An optical structure with high transmittance of an underlying display and reflective properties is disclosed. The optical structure has a semi-transmittance and semi-reflective layer and may have an optical compensation layer which may allow a higher transmittance of light through the semi-transmittance and semi-reflective layer. Light from the display is highly transmittable through the optical structure to a user. When the display is off, reflected light from a user allows the user to use the optical structure as a mirror. The optical structure may be adhered to a display by a rear adhesive.

Transfer tapes include a releasing substrate and an adhesive layer adjacent to the surface of the releasing substrate. The adhesive layer includes a at least one siloxane-based copolymer, and at least one siloxane tackifying resin. The adhesive layer is a pressure sensitive adhesive at room temperature and is convertible into a ceramic-like layer by bake-out at a temperature of from 100-500°.

A curable adhesive that is particularly well suited for use in an injection or compression molding operation. The adhesive is based on polymeric resins having carboxylic acid and acrylate ester functionality, such as grafted phenoxy resin, and further constituents such as organic carbonates, blocked isocyanates, catalysts, maleimide compounds, hydride sources, and a carrier fluid. The curable adhesives are particularly well suited for bonding liquid injectable substrates such as liquid silicone rubber, or polyamides to rigid substrates, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or glass.
