20080277522 | POLYMERIC FILM WINDING SYSTEMS AND METHODS UTILIZING INK SPACING - A method and system of winding polymeric film includes printing an ink pattern onto a length of polymeric film (e.g., low modulus, optical grade film) prior to winding. The film and the ink pattern are simultaneously wound about a cylinder to form a wound roll, with ink pattern being interposed between successively wound layers of film. The ink pattern establishes a gap between the outermost and immediately underlying wound layers of film. The gap facilitates natural movement (e.g., relaxation) of the outermost wound layer relative to the immediately underlying wound layer, thereby compensating for any winding-related stress or tension. | 11-13-2008 |
20080277523 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WINDING POLYMERIC FILMS, SUCH AS LOW MODULUS, POLYOLEFIN FILMS - A method and system of winding polymeric film includes providing a length of polymeric film (e.g., low modulus, optical grade film) along with at least one small diameter strand. The film and the strand are simultaneously wound about a cylinder to form a wound roll, with strand being interposed between successively wound layers of film. The strand establishes a gap between the outermost and immediately underlying wound layers of film. The gap facilitates natural movement (e.g., relaxation) of the outermost wound layer relative to the immediately underlying wound layer, thereby compensating for any winding-related stress or tension. The strand can be laterally moved (e.g., oscillated) relative to a width of the film with continuous winding. | 11-13-2008 |
20140283910 | EDGE PROTECTED BARRIER ASSEMBLIES - The present application is directed to an assembly comprising an electronic device, and a multilayer film. The multilayer film comprises a substrate adjacent the electronic device, a barrier stack adjacent the substrate opposite the electronic device, and a weatherable sheet adjacent the barrier stack opposite the substrate. The multilayer film is transparent and flexible and the barrier stack and the substrate are insulated from the environment. | 09-25-2014 |
20140290736 | BARRIER ASSEMBLIES - 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 weatherable sheet is bonded to the electronic device. | 10-02-2014 |
20150027533 | EDGE PROTECTED BARRIER ASSEMBLIES - 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 an opaque protective layer adjacent the barrier stack opposite the electronic device. | 01-29-2015 |
20150114457 | CONTINUOUS EDGE PROTECTED BARRIER ASSEMBLIES - This disclosure generally relates to films capable of use in a flexible photovoltaic solar module, rolls of films capable of use in a flexible photovoltaic solar module, processes of making the films and rolls of films, to flexible photovoltaic solar modules including such films, and to methods of making flexible solar modules. One exemplary process involves providing at least two discrete segments of a multilayer barrier film and placing a segment of protective layer adjacent to two of the adjacent discrete segments of multilayer barrier film such that the first and second terminal edges of the segment of protective layer span the gap between the discrete segments of barrier film to form a continuous film. | 04-30-2015 |
20150214405 | METHODS OF MAKING BARRIER ASSEMBLIES - 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. | 07-30-2015 |
20150243816 | METHODS OF MAKING BARRIER ASSEMBLIES - 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. | 08-27-2015 |
