Optical display films undergo cyclical changes

摘要

Optical display film revenues are declining in 2012, after a compound annual growth rate of 19% from 2009 to 2011, according to NPD DisplaySearch Q1'12 Quarterly Display Optical Film Report. Optical films are used in liquid crystal display (LCD) backlights. Revenues will decline from $4.5 billion in 2011 to $4.2 billion in 2012, due to a decline in the market for reflective polarizers. Prism and micro lens film markets will grow to $858 million and $331 million in revenue, respectively.
