Display substrates having a hard coat layer on a colorless polyimide substrate are formed from hard coat compositions having certain organic solvents that do not substantially impact the optical and mechanical properties of the colorless polyimide substrate.

A present disclosure relates to a metallic film manufacturing method including a first step of forming a layer which has functional groups ion-exchangeable with metal ions on a surface of a resin substrate made of an insulating material, a second step of treating the resin substrate having the layer with a metal ion solution such that metal ions are introduced into the layer by ion exchange, and a third step of treating the resin substrate with a reducing agent such that metal particles are precipitated on a surface of the layer. The present disclosure relates to a metallic film manufacturing method a metallic film in which there are voids between metal particles precipitated on a surface of the metallic film, and the average particle diameter of the metal particles is 5 nm to 200 nm.

A method for the formation of tantalum carbides on a graphite substrate includes the steps of: (a) adding an organic tantalum compound, a chelating agent, a pre-polymer to an organic solvent to form a tantalum polymeric solution; (b) subjecting a graphite substrate with the tantalum polymeric solution to a curing process to form a polymeric tantalum film on the graphite substrate; and (c) subjecting the polymeric tantalum film on the graphite substrate in an oven to a pyrolytic reaction in the presence of a protective gas to obtain a protective tantalum carbide on the graphite substrate.

In a described example, a method for passivating a copper structure includes: passivating a surface of the copper structure with a copper corrosion inhibitor layer; and depositing a protection overcoat layer with a thickness less than 35 μm on a surface of the copper corrosion inhibitor layer.

Implantable pressure sensors and implantable electronics should be packaged in hermetically sealed modules with biocompatible surfaces before being implanted. Packaging designs should be compact and cause little to no interference with the mechanical (and optical) properties or functions of the implant. For a pressure sensor in an intraocular lens, this means that the sensor and packaging should allow the lens to be folded so that it can be implanted through a small incision in the eye. An inventive implantable pressure sensor is coated with a silicone elastomer and hermetically sealed by a multilayer coating of SiO.sub.x and Parylene C, which may also encapsulate other components, including a microcontroller or processor, rechargeable batteries, sensors, resistors, capacitors, wireless transceivers, and/or antennas mounted on a transparent substrate. This combination of silicone gel and multilayer coating isolates the pressure sensor from surrounding tissue while allowing the pressure sensor to measure pressure precisely and quickly.

A polyimide precursor solution includes a polyimide precursor having a weight average molecular weight within a range of 20000 to 80000, particles, and an aqueous solvent. The aqueous solvent contains an organic amine compound (A) (excluding a water-soluble organic solvent (B) described below), a water-soluble organic solvent (B) containing at least one selected from the group consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, N,N-dimethylformamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide, and water (C). A content ratio [(A):(B):(C)] of (A), (B), and (C) is within a range of 0.02 to 0.07:0.02 to 0.05:0.88 to 0.96 in terms of mass ratio.

With a view to simultaneously achieving reduction in sputter adhesion to an electronic article and improvement in durability required for maintenance of a film, the electronic article (10) has a film (3) which is formed on the surface of an underlayer member (1) and which is composed of a calcined and cured product of a film solution of a binder resin comprising a fluorine-based resin and a ceramic filler, wherein the fluorine-based resin is distributed increasingly more in the film (3) toward the surface on the side opposite to the underlayer member (1).

A pouch-type secondary battery and a method of manufacturing same are capable of completely protecting a metal layer from moisture or air by forming an insulating coating layer including a conformal coating layer on the metal layer exposed at a cut surface of a battery case. The method includes a first step of preparing a battery case including an upper case and a lower case by cutting a laminate sheet including an outer coating layer, a metal layer, and an inner coating layer; a second step of receiving an electrode assembly between the upper case and the lower case; a third step of forming a sealing portion by contacting outer peripheries of the upper case and the lower case; and a fourth step of forming a conformal coating layer on a side surface of the sealing portion so as to prevent exposure of the metal layer.

A display device includes a non-transmissive display section and a transmissive display section. The non-transmissive display section includes a base member including a first polyimide. The transmissive display section includes a base member including a second polyimide that has higher transparency than the first polyimide. The base member of the non-transmissive display section and the base member of the transmissive display section are connected in a connecting section. A bending portion is provided in the base member of the non-transmissive display section or the base member of the transmissive display section. The connecting section and the bending portion do not overlap each other.
