Indispensable Electronics LCD Film Material

Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Invention of the method of manufacturing wide-view-angle birefringent film for the electronics LCD related products industry.

Japan’s leading liquid crystal display (LCD) related products manufacturer Nitto Denko Corporation presents an Invention on the Method of Manufacturing Wide-View-Angle Birefringent Film for LCD related products.

The basic structure of a typical LCD device is such that a polarizing film and an optical compensation film (birefringent film) are located on the backlight side as well as the viewing side of the liquid crystal cells. In order to obtain vivid image characteristics of display, it is necessary to have a better contrast between black and white and to raise color reproducibility.

Conventional LCDs, however, were marked by a phenomenon such that a whitish display image appears when the screen is viewed from an oblique angle. In addition, when the display in black color is viewed obliquely, the image is seen to be colored blue or yellow, so that the viewing angle becomes necessarily narrow. In order to resolve such a shortcoming and to raise the display quality in terms of contrast and vividness of the colors, it became important to introduce optical compensation. Such an optical compensation is now successfully secured in LCDs by using the birefringent film which is the subject of the award-winning invention this time. The characteristic of the invention is such that the refractive index of the film is controlled three-dimensionally with high precision, leading to the elimination of such shortcoming in the conventional LCDs.

Nitto Denko’s wide-view-angle birefringent film has now become an indispensable LCD material, finding use in a broad range of applications such as personal computer monitors, cellular phones and TVs. The demand for this film is expected to continue expanding in step with a further development expected for the global LCD market from now on.

Nitto Denko Corporation, situated in Ibaraki, Osaka Pref., is a specialties manufacturer well known for its electronics, industrial and functional products including LCD-related products.
