The hard coat layer 3 is a layer formed by curing, with an electron beam, an ionizing-radiation-curable resin into which an ultraviolet light absorber has been incorporated. A polyvinyl alcoholic polarizing film 5 is laminated to the adhesion-facilitating layer 2 of the polarizing-plate-protecting film 10 with a water-based adhesive layer 4 to form a polarizing plate 20.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2006Publication date: September 25, 2008Applicant: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Norinaga Nakamura, Hiroko Suzuki, Tetsuo Matsukura

Publication number: 20080233313Abstract: A set of colorants for printing a multi-colored image when viewed under non-visible radiation outside of the visible spectrum can include a first colorant and a second colorant. The first colorant can be capable of absorbing non-visible radiation and shifting the wavelength of the non-visible radiation to a visible wavelength, thus producing a visible color. Likewise, the second colorant can be capable of absorbing the non-visible radiation and shifting the wavelength to a second visible wavelength, thus producing a different visible color.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2007Publication date: September 25, 2008Inventors: Udi Chatow, Gal Victor, Galia Golodetz, Edna Mannheim, Kok-Wei Koh

Publication number: 20080233316Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a coated substrate for ink-jet ink printing. The substrate can have an ink-receiving coating on the imaging side. On the opposite, or back, surface, the substrate can have two coatings: a curl control coating and a photo feel coating designed to provide scratch resistance. The curl control coating can be nearest the substrate, with the photo feel coating coated over the curl control coating. The photo feel coating can have a contact angle greater than about 90 degrees and a water vapor transport rate of greater than about 5 g/m2/12 hour.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2007Publication date: September 25, 2008Inventors: Xulong Fu, Chang Park, Christine E. Steichen, Ronald J. Selensky
