Abstract:
Durable-long lived plastic films (10) carrying sputter-deposited metal layers (20 and 22) on both sides are disclosed. The slip side (14) of the plastic film is not preglowed. The nonslip side (18) is preglowed. This combination of glowing and not preglowing leads to the desired long life.
Abstract:
Anti-reflective composites (84) comprising carbon-based polymer substrates (86),such as polyesters, are antireflected by applying to the substrates one or more discontinuous layers of inorganic materials (88, 92) having an index of refraction greater than that of the substrates.
Abstract:
Seal failures on organically sealed multipane insulating window units are decreased if an opaque light barrier (38) is applied directly to the outside surface (1) of the outer glazing sheet (12). This barrier (38) should be wide enough to prevent impingement on the seal of direct light and internally reflected light.
Abstract:
A multilayer composite EMI/RFI filter for use in front of cathode ray tube visual displays is disclosed to be constructed of a plastic substrate (22) having an outer diffuse hard-coat (21) and a conductive transmissive layer comprising metal. Preferably the metal is presented as a sputter-deposited dielectric-metal-dielectric stack (31, 32, 33). The filter is especially useful to prevent interference from the cathode ray tube reaching sensitive navigational equipment or other sensitive receivers.
