A display including an electroluminescent layer, a liquid crystal layer, a barrier layer arranged between the electroluminescent layer and the liquid crystal layer to restrict migration of liquid crystal from the liquid crystal layer to the electroluminescent layer, and a first electrode and a second electrode arranged such that the electroluminescent layer and the liquid crystal layer are disposed between the first and second electrodes and arranged to apply an electric field across both the electroluminescent layer and the liquid crystal layer.

Electroluminescent displays

An electroluminescent display comprising a mask defining the information to be displayed and an electroluminescent (EL) backlight. The mask compress a layer () of physically-stabilized liquid crystal switchable to define the information to be displayed mounted in front of an EL layer () of the backlight. At least one pair of electrodes () are arranged to generate, in use, an electric field across both the EL layer () and the LC layer (). A barrier layer () is provided between the LC layer () and the EL layer () that restricts migration of liquid crystal from the LC layer () to the EL layer ().

A polymeric binder system useful for a magnetic recording medium, the polymeric binder system and comprising a hard resin component comprising a nonhalogenated vinyl copolymer and a soft resin component comprising a polyurethane having a phosphonate diester group. The binder system is useful for preparing the magnetic layer and/or backside coating of magnetic recording media, in order to provide media that demonstrate an improved combination of such as modulus, Tg, and smoothness.

Binder system for magnetic media

Magnetic recording medium having a binder system including a non

A binder composition suitable for use with magnetic media comprising:

Magnetic recording medium having a binder composition comprising

Magnetic recording medium with a binder resin of a starblock copolymer

Disclosed is a magnetic recording element comprising a support having coated on at least one major surface thereof a layer of a magnetic recording medium and a photosensitive layer which may be separate from or integral with the magnetic recording layer and which contains an infrared absorbing dye or its precursors. Information can be imparted to the photosensitive layer by imagewise exposure to actinic radiation which will either promote or inhibit generation or destruction of the infrared absorbing dye.

Magnetic recording materials provided with a photosensitive layer

An optical recording element comprising a substrate and as a recording medium a layer comprising a dye having a nucleus of general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein: each Y and Z is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and --XR wherein X is selected from the group consisting of S, Se and Te and R represents an organic radical; with the proviso that one and only one of Y and Z on each phenyl ring must be other than H, and
