What is KIMOTO's Surface Processing Technology (1) Light Diffusion Film?

A few microns thick We give various functions to the film and expand its possibilities.

What is light diffusion?

Light diffusion is the function of scattering (diffusing) incoming light.Lighting used in homes and elevators,There are often covers with a milky white color and an uneven shape hanging over it.These covers scatter the light from LEDs to make it brighter,It has the effect of making the LED itself invisible.

Andon (lanterns) seen in period dramas You often see washi paper pasted on them, which also has the effect of scattering light to illuminate a wide area.

Where is it used?

Light Diffusion Filmis a film that has the function of diffusing light brighter and more evenly. It is used for various applications such as smartphones and car navigation systems for lighting and liquid crystal displays (mainly backlighting).

As shown in the left figure, Without a film, the light source tends to concentrate in a specific direction. 、 By passing through the Light Diffusion Film, the light can be made more "bright" or " You can make it "uniform".

Benefits of Light Diffusion Film

The advantages of using Light Diffusion Filmare (1) power savings, (2) design, (3) anti-glare, and (4) thinness.

Energy Saving: It can use light efficiently regardless of the light source, significantly reducing power consumption.

Design: Can be bent, printed on, and takes advantage of the characteristics of the film.

3. Anti-glare: Reduces glare and diminishes brightness.

4. Slimming down: Enables the design of thin and smart designs.

For lighting purposes, it has become possible to create thin and lightweight designs, while for LCD displays, it achieves reduction of screen reflections and slimming down.

Speaking of light diffusion at KIMOTO, "LIGHT-UP™"

LIGHT-UP™is aLight Diffusion Filmused to backlight liquid crystal displays. The backlight of the liquid crystal display is patterned on the light guide plate Only the ring part will be illuminated, LIGHT-UP™ By using The pattern of light in the backlight of the LCD display is diffused and reaches the eyesI couldn't stand up anymore.The angle of light can be controlled to make the screen brighter。

Through various KIMOTO technologies such as resins, particles, and coating methods,LIGHT-UP?allows you to control the diffusion and angle of light.
