Reflective Polarizing Films
Reflective Polarizing Films recycle light from the backlight system that would be absorbed by the LCD and can increase brightness by 50–60%. These films select incident light with a specific polarization state to pass through and reflect the other polarization state back into the backlight where it can be recycled; they are used in TFT-LCD products requiring high brightness, such as TVs, highend notebook PCs, and high-end monitors.
