A method of assembling a display panel includes laminating a back plate to a display layer to form an untrimmed display panel, the back plate including a metal layer that includes a trimming path defined by one or more line segments having reduced metal content compared to other portions of the metal layer. The method further includes trimming the untrimmed display panel along the one or more line segments to define one or more edges of the display panel. For one or more locations along each of the one or more edges defined by the line segments, the metal layer is flush with the corresponding edge of the display panel.

The present invention provide a multi-layered heat transfer sheet comprising a plurality of distinct pieces forming one or more consecutive patterns that form shapes or objects having discontinuous peripheries, as well as a method for producing and/or making said item. The method for forming the heat transfer decorations includes ablating one or more layers of a heat transfer sheet using a defocused laser to define at least one plurality of discrete pieces that together define a heat transfer decoration. A single pass of the defocused laser may ablate the one or more layers of the heat transfer sheet so as to define the discrete pieces.

A polyolefin-based film comprising at least one layer permitting printing as a result of laser irradiation; wherein not less than 100 ppm but not greater than 3000 ppm of pigment permitting printing as a result of laser irradiation is present in all layers of the film; haze thereof is not less than 1% but not greater than 30%; and unevenness in thickness thereof in either a machine direction or a transverse direction is not less than 0.1% but not greater than 25%. An object is to provide a film capable of being printed in distinct fashion by a laser, that excels with respect to unevenness in thickness, and that is of high transparency, and at the same time provide packaging which employs such film and on which printing has been directly carried out.

A method for producing a sandwich panel with a reinforced foam core includes inserting rod-shaped, thermoplastic reinforcing elements into a thermoplastic foam material such that the reinforcing elements extend through the foam material. End regions of the reinforcing elements project out of the foam material. The foam material is thermoformed to form a reinforced foam core, wherein the end regions of the reinforcing elements are integrally formed by applying temperature and pressure to the cover surfaces of the foam material and are bonded to the foam material in a fused connection. A thermoplastic cover layer is laminated on either side by applying temperature and pressure to the reinforced foam core on the cover surfaces of the foam material in order to form the sandwich panel, wherein the cover layers are bonded to the reinforced foam core in a fused connection.

It comprises: a film made of a resin in which an aperture pattern is formed, the aperture pattern passing through the film, the aperture being with a shape and dimension corresponding to the thin-film pattern in a pre-established region for formation of the thin-film pattern on the substrate; and a metal member that has an aperture part opposite the aperture pattern with a shape and dimension larger than the aperture pattern, the metal member being provided as a thin sheet in intimate contact with one surface of the film on an outside part of the aperture pattern of the film. The film is mutually distanced and distributed, at a position where the film does not overlap the aperture pattern, into a plurality of divided parts on one surface of the metal member.

Disclosed herein are sealed devices comprising a first substrate, a second substrate, an inorganic film between the first and second substrates, and at least one weld region comprising a bond between the first and second substrates. The weld region can comprise a chemical composition different from that of the inorganic film and the first or second substrates. The sealed devices may further comprise a stress region encompassing at least the weld region, in which a portion of the device is under a greater stress than the remaining portion of the device. Also disclosed herein are display and electronic components comprising such sealed devices.

A laser beam is irradiated onto material powder on a manufacturing table to solidify the material powder and form a solidified layer. The material powder is further deposited on the solidified layer and the laser beam is irradiated onto one part of the material powder to solidify the material powder. They are repeated to manufacture a manufactured object. An irradiation output value of the laser beam is determined based on measurement information regarding a deposition surface before depositing the material powder or regarding a surface state of the material powder after deposition that is acquired by a camera. Alternatively, the aforementioned irradiation output value is determined based on parity information regarding a number of solidified layers that were already solidified by irradiation of the energy beam, or determined in accordance with an irradiation output value used when solidifying a solidified layer solidified prior to deposition of the deposited material powder.

Disclosed are a display device and a method for manufacturing a cover thereof. A method for manufacturing a cover of a display device comprises: (a) a step in which a BM printing layer is formed on the front surface of a transparent film, and a release film is attached thereto; (b) a step in which the release film is cut along the BM printing layer; (c) a step in which the release film attached to the front surface of the transparent film is removed; (d) a step in which an abrasion-resistant coating layer is formed on the front surface of the transparent film; and (e) a step in which the release film attached to the BM printing layer is removed.

A glass component, which has a first surface and a second surface that faces in a direction opposite to the first surface, and a resin component are adhered. The first surface of the glass component and the resin component are caused to face each other and the glass component and the resin component are layered, the first surface of the glass component being provided with an acrylic ink printing. IR laser is radiated from the first surface of the glass component toward the printing, and the glass component and the resin component are welded by a heat of dissolution of the printing.

A simplified switchable object and methods of making same are provided. The methods may include steps of applying a switchable material on a first surface of a first substrate, the switchable material having a thickness and a shape; applying a barrier material on the first substrate, circumferential to the switchable material; and applying a second substrate over top of, and in contact with, the switchable material and the barrier material, the first substrate, second substrate and barrier material defining a closed chamber encapsulating the switchable material. The methods may further include a step of applying a seal material.
