Described herein are improved thermoformed liquid crystal polarized wafers and methods of creating, and more specifically the utilization of an improved printed polarized crystal technology and wafer adhesion technology which enables the production of a polarized wafer capable of being thermoformed without a loss of alignment precision.

An in-mold molding method of the present invention is a method including: placing an in-mold transfer film in the cavity of an injection molding mold, the in-mold transfer film having a hard coating layer and a transfer section of a printed layer; and peeling, from the base material film of the in-mold transfer film, the transfer section transferred to a molding resin when a molding molded by injecting the molding resin into the cavity is removed by mold opening. The hard coating layer is ruptured in a mold opening process while the in-mold transfer film has a necessary elongation of A % on the side of the molding and the hard coating layer has a rupture elongation of at least A %+2% and less than A %+40% on the side of the molding. With this configuration, the in-mold transfer film can be stably peeled during in-mold molding.

In the examples provided herein, an apparatus has an optically transparent block having a filter surface. The apparatus also has two or more filters, where each of the filters has thin films fabricated on an optically transparent substrate, and further wherein the thin films of the filters are coupled to the filter surface. Additionally, the apparatus has an optically transparent overmold material encasing the two or more filters, where the overmold material fills a volume between and above neighboring ones of the two or more filters.

A stiffening element comprises a tension and compression member, a shear member, an attachment member, and a plurality of beads. The tension and compression member is positioned spaced apart from the skin and configured to bear tension or compression forces that stiffen the skin and prevent the skin from buckling or bending. The shear member is connected to the tension and compression member and configured to bear shear forces between the skin and the tension and compression member. The attachment member is connected to the shear member and is configured to connect to the skin. The beads each create out-of-plane feature that is positioned in at least one of the shear member and the attachment member. The beads permit the stiffening element be reshaped to adjust a longitudinal curvature of the stiffening element.

A fibrous structure intended to form the fibrous reinforcement of a part made of composite material includes a fibrous reinforcement densified by a matrix, the fibrous structure having a three-dimensional or multilayer weave between a plurality of layers of warp yarns and a plurality of layers of weft yarns. The fibrous structure includes at least a first portion having a first type of weave and a second portion, continuing on from the first portion, having a second type of weave, the warp yarns and the weft yarns having a degree of interweaving in the first type of weave that is greater than the degree of interweaving of the warp yarns and the weft yarns in the second type of weave.

A film is formed by extruding a resin from a lip opening (3) of a multilayer extrusion die (1) in a state in which a rectifying jig (10) does not cover the lip opening (3) but covers a seal part (6) while being located adjacent to each end in a longer side direction of the lip opening (3).
