate, greater than 60 nm.

Abstract: A hydrolytic condensation coating composition includes a silane, an epoxy resin, a hydrolytic condensation catalyst, and a solvent. The weight ratio of the epoxy resin to the silane is 1:0.4˜6. The silane is reactable with the epoxy resin, and is hydrolyzable in the presence of the hydrolytic condensation catalyst to form a three-dimensional stereo-network structure. A hard coat film obtained by coating a plastic substrate with the coating composition, followed by thermo-curing, exhibits high transparency and hardness, and has excellent anti-scratch and chemical-resistant properties. The hard coat film is suitable for use as a surface protective film for displays, polarizers, touch panels, ITO conductive films, other optical elements, and the like.

Abstract: An improved method for preparing copper clad laminates from a copper substrate without a conventional or infrared oven. The method contains the steps of: (a) preparing a precursory coating composition which can be subsequently cured to become polyimide; (b) coating the precursory coating composition on a copper substrate; and (c) exposing the precursory coating composition to an infrared heater provided in an infrared curing apparatus. The infrared heater is selected such that it emits infrared rays of wavelengths correponding to the absorption spectrum of the precursory coating composition. A plurality of infrared heaters can be provided in the infrared curing apparatus, each can be designed to have a different effective heating length and/or operated at a uniquely predetermined surface temperature for optimum energy efficiency.

Abstract: An improved polyimide-based coating composition comprising a polyimide upper layer and a polyimide-modified bismaleimide lower layer for use as a coating on metal substrate, such as an electrolytic copper foil. The polyimide are prepared from reactions between diamines, such as p-phenylene diamine and 4-4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, and dianhydrides, such as 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride and biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic dianhydride. The modified bismaleimide can be prepared from reacting an N,N',4,4'-diphenyl bismaleimide with a barbituric acid or its derivative. A double-layered extrusion coating technique having a double-layered extrusion die is utilized to apply the coating composition onto the metal substrate. The final laminated products show improved peel strength between the polyimide coating and the substrate, as well as improved dimensional stability and surface flatness thereof.
