Cards made in accordance with the invention include a specially treated thin decorative layer attached to a thick core layer of metal or ceramic material, where the thin decorative layer is designed to provide selected color(s) and/or selected texture(s) to a surface of the metal cards. Decorative layers for use in practicing the invention include: (a) an anodized metal layer; or (b) a layer of material derived from plant or animal matter (e.g., wood, leather); or (c) an assortment of aggregate binder material (e.g., cement, mortar, epoxies) mixed with laser reactive materials (e.g., finely divided carbon); or (d) a ceramic layer; and (e) a layer of crystal fabric material. The cards may be dual interface smart cards which can be read in a contactless manner and/or via contacts.

Disclosed is a production method of a vehicular laminated glass plate, including: a step 1 of stacking an intermediate resin film between two curved glass sheets to form a stacked body; a step 2 of degassing the stacked body; and a step 3 of integrating the stacked body into one piece by heating and pressing treatment after the degassing, wherein a minimum value of a curvature radium of the curved glass sheets is in a range of 200 to 2900 mm; wherein a thickness of at least one of the curved glass sheets is in a range of 0.1 to 2.0 mm; and wherein the production method comprises, before the step 2, a step A of deforming the intermediate resin film by raising the temperature of the intermediate resin film so as to allow the intermediate resin film to follow a surface shape of the curved glass sheet.

Methods and systems according to one or more examples are provided for laminating composite materials. In one example, a method comprises receiving a first layer material and a second layer material at a nip roller assembly and laminating, by the nip roller assembly, the first and second layer material to provide a laminated composite material comprising a main portion and at least one edge portion. The method further comprises delaminating the at least one edge portion of the laminated composite material to provide a partially laminated composite material for use in manufacturing a composite product.

A laminator applies a plastics film to an insulated glass unit 6. A conveyor system feeds the insulated glass unit through the laminator in a horizontal orientation and a reel 12 of plastics film is unwound. A perforator 22 having a circular cross section rotates around an axis transverse to a direction of travel of the unwound plastics film 8, and creates a longitudinal line of perforations in the film extending in the direction of travel and at a location outside an edge of the insulated glass unit 6. A laminating roller 2 presses the plastics film 8 against the insulated glass unit 6 to adhere the plastics film thereto, and a transverse cutter 30 creates a transverse line of perforations in the plastics film 8.

A flexible display panel and a method for manufacturing the same, and a flexible display device and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The method for manufacturing a flexible display panel according to the disclosure includes: forming an adhesion-variable back film on a non-light-exiting surface of a flexible display substrate; cutting the adhesion-variable back film along a boundary of a to-be-removed region; removing the adhesion-variable back film in the to-be-removed region; and increasing adhesion of the adhesion-variable back film to obtain the flexible display panel.

Cards made in accordance with the invention include a specially treated thin decorative layer attached to a thick core layer of metal or ceramic material, where the thin decorative layer is designed to provide selected color(s) and/or selected texture(s) to a surface of the metal cards. Decorative layers for use in practicing the invention include: (a) an anodized metal layer; or (b) a layer of material derived from plant or animal matter (e.g., wood, leather); or (c) an assortment of aggregate binder material (e.g., cement, mortar, epoxies) mixed with laser reactive materials (e.g., finely divided carbon); or (d) a ceramic layer; and (e) a layer of crystal fabric material. The cards may be dual interface smart cards which can be read in a contactless manner and/or via contacts.

The present application relates to an encapsulation film, a method of manufacturing the same, an organic electronic device including the same, and a method of manufacturing the organic electronic device using the same. The present application provides an encapsulation film which can be formed to have a structure in which moisture or oxygen flowing from the outside into an organic electronic device can be effectively blocked, has excellent handling properties and processability, and also has excellent bonding properties with an organic electronic element and durability.

Cards made in accordance with the invention include a decorative layer attached to a core layer, where the decorative layer is designed to provide selected color(s) and/or selected texture(s) to a surface of the metal cards. At least one of the decorative layers is a layer derived from plant matter (e.g., wood). The cards may be dual interface smart cards that can be read in a contactless manner and/or via contacts.

The area of a spacer that is to be provided between the adjacent substrates in a laminate including a plurality of substrates to keep the adjacent substrates apart from each other is smaller than those of the stacked substrates. When pressure is released to bring the laminate obtained by providing the spacers between the substrates from a pressed state in which 0.60 MPa of pressure is applied to the laminate in the stacking direction into a non-pressed state, an amount of change W in thickness per spacer that is calculated from a change in the thickness of the laminate due to the release of pressure is 30 m or less.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of labeling a plurality of products includes coating a pressure sensitive adhesive to a roll of face stock, the roll of face stock configured to be converted to a plurality of individual labels aligned in a single lane; singulating an individual label from the roll of face stock; and applying the individual label to a product of the plurality of products, wherein the coating, singulating and applying are conducted sequentially in a single continuous operation with a single continuous web of material.
