3M films for display enhancement and protection in industrial applications

  • 3M™ Protection Films help protect displays against damage that can occur from the rigors of everyday use. Engineered with a low-tack adhesive, the films are easy to apply and easy to remove. Available in a variety of finishes to meet specific application requirements.

  • 3M™ Advanced Light Control Film (ALCF) is a microlouver film that controls the distribution of light perpendicular to the louver structure (viewing angle). ALCF can be used to create privacy, control reflections or improve display contrast.

  • 3M™ Brightness Enhancement Film (BEF) and 3M™ Dual Brightness Enhancement Film (DBEF) are recycling, light management films that are used to increase the brightness of backlights used in liquid crystal displays (LCD). The brightness increase can be the primary goal or it can be translated to power savings or thermal management. 3M Enhanced Specular Reflector (ESR) can be used to increase the overall efficiency of the backlight.

  • 3M OCA comes in a variety of thicknesses to suit your needs. Choose 3M OCAs for touch screens, and when you’re bonding film and glass. It’s ideal for transparent graphic overlays, projection screens and other applications where an optically clear adhesive is necessary. Avionics and military displays often carry the 3M OCAs for reliability, quality and durability of design. LCD clarity, color neutrality and reliability is improved with 3M OCAs.
