  • Patent number: 11642832
    Abstract: Provided are a film which can be decorated even against a three-dimensional shape, is excellent in moldability during decoration (adhesion) on an adherend, is able to reduce concaves and convexes with a variety of sizes which the adherend surface has, and makes an appearance quality favorable; and a decorative molded product having the film. The film is a film including a layer containing a thermoplastic resin, wherein when a highest temperature of glass transition temperatures of the film is designated as Tg [+ C], a temperature T [° C.] at which an elongation at break is 50% or more exists in a range of Tg to (Tg+50 [° C.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8779086
    Abstract: An electrochromic material containing a ?-electron based conjugated polymer that changes from a desired color developed state to a decolored state, and a method for producing the electrochromic material, are provided. The electrochromic material contains a?-electron based conjugated polymer as shown in chemical formula (1). In formula (1), each X is any one selected from —S—, —O—, —Se— and —Te—; each Y is any one selected from a hydrogen atom and an organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; W is an arylene group or divalent heteroaromatic ring group; and n is a number of 2 to 1,000. Repetition of this structure forms a structure of random copolymers, graft copolymers, block copolymers and/or dendrimers.

  • Patent number: 8519150
    Abstract: Provided are a ?-electron conjugated polymer having a constitutional unit represented by general formula (2) that is suitable as an electrochromic material that changes from a desired colored state to a decolored state, a new compound that is a raw material of the polymer, and a method for producing the polymer: wherein each X independently represents one selected from the group consisting of an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, —NH—, and —NR1— (wherein R1 is an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or an optionally substituted aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms); each Y independently represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; each Z independently represents one selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and optionally substituted organic groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and W is one selected from the group consisting of an ethynylene group, an optionally substituted ethenylene group, optionally substituted arylene groups, and optionally substituted divalent heteroaromati

  • Patent number: 8233211
    Abstract: An electrochromic display device including a substrate including a dividing wall and a concave portion surrounded by the dividing wall, a first conductive layer formed on a bottom surface of the concave portion, a second conductive layer formed on the dividing wall to electrically connect the first conductive layer within adjacent concave portions to each other in a predetermined direction, a third conductive layer disposed opposite to the first conductive layer, a first color-development layer and an electrolyte layer formed between the first conductive layer and the third conductive layer, and an insulating layer formed on the second conductive layer on the dividing wall.
