Microsharp gives invited presentation at UK Displays NetworkDr David Bottomley, Commercial Manager of Microsharp, presented an invited talk entitled "Optical films for improving backlight performance" at a UK Displays Network Meeting at Bletchley Park in November 2005. In particular, the performance of Microsharp’s off-axis GRIN (GRaded [refractive] INdex) diffuser was highlighted, and is demonstrated in the images below taken in a domestic real-world environment. For a room-lit calculator display, light from the light fitting above the table is diffused, so that the contrast of the display is improved when viewed directly above the display i.e. normal to the display. This is shown in the two images below. The GRIN diffuser is present on the right side of the screen covering the numbers "45678" and is not present for the numbers "123". A dramatic improvement in display performance is evident, particularly in the improved brightness of the display. DownloadJunuary 2006 Newsletter in Adobe PDF |
