Abstract: An optically isotropic film of an aromatic polyethersulfone, which is useful as a substrate for a liquid crystal display device, and an optically anisotropic, uniaxially oriented film of an aromatic polyethersulfone, which is useful as a phase difference plate for a liquid crystal display device. The optically isotropic film is produced by casting an aromatic polyethersulfone solution composition comprising 15 to 40 parts by weight of a solvent which contains at least 60% by weight of 1,3-dioxolane and can dissolve an aromatic polyethersulfone and 10 parts by weight of the aromatic polyethersulfone, on a substrate, and heating the cast solution composition containing a solvent to evaporate the solvent off.

Abstract: An acylated cellulose film having a high optical isotropy and uniformity is produced by dissolving an acylated cellulose in a solvent substantially free from water and including, as a principal component, 1,3-dioxolane in a ratio in weight of the acylated cellulose to the solvent of 10/250 to 10/15; spreading the acylated cellulose solution on a film-forming surface of a support; and drying, for example, initially drying the spread solution layer on film-forming surface so as to reduce the content of the residual solvent in the resultant film to 5 to 30% by weight; removing the resultant residual solvent-containing film from the film-forming surface; and finally drying the removed film, while allowing the film to shrink in the transversal direction thereof, at a drying temperature controlled continuously or intermittently to a level satisfying the relationship (I): (Tg'-50.degree. C.).ltoreq.T.ltoreq.(Tg'+20.degree. C.) (I), wherein T is the drying temperature (.degree.C.

Abstract: A resin article comprising a shaped body of a synthetic resin having a surface, and a coated resin layer covering the surface of the shaped body, said coated resin layer being made of an amino group-containing polymer and/or a polymer containing (meth) acrylate of (iso)cyanuric acid as a constituent unit and having a top surface, wherein the top surface of the coated resin layer is chemically converted to have an anti-static property by chemical reaction with a quaternary compound-forming reagent. Alternatively, a resin article having stable anti-static properties may comprise a shaped body of a synthetic resin covered with an anti-static coating layer made of a reaction product of at least one of an amino group-containing alkoxy silane, an amino group-containing alkoxy titanium compund, or an oligomer thereof, with a quaternary compound-forming reagent.

Abstract: The reproduction characteristics, particularly the C/N ratio of a reproduced signal of an optical recording medium are deteriorated by an unevenness or deformation of an optical recording layer due to a convex or concave configuration of underlying guide means that are formed on the surface of the substrate. This deterioration can be prevented by disposing a leveling layer under the recording layer, but the leveling layer lowers the efficiency of the servo tracking. This lowering of servo tracking efficiency is prevented by insertion of a dielectric layer between the leveling layer and the guides.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide polycarbonate film excellent in optical properties such as high transparency and a process for producing it.
