A silicone rubber-fluororesin laminate comprising a substrate, and a vulcanized silicone rubber layer and a fluororesin layer that are sequentially formed on the substrate; wherein the fluororesin layer is formed after an epoxy resin-containing silane based primer layer and a fluororesin based primer layer are sequentially formed on the vulcanized silicone rubber layer, and the epoxy resin-containing silane based primer layer contains 30 to 80 wt % of an epoxy resin and 70 to 20 wt % of a silane coupling agent. The silicone rubber-fluororesin laminate does not cause a reduction not only in the initial adhesion, but also in the adhesion between the vulcanized silicone rubber and the fluororesin even in a heated environment, such as a hot state or long-term heating.

An additive three-dimensional fabrication process uses multiple build materials with different optical properties (e.g., color, opacity) at different surface depths to achieve grayscale-rendered images on exterior surfaces thereof.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide the following: a photosensitive epoxy resin composition that, via photolithography, can form a high-resolution, low-stress image that has vertical side walls and resists moisture and heat, and/or a resist laminate using said photosensitive epoxy resin composition; and an article or articles obtained by curing said photosensitive epoxy resin composition and/or resist laminate. The present invention is a photosensitive resin composition containing the following: an epoxy resin (A), a polyol compound (B) having a specific structure, a cationic-polymerization photoinitiator (C), a silane compound (D) containing an epoxy group, and a reactive epoxy monomer (E) having a specific structure. The epoxy resin (A) contains the phenol derivative represented by formula (1), an epoxy resin (a) obtained via a reaction with epihalohydrin, and an epoxy resin (b) that can be represented by formula (2). ##STR00001##

A transparent cover or shield of variable thickness prevents glare using particular dimensions in particular applications.

A system and method are provided for forming energy filter layers or shutter components, including energy/light directing/scattering layers that are actively electrically switchable. The energy filters or shutter components are operable between at least a first mode in which the layers, and thus the presentation of the shutter components, appear substantially transparent when viewed from an energy/light incident side, and a second mode in which the layers, and thus the presentation of the energy filters or shutter components, appear opaque to the incident energy impinging on the energy incident side. The differing modes are selectable by electrically energizing, differentially energizing and/or de-energizing electric fields in a vicinity of the energy scattering layers, including electric fields generated between a pair of transparent electrodes sandwiching an energy scattering layer. Refractive indices of transparent particles, and the transparent matrices in which the particles are fixed, are tunable according to the applied electric fields.

An intermediate transfer member (ITM) for use with a printing system, the ITM having (a) a support layer; and (b) a release layer having an ink reception surface and a second surface opposing the ink reception surface, the second surface attached to the support layer, the release layer formed of an addition-cured, hydrophobic silicone material, wherein the release surface of the release layer has relatively hydrophilic properties with respect to the addition-cured, hydrophobic silicone material.

A camera configured for a predetermined environment can be made low profile in the following manner. The camera includes an image sensor that has a light sensitive portion that can sense light from the predetermined environment. A substantially opaque mask is disposed above the light sensitive portion of the image sensor and has at least one opening through which the image sensor senses light. The low profile structure of the camera can be realized with substantially transparent material disposed between the substantially opaque mask and the image sensor that has index of refraction that is greater than an index of refraction of the predetermined environment. Accordingly, light through the opening refracts as it passes through the substantially transparent material to the image sensor.

A laminated printed matter is provided which is less likely to cause apparently white-tinged images and capable of restraining a decrease in image quality of the printed matter. The laminated printed matter includes a printed matter and an anti-reflection film. The anti-reflection film is attached to a viewing side surface of the printed matter. The laminated printed matter is provided with a frame-like region having a lower light transmittance than an anti-reflection surface of the anti-reflection film on an outer edge. Preferably, the anti-reflection film has, on a viewing side surface thereof, an anti-reflection structure with multiple protrusions disposed at a pitch not greater than the visible light wavelength.
