The company believes SpectraVue, thin plastic films that enhance LCDs, will allow LCDs to surpass competitive Cathode Ray Tubes See CRT. (hardware) cathode ray tube - (CRT) An electrical device for displaying images by exciting phosphor dots with a scanned electron beam. CRTs are found in computer VDUs and monitors, televisions and oscilloscopes. (CRTs) in image quality. SpectraVue films provide LCDs with vivid, true colors that do not change with one's viewing angle, and they aid reading in sunlight. Originally developed by AlliedSignal for demanding aerospace applications such as cockpit displays, SpectraVue technology has been adapted for use in a variety of other applications, including video products, automotive displays, laptop displays and desktop monitors. "SpectraVue weds our expertise in plastics and optics," said Dr. David C. Hill, AlliedSignal Performance Materials President. "This technology will make significant contributions to the consumer electronics, aerospace, automotive and lighting industries." "The breakthrough viewing capability is accomplished by first efficiently generating a parallel beam of light from a flat light source and then spreading or diffusing the light after it passes through the LCD," said Thomas C. Credelle, SpectraVue Market Development Director.
