Patent number: 6703130Abstract: A substrate coated with a transparent conductive film is manufactured by: disposing a substrate 3 and a target 5 constituted of alloy of In and Sn in a film deposition chamber 1; leading an Ar gas ion beam into the film deposition chamber 1, to cause collision of the ion beam with the target 5, sputtering-emission of constitutive atoms of the target 5, and supply of the emitted atoms to the substrate 3; and leading oxide gas including oxygen radicals as a main element thereof from an ECR radical source 6 into the film deposition chamber 1, to deposit an ITO film 9 on the substrate 3. In this manufacturing method, a film is deposited on a film or substrate including an organic material without damaging the organic material. The deposited film has low resistivity, high transmission and preferable flatness.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2002Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Morio Ogura, Tatsuro Usuki

Publication number: 20030203167Abstract: This invention is directed to a plastic composite comprising color images printed onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using digital printing technology. The PET layer is then bonded to a second PET layer using a thermally activated adhesive, preferably ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). The bonded PET layers are then disposed between two layers of plasticized PVB, forming the plastic composite. The plastic composite can then be placed between two sheets of glass forming the final laminated glass product.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2003Publication date: October 30, 2003Applicant: Solutia IncInventors: William Paul Bell, James R. Moran, Vincent J. Yacovone
