Light control film

25 July 2012 Opto-Electronics

Instrument Plastics’ range of light control film is designed for a variety of purposes and is available with a range of options.

For privacy viewing, the film’s microlouvres allow for controlled viewing so an unauthorised observer’s line of sight is blocked. It is ideal for confidential viewing on CRTs, automatic teller machines (ATM) and anywhere privacy viewing is desired.

In terms of sunlight readability, the microlouvres help block out annoying off-axis light while maximising the transmission from the display to the viewer. The result is improved display contrast with minimal loss of brightness. Light is directed to where it is needed or away from where it is not. This eliminates night-time window reflections in automotive and aeronautical applications. It can also be used to hide the light source in incandescent lighting applications.

Contrast is improved and glare reduced on electronic displays by blocking out annoying off-axis light, making the display more comfortable to read. The microlouvres maximise the transmission from the display to improve the image with little loss of brightness.

The product range offers choices for customers in terms of optical quality level, louvre angle, viewing angle, abrasion/solvent resistance and surface finish.

Instrument Plastics, through its agent Actum Electronics, is able to handle anything from a one-off prototype to bulk orders of 100 000 or more. Lead times are typically three to four weeks.
