A mouse pad with usable double surface includes a pad main body having a first pad plate and a second pad plate stacked on the first pad plate, and a thickness of the first pad plate is greater than a thickness of the second pad plate. Accordingly, two surfaces of the pad main body have different smoothness, and a user may freely choose the desired surface to use to increase the usable convenience of the mouse pad.

The present disclosure is directed to dielectric elastomeric composites that include a retainable processing membrane, an elastomer material, and an electrically conductive material. The elastomer layer may be partially imbibed into the retainable processing membrane. The retainable processing membrane may be porous. The retainable processing membrane is compacted in the transverse direction, machine direction, or in both directions prior to the application of an elastomer material and an electrically conductive material. The compaction of the retainable processing membrane may form structured folds or folded fibrils in the membrane, giving the retainable processing membrane a low modulus and flexibility. In some embodiments, the dielectric composites are positioned in a stacked configuration. Alternatively, the dielectric elastomeric composites may have a wound configuration. The dielectric composites have a total thickness less than about 170 .Math.m. The dielectric elastomeric composites may be used, for example, in dielectric elastomer actuators, sensors, and in energy harvesting.

An assembling film, a method for assembling a display, and a display are provided. The assembling film has a photothermal deformation effect. The assembling film includes: an organic material layer, and an inorganic material layer stacked together with the organic material layer. A thermal expansion coefficient of the organic material layer is different from a thermal expansion coefficient of the inorganic material layer. The assembling film in the double-layered structure formed by the organic material layer and the inorganic material layer has a particular photothermal deformation effect, and is able to be bent and deformed when being heated, and thus can be used to assemble the display, so as to tackle the light leakage problem and realize the light shielding effect.
