Abstract: An insect control sheet containing a Cry polyhedron prepared by fixing an insecticidal protein (a Cry toxin) produced by Bacillus thuringiensis to a polyhedron of polyhedrin protein is provided. The insect control sheet contains the Cry polyhedron and is used by floating on water. The insect control sheet is floatable on water, and includes a pure matrix layer 20 and a toxin-containing matrix layer 30 containing the Cry polyhedron 51 which are layered on the underside of a sheet-shaped first sheet substrate 10. The pure matrix layer 20 is composed of a degradable or water-soluble second material and the toxin-containing matrix layer 30 is composed of a degradable or water-soluble third material and the Cry polyhedron. The toxin-containing matrix layer sustainably releases the Cry polyhedron to the water on which the insect control sheet is floated.

Abstract: In a transparent conductive film for use in a transparent touch panel in which a lower electrode and an upper electrode are stacked so as to be spaced from each other by spacers, the transparent conductive film being provided on an electrode substrate of at least one of the electrodes and thereby forming the electrode, the transparent conductive film has, in its surface shape, an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) within a range of 0.4 nm?Ra?4.0 nm and a root-mean-square roughness (Rms) within a range of 0.6 nm?Rms?3.0 nm.

Abstract: A color filter in accordance with the present invention comprises an activated film layer (2) arranged on a transparent substrate (1), said activated film layer (2) having a color pattern formed thereon by permeating a dye thereinto, and a thin metal film pattern (3) formed on a portion, of said activated film layer (2), which requires the formation of a black mask. Accordingly, the color filter integrated into various display devices such as a liquid crystal display is capable of displaying an image having a high contrast. Further, a method for forming a color filter in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of forming an activated film layer (2) on a transparent substrate (1); permeating a dye into said activated film layer (2) to form a color pattern; and performing an electroless plating to form said thin metal film pattern (3) which functions as a black mask.

Abstract: The method for producing a color filter of the present invention comprises the following steps: an inorganic active layer is formed on a transparent substrate, a first color is dyed on said inorganic active layer, a resist is formed on portions of the inorganic active layer other than portions where a second color is dyed, a decoloring treatment is conducted, the second color is dyed on the exposed inorganic active layer, the resist is removed, a resist is formed on portions of the inorganic active layer other than portions where a third color is dyed, a decoloring treatment is conducted, the third color is dyed on the exposed inorganic active layer, and then the resist is removed.

Abstract: The high-property, high-precision color filter has an active film layer formed on a transparent substrate and comprised of at least one or more of active alumina or active silica, and fine patterns in the form of dot, stripe, and/or other patterns formed on the active film layer by a dye of any desired color being taken up into fine holes in the active film layer, and further an overcoat layer placed on the active film layer and having no affinity to the dye.In the method for manufacture of the color filter, the step of forming the fine patterns comprises mounting a metal mask having specified patterns holes on the active film layer, mounting a transfer sheet having an ink layer containing a dye on top of the active film layer, and subsequent heating in an atmosphere of reduced pressure.

Abstract: A method of making plastics molded articles having patterns of characters and/or symbols on their top and side front faces, wherein, after a transfer sheet having a top face pattern, a front side face pattern and a line of fracture surrounding the front side face pattern has been fixed above a key cap, the top face pattern of the transfer sheet is pressed against and tightly applied to a top face of the key cap by the use of a top pad whereas the front side face pattern of the transfer sheet is pressed against and tightly applied to a front side face while being cut along the line of fracture by the use of a side pad, and a pattern imparting machine convenient for use therein.

Abstract: A transfer printing machine in which the articles to be transfer-printed are held in a holder made of a material which does not substantially expand when heated and the articles are heated by an infrared radiation heater to a predetermined temperature. A transfer sheet having symbols and/or designs formed thereon with thermo-diffusible dye is pressed by a pressing pad against the surface of the articles so that the symbols and/or designs are transfer-printed on the surfaces of the heated articles.
