This photocurable composition is then irradiated to effect polymerization of the one or more acrylates. This method can be carried out in oxygen-containing environments. | 01-22-2015 |
20150079302 | Patterned Polarization Converter - The present invention provides a patterned polarization converter having multiple domains that can be used to convert input linear polarized light to output light with spatially varying polarization states, including domains that produce linearly polarized light and domains that produce circular polarized light based on the patterning of the domains. A patterned polarization converter having multiple domains may be used in a polarization sensor application capable of detecting the polarization state of input light. The present invention further provides patterned radial and azimuthal polarization converters, which have utility in applications such as optical tweezers. Additionally, patterned polarization converters may be used to fabricate more patterned polarization converters having the same pattern using one-step photoalignment to copy the pattern of an existing patterned polarization converter to an unpatterned photoalignment layer. | 03-19-2015 |

20160159686 | COMPOSITION FOR FORMING FILM HAVING WRINKLE STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF FORMING THE FILM - A composition for forming film having wrinkle structure and a method of forming the film are disclosed. The composition includes photo-curable agent and photoinitiator dissolved in the photo-curable agent. The cut off wavelength of light transmittance of the photo-curable agent is greater than the cut off wavelength of light absorbance of the photoinitiator. Photo-cured thin film is formed at the upper portion of composition layer at an initial time period of irradiation. By subsequent contraction, the photo-cured thin film forms wrinkles. The wrinkle structure is controlled by the relation of the cut off wavelength of light transmittance of the photo-curable agent and the cut off wavelength of light absorbance of the photoinitiator, the photo-curing rate of the composition and the thickness of the composition layer, and the photoinitiator concentration, etc., before photo-curing. The film may increase the emission efficiency of LED and OLED and the sensing effect of sensor. | 06-09-2016 |
