Abstract

Display performance of mobile LCDs has been improved according to broadening of their application. But there are many demands from market, such as contrast improvement (high color reproducibility), higher efficiency of light usage, thickness reduction, widening its viewing angle and so on. To respond them we have been developing many new types of films. In this paper we introduce new high contrast white polarizers for better color reproducibility, and new film construction for higher light efficiency.
