Abstract:
In the present invention, a retardation film is produced by adjusting the mixing ratio of at least two kinds of mutually compatible polymers A and B and by forming the resulting mixture into the film. The polymers A and B are copolymers comprising respective two common repeating units and different in copolymerization composition. According to the present invention, the retardation film having the desired wavelength dispersion can industrially and simply be produced. Furthermore, there can be provided the high-quality retardation film capable of controlling the wavelength dispersion of the retardation at a high level.
Abstract:
A retardation film comprised of a single oriented polymer film, characterized in that the retardation at wavelengths of 450 nm and 550 nm satisfies the following formulae (1) and/or (2), and the water absorption is no greater than 1%. R(450)/R(550)
Abstract:
The waterstop used to prevent passage or leakage of water through a construction joint of concrete is shaped of a plastic or rubber in the form of a continuous-length belt-like form and provided with a water-swellable rubbery layer on at least a portion, or, for example, along the peripheries of the belt-like form, side-by-side coming into contact with the concrete bodies to serve as a water-tight filling of the joint by being swollen with water. The water-swellable rubbery layer is protected temporarily prior to use with a coating film of an alkali-soluble polymeric material which can at least partially be dissolved away by the alkalinity of the water in the concrete joint. The peripheries of the plastic- or rubber-made belt-like form are preferably in a length-wise bulged form having a bore running therethrough to serve as a stress absorber when the water-swellable rubbery layer is swollen with water. The disclosure also includes a particularly preferred water-swellable rubbery composition formed of a matrix comprising an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, polyvinyl chloride resin and chlorinated polyethylene and a dispersed phase of a water-swellable crosslinked polymer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an organic semiconductor film (10) which has a value of 1 or more but less than 10 for the ratio of the charge mobility [(charge mobility of the surface side having larger charge mobility)/(charge mobility of the surface side having smaller charge mobility)] of two opposing surface sides (11, 12). In addition, the organic semiconductor film (10) has a relative X-ray reflectance peak height of 2.0 or more with respect to the peak height of an organic semiconductor film which has the same thickness and materials and is manufactured by performing spin coating on a silicon wafer. Alternatively, the organic semiconductor film (10) has a value of 2 or more for the ratio of the charge mobility [(charge mobility of the surface side having larger charge mobility)/(charge mobility of the surface side having smaller charge mobility)] of the two opposing surface sides (11, 12).
Abstract:
The screen of the invention comprises an oriented film having a direction of maximum scattering (scattering axis) and a direction of minimum scattering (transmitting axis) for linear polarized light, and containing macromolecular fine particles in a macromolecular matrix, wherein the refractive index of the macromolecular fine particles is within a specified range and the matrix and macromolecular fine particles satisfy a specified relationship. The screen reproduces bright and high-quality projected images with virtually no moire effect or glare, and is therefore highly useful as a transmissive or reflective projector screen.

Abstract:
There is provided a reflective sheet made of self-sustaining porous sheet which comprises inert particles and a polyolefin and which has a porosity of 30 to 95% and a reflectivity at a wavelength of 550 nm of 60 to 120%. This reflective sheet can be reduced in thickness and weight while retaining sufficient reflectivity.
Abstract:
A document processor comprises an image reader for reading a document sheet to output digital RGB signals, a color model converter that converts the RGB signals to HSV signals and YUV signals through arithmetic operations, and then attaches the YUV signals to the HSV signals of individual pixels, a color detector for detecting pixels of those colors to be subjected to image processing; and an image processing section consisting of a color converter, a color extractor and an area recognizer. The image processing section is previously registered with a number of colors to be subjected to image processing, wherein different contents of image processing are designated to respective colors, so the color converter, the color extractor and the area recognizer can carry out designated contents of image processing simultaneously on pixels of registered colors.
Abstract:
A film which is a single polymer film and has a smaller phase difference as the wavelength becomes shorter. This film is made from an olefin-based polymer which has an alicyclic group in the side chain, such as hydrogenated polystyrene, the amount of the alicyclic group in the side chain being 60 to 90 wt % based on the whole polymer, and satisfies the following expression: R(450)/R(550)
