Toray Introduces Function-Integrating Film for LCD Backlight.Tokyo, Japan, Sept 8, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Toray Industries announced September 8 that it has developed a new optical polyethylene terephthalate Ter`eph´tha`late n. 1. (Chem.) A salt of terephthalic acid. (PET) film for liquid crystal display liquid crystal display (LCD) Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light. (LCD) backlight back·light n. A type of spotlight, used in photography, that illuminates a subject from behind. tr.v. back·light·ed or back·lit , back·light·ing, back·lights , combining multiple optical functions. Toray's development integrates functions of multiple films including that of a diffuser dif·fus·er n. 1. One that diffuses, as: a. A light fixture, such as a frosted globe, that spreads light evenly. b. A medium that scatters light, used in photography to soften shadows. c. that diffuses the light from backlight over the entire display as well as light-collimating beads sheet and prism sheet into one film. Toray plans to commercialize the newly developed film starting from the end of the current fiscal year as an advanced film material that contributes to efficient product designing by reducing the weight and the number of parts of LCDs, mainly for backlights in large-sized LCD televisions. The company also intends to expand the material's application to various functional films and screen materials for applications including rear-projection screens by exploiting its thinness, light weight and high optical transparency as well as its superior light diffusion and collimating properties.
