Display Filter eliminates unwanted reflections.
November 8, 2004 - Optical Control Filter controls direction of emitted light from LCD displays, reducing reflections, and facilitating readability in direct sunlight. Polycarbonate film uses lamination bonding and vacuum deposition techniques to integrate privacy louver matrices with anti-reflection and anti-glare coating. Filter can be bonded directly to LCD displays measuring up to 18 in., making it suited for in-car, naval, and aerospace display applications.

Anti-glare Display Filter Technology Combines Control of Unwanted Reflected Image with Enhanced Contrast Levels
Optical control filter system ideal for in-car, naval and aerospace display applications
Zytronic has developed a custom filtering technology that accurately controls the direction of emitted light from LCD displays as well as reducing screen reflections, enhancing contrast ratios, and improving readability in direct sunlight.
Zytronic's new robust optical control filter system is suitable for a wide range of applications that are required to operate in varying ambient lighting conditions and where the viewing angle must be controlled to reduce unwanted reflections or to enhance privacy. The safety of motorists is always a primary concern, and so the technology will be ideal for in-car satellite navigation and integrated vehicle entertainment systems for example, where sunlight readability and the elimination of distracting reflections on windscreens during night time operation are essential design criteria.
Zytronic's optical control filter system takes the form of a very thin and lightweight polycarbonate film that can be bonded directly to the front of the LCD display. The material has been produced using advanced lamination bonding and vacuum deposition techniques to integrate conventional technologies such as privacy louver matrices, with a new and specialised combined anti-reflection and anti-glare coating.
In addition, Zytronic has also developed a proprietary method for the cost-effective bonding of this film to the LCD. The result is an optical filter technology that will meet the most stringent optical and environmental specifications.
Zytronic's optical control filter system can be used with display sizes of up to 18" and can be supplied with a range of different surface finishes.
