A method for manufacturing an imprint mold which can prevent accumulation of the transferring resin onto the transferring roll is provided. A method for manufacturing an imprint mold, including: a resin coating step to coat a photo-curing resin composition or a thermosetting resin composition onto a pattern transferring mold having a fine concave-convex pattern; and a transferring step to transfer the resin composition throughout the entire circumference of a cylindrical transferring roll and cure the resin composition so that a reverse pattern of the concave-convex pattern is formed throughout the entire circumference of the cylindrical transferring roll, is provided.

A transfer printing apparatus includes a mold, a stamper, a pressing roller and a curing unit. The mold has a first surface with first and second concavities, the second concavity has first and second planes, the first plane is perpendicular to the first surface, and the second plane is inclined to the first surface. The stamper having a second surface is disposed in the first concavity. The first and second surfaces are coplanar, and the second surface has transfer printing microstructures. The first and second surfaces are suitable for coated an adhesive layer. The pressing roller presses a base film onto the adhesive layer, such that the adhesive layer is integrated with the base film. The curing unit cures the adhesive layer on the base film, such that a taper corresponding to the second concavity and optical microstructures corresponding to the transfer printing microstructures are formed on the adhesive layer.

Disclosed are processes for in-mold coating of a plastic substrate. The processes include: (a) molding a plastic substrate in a first mold cavity of a mold comprising at least two cavities to form a molded plastic substrate; (b) introducing the molded plastic substrate into a second mold cavity of the mold; (c) introducing a coating composition into the second mold cavity containing the molded plastic substrate in order to coat the substrate, the coating composition comprising: (i) a polymer comprising isocyanate-reactive groups; and (ii) a polyisocyanate; (d) curing the composition in the second mold cavity; and (e) opening the mold cavity.

A method of producing a brush for the cleaning of electronic components. In this method, a plastic core is prepared and submerged into a solvent to melt the outer surface of the core. While the outer surface of the plastic core is still partially melted, it is rolled through a trough of powdered polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) such that granules of PVA melt into and subsequently become embedded at the outer surface. As the solvent evaporates, the outer surface of the core re-hardens and the granules of PVA become firmly entrapped at the outer surface. The PVA covered shaft is placed in a mold, which is then filled with a PVA solution. As the solution cures, it forms a strong bond with the PVA granules that are embedded at the surface of the plastic core. Thereafter, the mold components are disassembled, leaving behind the finished cored brush.

The separating device comprises: an actuating device (8) translatable along a first axis (A1) between a retracted position and a separated position, at least one separating element (28, 60) translatable along a second axis (A2) between a retracted position and a separated position, a transfer device (26) connecting the actuating device (8) and the separating device (28, 60).

The transfer device (26) comprises at least two links (46), rotatable relative to one another and relative to the actuating device (8) and the separating element (28, 60), and a guide element (36) receiving said links (46), said links being moved along a movement path by the actuating device (8) and moving the separating element (28, 60).

The ejection device comprises: a pushing device (14) translatable along a first axis (A1) between a retracted position and an ejection position, an ejection element (28) translatable along a second axis (A2) between a retracted position and an ejection position, a transfer device (26) connecting the pushing device (14) and the ejection device (28).

The transfer device (26) comprises at least two links (44), translatable relative to one another and relative to the pushing device (14) and the ejection element (28).

The present invention provides an imprint apparatus which performs an imprint process of forming, by using a mold, a pattern of an imprint material on a substrate, including an obtaining unit configured to obtain electric charge information on an amount of first electric charges charged on a first surface of the mold on a side of the substrate by releasing the mold from the cured imprint material on the substrate, a supply unit configured to supply second electric charges having a polarity opposite to that of the first electric charges to an electrode arranged on a second surface of the mold on a side opposite to the first surface, and a control unit configured to control, based on the electric charge information, an amount of the second electric charges supplied from the supply unit to the electrode.

A resin molded product that is applied to a vehicle display device has a surface on which a plurality of fine irregularities having surface roughness of equal to or larger than 1.0 μm and equal to or smaller than 10.0 μm and an array pitch of equal to or larger than 3.0 μm and equal to or smaller than 18.0 μm are molded. In other words, the resin molded product has the surface on which the fine irregularities causing a gloss value at an incident angle of 85° to be equal to or lower than 2 are molded. This configuration provides an effect that the resin molded product and the vehicle display device can lower gloss of the surface.

A method of transferring a flexible layer to a substrate makes use of a partial bulge in the flexible layer, which does not make contact with the substrate. The partial bulge advances to the location of an alignment marker on the substrate. When alignment adjustments are needed, they are made with the partial bulge in place so that more reproducible positioning is possible when fully advancing the flexible layer against the substrate.
