LCD Backlight Methodology and Applications Using Optical Enhancement Films

摘要

It is easy to imagine that a significant development effort is ongoing in the optical-films sector. In the past 10 years, the improvements realized with new materials have generally doubled the light efficiency of BLUs. It is conceivable that the next wave will be homogenized films that perform several functions at once, resulting in an overall reduction of individual layers and thus further reducing cost. While this article has noted the offerings mainly from several U.S.-based companies, several Asian companies are also producing similar competitive products and pursuing similar paths of innovation.
