  • Publication number: 20150132542
    Abstract: The present application discloses a composite substrate with a protective layer for preventing metal from diffusing, comprising: a thermally and electrically conductive layer (2) having a melting point of greater than 1000° C., and a GaN mono-crystalline layer (1) located on the thermally and electrically conductive layer (2). At least the side wall of the composite substrate is cladded with a protective layer (3) for preventing metal from diffusing. The composite substrate not only takes account of the homoepitaxy required for GaN epitaxy and improves the quality of the crystals, but also can be used directly to prepare LEDs with vertical structures and significantly reduce costs. The disclosed composite substrate effectively avoids the pollution of experimental instruments by the diffusion and volatilization of a metal material during the growth of MOCVD at high temperature.

The multiple layers are thermally and/or otherwise fused together along all, substantially all or at least a substantial portion of the peripheral edge of at least the optical film, so as to prevent or at least substantially reduce the occurrence or degree of delamination of the multiple layers along all, substantially all, or the substantial portion of the peripheral edge of the optical film.

  • Patent number: 8927090
    Abstract: A method for bonding a first body (2) to a second, panel-shaped body (3) at bonding surfaces (2a, 3a) lying opposite each other, the second body (3) projecting in at least one direction (X) beyond an edge (2?) of the first body (2). The method includes: producing a plurality of spacers (4a to 4e, 4a? to 4e?) on at least one of the bonding surfaces (2a), applying adhesive (5) into intermediate spaces (6a to 6d) between the spacers beyond an outer spacer (4e, 4e?) as far as an adhesive periphery (5a), which is formed at an edge (2?) of the first body (2), and bonding the bodies (2, 3) by bringing the bonding surfaces (2a, 3a) into contact at the spacers (4a? to 4e?). A prescribed distance (d) between the adhesive periphery (5a) and the outermost spacer (4e) is set to provide a desired state of deformation of the panel-shaped body (3) after a shrinkage of the applied adhesive (5) (e.g. minimized bending of the body.

  • Patent number: 8927094
    Abstract: A printed article includes a base material, a first printed layer, a second printed layer, and a third printed layer. The first printed layer is printed with a first ink in a first area of the base material. The second printed layer is printed with a second ink in a second area different from the first area of the base material. The second ink is different in a property or function from the first ink and having a color difference with respect to the first ink. The third printed layer is printed with a third ink, and covers or fills a boundary between the first printed layer and the second printed layer, and has a color difference with respect to the first printed layer and the second printed layer.

    Abstract: Methods for preparing edge-sealed multi-layer film articles include applying a sealant composition to a multi-layer film article that includes at least one polymeric film layer, and permitting the sealant composition to dry to form an edge-sealed article. The sealant composition includes at least one solvent capable of softening, penetrating or dissolving the polymeric film layer of the multi-layer film article, and at least one polymer dissolved in the solvent. The polymer dissolved in the solvent may be a fluoropolymer, a non-tacky at ambient temperatures(meth)acrylate-based block copolymer, or a combination thereof. Edge-sealed articles prepared by this method can include other polymeric film layers or coated layers such as metallic layers and can be part of larger assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20140367989
    Abstract: An elongate glazing component such as a water-tray mounting profile is attached to an automotive glazing adjacent an edge thereof to extend along at least part of the edge. At least one small, generally flat reinforcing member is bonded by adhesive to the inner face of the glazing adjacent the glazing component, each reinforcing member having a contact area for bonding to the inner face of the glazing, and a flange which extends over part of the elongate glazing component and is in contact with it. The flange may be generally parallel to the inner face of the glazing. Preferably the adhesive is cured by ultraviolet light and shrinks on curing. This property may be used to compress an attachment limb of the water-tray mounting profile, thereby holding it more securely. The arrangement may be used to attach a water-tray to a vehicle windscreen without support from the vehicle bodywork.
