Our Expertise with Light Control Films

Our background in liquid crystal (LC) based displays and roll-to-roll/part manufacturing puts us in a unique position of being able to develop light control films that span application needs across a large gamut of industries.

Optical and Device Engineering

Kent Displays has engineered optical stack-ups and devices that embody a variety of light control functionality including but not restricted to:

  • Switchable reflectors and notch filters (both broad- and narrow band) across the visible and near-infrared spectrum.
  • Patterned scattering films for waveguide applications.
  • Tunable Light scattering films of varying modalities (under the SwitchVue™ brand).
  • Tinting films (with and without light scattering functions).
  • Light retardance films.

Materials Development

Our R&D and engineering teams work to bring their expertise in formulation design and materials selection to impart the desired functionality and performance to the devices. This includes:

  • LC and LC-polymer composites for device active layers.
  • Manipulating UV curing induced phase-separation to achieve desired morphologies and performance.
  • Selecting alignment layers to induce the LC textures need for desired optical properties.
  • Substrate, sealant and adhesive selection for fabrication of rugged devices that can withstand environmental stressors like temperature, UV, humidity and mechanical load.
  • Selecting the right conductive layers to meet design and integration needs.

Manufacturing at Scale

Our roll-to-roll and roll-to-part platforms ensure precise control of layer thickness, switching uniformity, material stability, and contamination management. In-line and bench-top metrology verify consistent optical performance from early prototypes through high-volume production. Our modular manufacturing processes mean that we can adapt our technologies to you specific design and dimensional needs.

Technical Development Support

We guide customers from concept to deployment through application assessments, optical stack design, rapid prototyping, design-for-manufacturing support, and pilot-to-production transition.

Applications

Kent Displays light control films fill niches in a variety of industries including architectural films, automotive and aerospace glass surfaces and displays, wearable devices, information displays, and specialized components for optical devices.
