New Film from Zeon Enhances LCD Picture Contrast
Zeon, a Japan-based company, has developed a revolutionary film for the polarizing plates of LCD displays. Its purpose is to boost the picture contrast of the display by as much as 10 times. They call the material phase difference film and it is based on Cyclo Olefin Polymer. It restrains the diffusion of light from the LCD backlighting resulting to clearer pictures on the screen. This technology will work in LCD displays that utilize IPS or in-plane-switching technology. The company claims the film not only improves contrast ratio but also allows a wider viewing angle, making it also ideal for digital signage devices. At present, Zeon sells these phase difference films only to Samsung, which uses IPS technology. It, however, will start to mass produce the new films within this year targeting the 40 inches and larger LCD TV market. It also has developed a film that employs the same type of technology for OLED-based display devices.
