Display panel with pre-patterned images
The present invention is directed to a panel comprising a plurality of microcells wherein each of the microcells has a bottom, the panel has a first area and a second area, and the microcells in the first area have substantially the same bottom thickness and the microcells in the second area have added bottom thicknesses. Such a panel is useful for many applications, such drug administrations.
1. A panel comprising a plurality of microcells, wherein: each of the microcells has a bottom, the panel has a first area and a second area, the microcells in the first area have substantially the same bottom thickness, and the microcells in the second area have thicker bottom than the microcells in the first area.
2. The panel of claim 1 , wherein the microcells in the second area have a bottom thickness which is 0.001 micron to 9/10 of the depth of the microcells in the first area, more than the bottom thickness of the microcells in the first area.
3. The panel of claim 1 , wherein the microcells in the second area have a bottom thickness which is 0.001 micron to ½ of the depth of the microcells in the first area, more than the bottom thickness of the microcells in the first area.
4. The panel of claim 1 , wherein the bottom thicknesses of the microcells in the second area are not the same.
5. A method for preparing a panel of claim 1 , comprising:
a) providing a nip roller on the surface of which has carved-out areas to form a pattern which pattern is a positive or negative image of an intended pattern for the panel;
b) coating an embossable composition over a substrate layer which is on the surface of the nip roller; and
c) applying a male mold over the embossable composition.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the carved-out areas have different depths.
7. A method for preparing a panel of claim 1 , comprising:
a) providing microcells;
b) filling the microcells in a pre-determined area, with a chemical composition in a solvent;
c) removing the solvent; and
d) optionally curing the chemical composition after removal of the solvent.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the solvent is methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, or isopropyl alcohol.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the microcells are filled with different concentrations of chemical compositions.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the concentrations are in the range of 0.01% to 90% by weight.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the concentrations are in the range of 0.01% to 50% by weight.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the chemical composition is not the same as a composition from which the microcells are formed.
13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the chemical composition is the same as a composition from which the microcells are formed.
