摘要:
A method of film fabrication is taught that uses a coating and drying apparatus to fabricate resin films suitable for optical applications. In particular, resin films are prepared by simultaneous application of multiple liquid layers to a moving carrier substrate having low surface energy. After solvent removal, the resin films are peeled from the sacrificial carrier substrate. Films prepared by the current invention exhibit good dimensional stability and low out-of-plane retardation.

A method of forming an optical compensation film includes coating one or more first layers and one or more second layers onto a carrier substrate, and stretching the first layers and second layers simultaneously. The one or more first layers include a polymer having an out-of-plane birefringence (Δnth) not more negative than −0.005 and not more positive than +0.005, and the one or more second layers include a polymer having an out-of-plane birefringence more negative than −0.005 or more positive than +0.005. The overall in-plane retardation (Rin) of the optical compensation film is greater than 20 nm and the out-of-plane retardation (Rth) of the optical compensation film is more negative than −20 nm or more positive than +20 nm.

A high-CHDM PET-based support for an imaging element can be annealed relatively rapidly to achieve acceptable core-set and post-process curl properties. The fast annealing response of this material allows effective in-line annealing of the film support, yielding a more efficient manufacturing process with less annealing-induced defects in the imaging support.

This invention relates to a poly(ethylene terephthalate)-based photographic film base having improved properties with regard to cutting, perforating, and other finishing or phototofinishing operations. The film base comprises a material in which a specified amount of monomeric units derived from 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM), such that the film base has a specified cutting-related property. The level of CHDM in the PET-based polyester material can be adjusted either by physical blending of polyesters containing CHDM monomeric units or by synthetic incorporation of CHDM monomer units into a PET-based polyester backbone.
