Overview

Microsharp Corporation Limited (MCL) was established in the U.K. in April 1998, with the aim of developing a leading position in the provision of innovative, reliable and consistent light management technologies for flat panel displays.

Microsharp products are mainly used to improve the performance of liquid crystal displays in direct view and under magnification as well as being used in front and rear projection display systems. They are also finding increased application in other industries from diagnostic devices through tailored light sources to security products. These technologies, which now form the basis of the MCL patent and product portfolio, were initially pioneered by Durand Technology Limited, and then developed by Nashua Corporation over a five-year period, before returning to form Microsharp Corporation Limited.

Microsharp is an innovative developer of Light Management Technologies. We combine an understanding of end user applications in the displays, media, security and illumination industries with our capabilities in optical design and testing, UV-curable and self-organizing lacquers (resins), microprecision replication and optical film production.

Microsharp works with its clients in several different ways:

• Exclusive or non-exclusive licensing of patents
• Supply of specific materials at a defined cost
• Consultancy in optical design, optical solutions and optical testing
• Research and development projects to develop or tailor materials with specific optical properties
• Joint Ventures covering specific aspects of products or material development and commercialisation

Microsharp is working with a range of global businesses to progress and enhance their systems and products.
