A decorative layer is disposed selectively between the first laminate layer and the second laminate layer. The first and second laminate layers include a thermoplastic fluoropolymer material. The first laminate layer, the decorative layer, and the second laminate layer are laminated together to form the decorative laminate, which is configured for application to a structural component.

Flexible display device

A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel bendable along a bending axis. A support backplate is disposed on a side of the flexible display panel and located on an outer side of the flexible display panel when bending. The support backplate includes a support area and a plurality of extension areas defined on opposite sides of the bending axis and adjoining two sides of the support area. When the flexible display device is in an expanded state, a difference value between a length of the support backplate and a length of the flexible display panel in a direction perpendicular to the bending axis is greater than or equal to a first threshold. The flexible display device can reduce the risk of peeling of components in a bent state and can ensure a product lifespan.

AUTOMOBILE WINDOW GLASS

The present invention provides an automobile window glass on which a device that acquires electromagnetic waves is disposable. The automobile window glass includes an outer glass plate, an inner glass plate, an intermediate film disposed between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate, and a blocking layer that is disposed on at least one of a surface on the vehicle interior side of the outer glass plate and a surface on the vehicle interior side of the inner glass plate. The intermediate film includes a functional layer having a transmission region that allows transmission so as not to affect reception of the electromagnetic waves, and an adhesion layer that is disposed on at least one surface of the functional layer and does not affect reception of the electromagnetic waves. The blocking layer has at least one opening at a position corresponding to the transmission region.

TANDEM VISION WINDOW AND MEDIA DISPLAY

Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media related to a display construct coupled to a structure (e.g., a vision window). The structure can be a supportive structure such as a fixture. The display construct is configured to facilitate media display and is at least partially transparent. The vision window may be a tintable window, e.g., a window in which its tint is electrically controllable (e.g., an electrochromic window). Various interactive capabilities with the display construct are disclosed (e.g., via a touch screen).

DISPLAY DEVICES AND ARTICLES WITH COLOR-MATCHED DISPLAY AND NON-DISPLAY AREAS

A display device that includes: a glass substrate comprising a refractive index (n.sub.substrate); a display device structure coupled to the substrate to collectively define a viewing area; and a black mask structure surrounding the display device structure that is coupled to the substrate and comprises a black ink layer and at least one glossy layer between the black ink layer and the glass substrate. The viewing area is characterized by (a) a reflectance from 0.5% to 2.5% as measured at 8 degrees from normal in the visible spectrum, (b) a brightness in the CIE colorimetry system such that 5<L*<17 for the specular component included (SCI), and (c) a brightness in the CIE colorimetry system such that 0<L*<3 for the specular component excluded (SCE). Further, the at least one glossy layer comprises a refractive index (n.sub.glossy) such that |n.sub.glossy−n.sub.substrate|>0.1.

Dry apply protective methods

A system for protecting a surface of a substrate includes a protective film, which is configured to be applied and secured to the surface, as well as a backing on an adherent surface of the protective film and an application tape over an exterior surface of the protective film. Protruding features, such as tabs, adjacent to different peripheral edges of the protective film may enable removal of the backing and the application tape from the protective film, and may include features that indicate the order in which each protruding feature is to be grasped to peel its corresponding element away from the protective film. Methods of using such a system are also disclosed.
