20140232960 | ELECTRONICALLY SWITCHABLE PRIVACY FILM AND DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING SAME - An electronically switchable privacy films suitable for use in display devices are described. The electronically switchable privacy film comprises a pair of mutually opposing transparent electrodes; an optically transparent microstructured layer disposed between the transparent electrodes, the microstructured layer comprising a plurality of microstructured ribs extending across a surface thereof such that the microstructured ribs form an alternating series of ribs and channels; and electronically switchable material disposed in the channels, the electronically switchable material being capable of modulation between high and low absorption states upon application of an electric field across the transparent electrodes. | 08-21-2014 |
20150079313 | VACUUM GLAZING PILLARS FOR INSULATED GLASS UNITS - Vacuum insulated glass units having layered pillars. The glass units include two glass panes and an edge seal between the glass panes with a substantial vacuum gap between them. A plurality of pillars are located between the glass panes as spacers to maintain the vacuum gap. The pillars have a sintered ceramic, alpha alumina, or zirconia body with a tapered sidewall and a functional layer on a surface of the body. | 03-19-2015 |
20150079363 | VACUUM GLAZING PILLARS DELIVERY FILMS AND METHODS FOR INSULATED GLASS UNITS - Pillar delivery films for vacuum insulated glass units. The delivery films include a support film or pocket tape, a sacrificial material on the support film, and a plurality of pillars. The pillars are at least partially embedded in the sacrificial material or formed within sacrificial material molds, and the sacrificial material is capable of being removed while leaving the pillars substantially intact. In order to make an insulated glass unit, the delivery films are laminated to a receptor such as a glass pane, and the support film and sacrificial material are removed to leave the pillars remaining on the glass. | 03-19-2015 |
20150202834 | LAMINATION TRANSFER FILMS FOR FORMING ANTIREFLECTIVE STRUCTURES - Transfer films, articles made therewith, and methods of making and using transfer films that include antireflective structures are disclosed. | 07-23-2015 |
20150207107 | LAMINATION TRANSFER FILMS FOR FORMING ARTICLES WITH ENGINEERED VOIDS - Transfer films, articles made therewith, and methods of making and using transfer films to form bridged nanostructures are disclosed. | 07-23-2015 |
20160064696 | THERMALLY-ASSISTED SELF-ASSEMBLY METHOD OF NANOPARTICLES AND NANOWIRES WITHIN ENGINEERED PERIODIC STRUCTURES - Methods for transferring nanoparticles and nanowires to permanent glass receptors using transfer films. The transfer films include nanoparticles within a sacrificial material having a structured backfill layer on a substrate and a nanowire formulation between sacrificial substrates. To transfer the nanoparticles, the transfer film is laminated to a glass receptor, the substrate is removed, and the sacrificial material is baked-out to leave the nanoparticles aligned within the structured surface of the backfill layer on the glass receptor. To transfer the nanowires, the transfer film is laminated to a glass receptor, and the sacrificial substrates are baked-out to leave the nanowires aligned on the glass receptor. | 03-03-2016 |
20160087246 | METHODS OF FORMING TRANSFER FILMS - Methods of making transfer films to form bridged nanostructures are disclosed. The methods include applying a thermally stable backfill layer to a structured surface of a sacrificial template layer. | 03-24-2016 |
20160096316 | METHODS OF MAKING ARTICLES USING STRUCTURED TAPES - Methods of making articles using structured tapes are disclosed. The structured tapes may include a structured template layer having a structured surface and an opposed second surface and an uncured backfill layer, the uncured backfill layer has a lower refractive index than the structured template layer, and the uncured backfill layer has a structured surface conforming to the structured surface of the structured template layer and an opposed second surface. The structured tapes may include a structured template layer having a structured surface and an opposed second surface and an uncured backfill layer, the uncured backfill layer has a higher refractive index than the structured template layer, and the uncured backfill layer has a structured surface conforming to the structured surface of the structured template layer and an opposed second surface. The structure tapes may be laminated via the uncured backfill layer to a receptor substrate to form an article. | 04-07-2016 |
20160104851 | OLED DEVICES INCLUDING STRUCTURED BACKFILL LAYER AND PLANARIZATION LAYER - Organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices are disclosed that include a first layer; a backfill layer having a structured first side and a second side; a planarization layer having a structured first side and a second side; and a second layer; wherein the second side of the backfill layer is coincident with and adjacent to the first layer, the second side of the planarization layer is coincident with and adjacent to the second layer, the structured first side of the backfill layer and structured first side of the planarization layer form a structured interface, the refractive index of the backfill layer is index matched to the first layer, and the refractive index of the planarization layer is index matched to the second layer. | 04-14-2016 |
