  • Patent number: 9507077
    Abstract: A resin composition for a light guide article-preform is described, which enables the formation of a foamed layer having a large light scattering effect on the surface of a shaped article by laser irradiation processing at low cost. More specifically, the present invention relates to: a resin composition for a light guide article-preform, which contains a resin having a mass average molecular weight of 60,000 to 150,000, and has a 30% thermal mass reduction temperature of 310° C. or lower and a difference between a 40% thermal mass reduction temperature and a 20% thermal mass reduction temperature of 7° C. or less when a thermal mass measurement is performed with starting from the state at 100° C. under air at a temperature rising rate of 5° C./min.

  • Patent number: 9097831
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plate-like light guide element (24) provided with a light incident surface, a light exit surface (242), and an underside surface (243) disposed on the opposite side of the light exit surface (242). A foamed surface layer (244) is formed on at least a part of at least either the light exit surface (242) or the underside surface (243). The foamed surface layer (244) contains air bubbles and has a recessed sectional surface including the normal direction of the light exit surface (242) or the underside surface (243). The light guide element (24) is produced by performing infrared laser etching for at least a part of at least one of the main surfaces of a plate-like light guide element material composed of an acryl resin plate produced by a continuous plate production method, to form the foamed surface layer (244).

  • Publication number: 20090213464
    Abstract: Provides a light polarizing sheet which is easy to manufacture, offers the functionality of conventional multiple sheet structures, and satisfies both the luminance and viewing angle characteristics required for liquid crystal televisions and the like. The light polarizing sheet of the present invention comprises a first polarizing lens sheet including a sheet-shaped substrate and a first lens portion formed on one face of the substrate; and a second polarizing lens sheet including a sheet-shaped substrate and a second lens portion formed on one face of the substrate, having a flat portion on its tip; wherein the flat portion of the second lens portion on the second polarizing lens sheet and the other face of the substrate of the first polarizing lens sheet are adhered using a transparent material.

  • Patent number: 5166123
    Abstract: A carbonaceous adsorbent to be used for the removal of a pyrogen dissolved in water is disclosed. The adsorbent is obtained by carbonizing porous beads of a cross-linked polymer. This adsorbent is favorably used for the removal of endotoxin in the production of pure water from deionized water resulting from the treatment with ion-exchange resins.
