Disclosed is a process and apparatus for formation of high quality plastic sheet in a continuous fashion, wherein the plastic sheet produced is capable of use in a variety of optical and electronic display applications.

Process and apparatus for forming plastic sheet

A film of the present invention is an oriented film having a light-scattering property varying with an incident angle and is useful e.g. as a viewing angle improvement film effective for improving the picture quality of a liquid crystal display device, especially for expanding the viewing angle. This oriented film is composed of a thermoplastic polymer and contains a number of micro voids participating in the above scattering property in the film. It can be produced by uniaxially drawing a film composed of a thermoplastic polymer under temperature and draw-ratio conditions to form grooves on the surface of the film perpendicular to the drawing direction.

This invention provides an optical laminar structure having an optically selective transmitting function accordant with light wavelength, whereby it is capable of having high transmittance for visible ray and low transmittance for near infrared ray and infrared ray, so that said optical laminar structure can be offered at a low price to expand its applications not only in special optical lines but also in general glazing use.

Optical laminar structure

A selectively light transmission sheet composed of two selectively light transmitting structures, one comprising a single or separate two metal layers (A) and a single or separate two dielectric layers (B), another comprising an organic polymer layer (C) containing a near infrared ray absorbent.

Heat wave-reflective or electrically conductive laminated structure

A heat wave-reflective or electrically conductive laminated structure composed of (A) a shaped solid substrate, (B) a transparent thin layer having a high refractive index in contact with said substrate (A), (C) a transparent heat wave-reflective layer of an electrically conductive metal in contact with said layer (B), and (D) optionally, a transparent thin layer having a high refractive index (D') in contact with said layer (C) and a transparent top layer (D') in contact with said transparent thin layer (D'); characterized in that said layer (C) is a layer composed of Ag and Au in which the amount of Au is 3 to 30% by weight based on the total weight of Ag and Au.

A half cell using a halide salt of N,N'-bis(substituted phenyl)-4,4'-dipyridyl as the cathode depolarizer has higher discharge voltage than those conventional cells using other organic compounds. Moreover, the primary cells or the secondary batteries therefrom have higher energy density and flatter discharge curves and thus they are very useful as compact and light cells or batteries. 2,4-Dinitrophenyl and 4-cyanophenyl are preferable as the substituted phenyl group.
