3M Light Control Film

3M Light Control Film is a high-performance plastic, containing closely spaced microlouvers. These louvers simulate a tiny venetian blind, blocking out unwanted ambient light and controlling the direction of display light. The results of these features are higher contrast enhancement, improved readability in sunlight, and the ability to direct light, as well as restricting readability to a single viewer for privacy.

• Product Applications: Light Control Film can be used with a variety of electro-optical displays, such as light emitting diodes, vacuum fluorescent displays, electroluminescent panels, liquid crystal displays, incandescent lights, and cathode ray tubes.
• Privacy Viewing: Light Control Film allows for controlled viewing, so that unauthorized observers will have their line of sight blocked. It is ideal for confidential viewing on CRTs.
• Sunlight Readability: Light Control Film’s micro-louvers help block out annoying off-axis light, while maximizing the transmission from the display to the viewer.
• Light Directing: Light Control Film directs light to where it is needed or away from where it is not. It eliminates nighttime window reflections in automotive and aeronautical applications. It can also be used to hide the light source in incandescent lighting.
• Contrast Enhancement: Light Control Film improves contrast and reduces glare on electronic displays by blocking out annoying off-axis light, making the display more comfortable to read. Louvers provide total cut-off past viewing angle.
