NH Film

NH Film Viewing Angle Compensator Film for TFT LCDs

A Beautiful Image Should Be Beautiful from Every Angle

Structure

NH Film possesses a hybrid-nematic structure of liquid crystalline polymers in which the tilt angles of the polymers vary gradually relative to the normal orientation of the film. The film greatly improves the viewing-angle performance, which is a problem with conventional thin film transistor (TFT) LCDs. The film maintains the contrast and suppresses the color changing and the gray-scale inversion, so it keeps the images natural and recognizable even when viewed from oblique angles.
In transflective displays, NH Film functions as both a viewing angle improver and a nematic sheet, so it boosts the panel performance while reducing the number of optical sheets.

Features

Optical characteristics

* Wider viewing angle with the same front-viewing characteristics as two commercial films

* Greatly improved gray-scale characteristics (suppress the inversion)

Reliability
(heat resistance)

* 85°C dry, 60°C at 90% RH x 500 hrs OK (NOC test)

* Heat resistance at least as good as for other commercial products

* Will pass various kinds of heat and humidity cyclic tests required for mobile devices.

Thickness

* 7 microns
We have also begun mass production of film as thin as 15 microns.
