Thin liquid-crystal display backlight system with highly scattering optical transmission polymers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We describe an advanced highly scattering optical transmission (HSOT) polymer backlight system that has shown twice the brightness of a conventional transparent system in spite of its having a thinner backlight. The HSOT polymer that contains optimized heterogeneous structures produced homogeneous scattered light with forward directivity and sufficient color uniformity. Although it was thought that polymers for light-guide plates (LGPs) must be transparent to minimize scattering, we have come to the conclusion that the HSOT polymer, which is not an absorping medium but a scattering medium, is a more suitable medium for LGPs.
