Also wherein the display assembly has a screen size measured diagonally in a range of 114 inches to 224 inches and a weight in the range of 90 pounds to 120 pounds and wherein the display assembly has an aspect ratio ranging from 1.67 to 1.82.

There is provided an embossed film in which the frequency of loss of concavities is smaller, the embossed film including: a film main body; and a plurality of concavities formed on a surface of the film main body. A diameter of an opening surface of the concavity is larger than a visible light wavelength, an arrangement pattern of the concavities has periodicity along a length direction of the film main body, and the difference between the rate of loss of concavities in one end portion of the film main body and the rate of loss of concavities in the other end portion of the film main body is 10 ppm or less.

The invention relates to the use of a composition for in vacuo coating of a substrate, the composition comprising: at least 50% by weight an acrylate monomer or an oligomer formed from the acrylate monomer, the acrylate monomer having the formula H2C═CHCO2CH2CH(OH)R, where R is an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or heteroaryl; and 0.5 to 15% by weight an adhesion promoter. The present invention also related to uses of the composition and methods of coating a substrate in vacuo using the composition.

The disclosure relates to a metal electrode or current collector for an energy storage device. The surface of the electrode or the current collector includes multiple blind hole-like recesses spaced apart from each other. The surface structured in this way is coated with a solid polymer electrolyte. The recesses are filled with the solid polymer electrolyte, as well as a primary or secondary energy storage device including the same.

A method of drying and/or curing an organic coating on a continuously running metal strip, includes heating the strip by electromagnetic induction in a tunnel furnace having an enclosure with hot internal walls and heating the enclosure. The heating of the strip by electromagnetic induction is coupled with heating by infrared radiation and heating by convection with a combustion gas. The heating of the enclosure of the furnace is performed by convection using the same combustion gas used for heating the strip by convection. A device for implementing the method is also provided.

A slurry application device includes: a slurry supply unit configured to supply slurry to a surface of a traveling base material; a slurry application unit including a first roll body disposed at the downstream side in relation to the slurry supply unit and configured to press the first roll body against the slurry to apply the slurry onto the surface and to adjust an adhesion amount of the slurry such that a film thickness of the slurry becomes one time or more and two times or less of a target film thickness; and a slurry adhesion amount adjustment unit including a second roll body disposed at the downstream side in relation to the slurry application unit and configured to press the second roll body against the slurry to adjust the slurry adhesion amount such that the film thickness of the slurry becomes the target film thickness.

This disclosure describes a module web coating system and components thereof including a more uniform atmospheric control pumping mechanism and gas curtain separation system. A modular web coating system may include an unwind module, any number of process modules, and a rewind module. The process modules are interchangeable and independently operable. In addition, this disclosure describes a more uniform pumping system in which process gas is removed from multiple locations or slits spaced around a process chamber and, in an example, around a process device such as a deposition source. The gas curtain system utilizes a zone between process chambers into which separation gas is injected. Gas from the chambers is continuously removed thereby operating the chambers under negative pressure and preventing process gas from one chamber bleeding into an adjacent chamber.
