Abstract:
An assembly that includes a barrier film interposed between a first polymeric film substrate and a first major surface of a pressure sensitive adhesive layer is provided. The first polymeric film substrate has a first coefficient of thermal expansion that is, in some embodiments, up to 50 parts per million per Kelvin. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer has a second major surface opposite the first major surface that is disposed on a second polymeric film substrate. The second polymeric film substrate is typically resistant to degradation by ultraviolet light. In some embodiments, the second polymeric film substrate has a second coefficient of thermal expansion that is at least 40 parts per million per Kelvin higher than the first coefficient of thermal expansion. The assembly is transmissive to visible and infrared light.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods of forming barrier assemblies. Some embodiments include application and removal of a protective layer followed by application of a topsheet. Some embodiments include application and removal of a protective layer including a release agent and a monomer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods of forming barrier assemblies. Some embodiments include application of an adhesive layer and/or a topsheet to protect the exposed uppermost layer of the barrier stack during roll-to-roll processing. Some embodiments include application of an adhesive layer and/or a topsheet before the exposed, uppermost layer of the barrier film contacts a solid surface or processing roll. Inclusion of an adhesive layer and/or a topsheet protects the oxide layer during processing, which creates an excellent barrier assembly that can be manufactured using roll-to-roll processing.
Abstract:
The present application is directed to an assembly comprising an electronic device, and a multilayer film. The multilayer film comprises a barrier stack adjacent the electronic device; and a weatherable sheet adjacent the barrier stack opposite the electronic device. The assembly additionally comprises a protective layer in contact with the electronic device and the weatherable sheet. The present application allows for the combination of any of the disclosed elements.
