A new formulation of treatment baths for the etching of polymers prior to metallization or coating of the polymer using known technologies described in the state of the art, which are based on the use of salts and/or complexes of the Cr(III) cation, where the formulation includes a salt and/or Cr(III) complex in which the Cr(III) is coordinated to at least one or several mono, bi, tri, tetra, penta, hexadentate or bridging ligands that are coordinated to the chromium by the oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom or several of these atoms of the ligands, such that after the polymer piece has been etched with the Etching formulation described above, the metal coating is carried out by means of the application of chemical and electrolyte baths in the case of metallization, or by means of the application of paint or another organic coating.

Disclosed are a phosphor sheet capable for converting light from LEDs into white light, a white light source device including the phosphor sheet, and a display device including the white light source device. The disclosed phosphor sheet includes a phosphor layer containing at least a phosphor and a resin; and a pair of transparent substrates sandwiching the phosphor layer. The phosphor sheet comprises a coloring material having an absorption maximum wavelength of at least one of from 480 nm to 510 nm or from 570 nm to 620 nm. The coloring material is contained in the phosphor layer. The transparent substrates are adhered to both surfaces of the phosphor layer. the phosphor layer has a thickness of 20 m to 200 m. An indicator of the usage amount of the coloring material defined by the following formula is 0.003 to 0.028: (indicator of the usage amount of the coloring material)=((blending amount of the coloring material in the phosphor layer)/(blending amount of a resin in the phosphor layer))(the thickness of the phosphor layer (m)).

Prior electrochromic devices frequently suffer from high levels of defectivity. The defects may be manifest as pin holes or spots where the electrochromic transition is impaired. This is unacceptable for many applications such as electrochromic architectural glass. Improved electrochromic devices with low defectivity can be fabricated by depositing certain layered components of the electrochromic device in a single integrated deposition system. While these layers are being deposited and/or treated on a substrate, for example a glass window, the substrate never leaves a controlled ambient environment, for example a low pressure controlled atmosphere having very low levels of particles. These layers may be deposited using physical vapor deposition.
