Patent number: 11472922Abstract: According to the present invention, damage such as film tearing during a rolling process can be reduced by using, as a substrate for a flexible display, a polyimide film having the thickness of 5-10 ?m, modulus of 3-8 GPa, the absolute value of out-of-plane retardation (Rth) of 200-600 nm, and a strain, at a tensile force of 100 MPa, of 10% or less. In addition, since the polyimide film has low residual stress with respect to inorganic substrates, the occurrence of defects during a TFT process is reduced. As a result, processing reliability for a flexible display can be improved. In addition, the saturated static electricity half-life of the polyimide film is controlled to be 250 seconds or more so as to minimize the voltage loss ratio of saturated static electricity and reduce the current drop during a TFT operation, and, as a result, enables a display having improved luminosity to be provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: LG CHEM, LTD.Inventors: Cheolmin Yun, Bora Shin, Danbi Choi

Patent number: 11465172Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for applying coatings on a baggy web are provided. A Mayer rod and a back-up roll engage with each other to form a nip. The back-up roll has a deformable inner layer with a surface thereof covered by a deformable outer layer. The Mayer rod and the flexible web at a contacting area are impressed into the back-up roll with a machine-direction nip width W and a nip engagement depth D, which enables formation of a coating having a substantially uniform thickness.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2018Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Kara A. Meyers, Shawn C. Dodds, Eric A. Vandre, Tyler J. Rattray, Kevin T. Grove, Brittni M. Schiewer, Mikhail L. Pekurovsky, Samad Javid, James N. Dobbs, Wayne D. Meredyk

Patent number: 11427732Abstract: An easy-to-peel eco-friendly adhesive tape includes a film substrate, an adhesive layer, and a first print layer. The film substrate has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface has a surface energy greater than 36 dyne/cm. The adhesive layer is disposed on the first surface of the film substrate, and extends from one lengthwise edge towards the lengthwise edge of the film substrate, and does not reach the other side of the film substrate. Therefore, the first surface of the film substrate close to the other side has no adhesive layer. The first print layer is disposed on the first surface of the film substrate in a printing manner, and the first print layer is disposed on the first surface of the film substrate without the adhesive layer, and forms a peeling part. The adhesive tape can be thoroughly separated from the cardboard box.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: WILL TREND CORPORATIONInventor: San-Chai Tsai

Patent number: 11238759Abstract: A combination wristband and label form. The form includes a polyester section having a single-ply wristband defined by die cuts therein. The wristband includes a foldable portion having a first panel and a second panel. An outer surface of one of the first panel and the second panel is coated with a coating configured for receiving printed indicia. An outer surface of at least the other of the first panel and the second panel has adhesive to allow for the first panel to be adhesively secured to the second panel after the coating has received the printed indicia. The void exposes the coating on the outer surface of one of the first panel and the second panel to allow the printed indicia to be printed on the coating through the void. Upon folding the foldable portion, the printed indicia is sandwiched between the first panel and the second panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Ward-Kraft, Inc.Inventors: Gina Staudinger, Roger Davis, Phil Quick, Roger Kraft

Patent number: 11232719Abstract: A combination wristband and label form. The front side has a first portion having a plurality of labels die cut therein and a second portion having a void. A back side of the form comprises a polyester section. The form includes a single-ply wristband defined by die cuts in the polyester section. The single-ply wristband has a foldable portion comprising a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is configured to accept printed indicia. A strap extends laterally from the first panel in a first direction and a tab extends from the second panel in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The tab is configured to be adhesively adhered to the strap to secure the single-ply wristband around a person's appendage. The single-ply wristband is of unitary construction and is devoid of paper.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Ward-Kraft, Inc.Inventors: Roger Kraft, Gina Staudinger, Roger Davis, Phil Quick

Patent number: 11125267Abstract: An attachment structure includes a main body and a first adhesive layer. The main body has an upper side as a first side and a lower side as a second side. The first adhesive layer is selectively disposed on one of the first and second sides. The first adhesive layer has multiple first passages. The first passages divide the first adhesive layer into multiple first adhesive blocks. By means of the first passages of the first adhesive layer, when the main body is attached to another unit, the main body can be more easily and tightly attached to the unit without producing any void or blister.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Asia Vital Components Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ching-Hang Shen
