A display device includes a display panel including a main display surface and a first sub-display surface that protrudes from one side of the main display surface, an adhesive layer disposed below the display panel, and a thermoforming film disposed below the adhesive layer, and the first sub-display surface may include a first top surface and a first side surface that defines a predetermined angle with the first top surface.

A luggage room board includes the luggage room board main body made of resin and is configured to be opened and closed. At one of ends of a non-woven fabric, a concave portion is provided on a surface of the luggage room board main body to which the non-woven fabric is attached, and the end of the non-woven fabric is attached so as to enter the concave portion. The concave portion is formed such that a depth gradually increases toward the end of the non-woven fabric. The depth of the concave portion at the end of the non-woven fabric is approximately same as the thickness of the non-woven fabric or larger than the thickness of the non-woven fabric. The concave portion is provided at the end of the non-woven fabric on a side of the rotation center line.

A method for manufacturing a part for an aircraft seat includes positioning a heating frame around a stacked structure, locally heating an edge of the stacked structure using a heating frame, externally heating the entire stacked structure, positioning the stacked structure inside a thermoforming mould provided with cutting punches, closing the thermoforming mould and applying a vacuum to the interior of the thermoforming mould, to simultaneously perform, during the same step of shaping the first cover and the second cover, a step of heat sealing an edge of the first cover to an edge of the second cover, bonding the first cover and the second cover to the foam core, and cutting the stacked structure along the circumference thereof using cutting punches.

A method is described. The method is a continuous manufacturing method of an acoustic transmission loss panel resonator core. The acoustic panel is a double-wall panel construction with two sidewall panels and a resonator core. The resonator core is formed from a roll of film. One or more rollers form interconnected resonator chambers in the film. The resonator chambers are in a rectangular lattice shape. The resonator chambers are continuously formed from a single sheet and then bonded to the second sidewall. The resonator core is then attached between first and second sidewalls. The resonator core defines an air gap between the resonator core and the first sidewall.

A method of making a shaped abrasion-resistant multilayer optical film includes providing a curable composition comprising, based on the total weight of components a) to d) components: a) 87 to 96 weight percent of urethane (meth)acrylate compound having an average (meth)acrylate functionality of 2 to 4.8; b) 2 to 12.5 weight percent of (meth)acrylate monomer having a (meth)acrylate functionality of 1 to 2, wherein the (meth)acrylate monomer does not comprise a urethane (meth)acrylate compound; optionally c) 0.5 to 2 weight percent of silicone (meth)acrylate; and d) optional effective amount of photoinitiator. The curable composition is coated onto an MOF. Optionally, the curable composition to is at least partially dried. Next, the curable composition or the at least partially dried curable composition is at least partially cured to provide an abrasion-resistant multilayer optical film. Lastly, the abrasion-resistant multilayer optical film is thermoformed using a female mold having a mold surface. At least a portion of the mold surface has a radius of curvature of 58 to 76 mm and a maximum depth of 13 to 20 mm.
