Display enhancement films
3M, the diversified technology company, recently announced the appointment of Optical Filters Ltd, specialists in the design and manufacture of display enhancement solutions for flat panel technology, as a value-added distributor of its Vikuiti ARMR200 LCD protection film in Europe. Optical Filters will cut and supply the ARMR200 film to UK customers from its factory in Thame, using local distributors or agents in Scandinavia, France and Italy.
The agreement will provide Optical Filters with a leading edge in the electronic display enhancement sector enabling its existing military and avionics customers to benefit from the most reliable, ruggedised solutions on the market.
He continued, “Military devices that use touch screens as a user-interface, such as notebook PCs, are under constant danger from impact damage and abuse in hazardous environments so a sacrificial front layer is a useful ally to have. ARMR200 films offer removable protection, increase strength and durability, and reduce failures and breakages in the field.”
The ARMR200 film from 3M fits well with Optical Filters' manufacturing capability and the company is able to cut the film in a way that maintains its optical integrity. Using specialist machining techniques, the company provides a highly accurate and cost effective method of reworking the film into standard or complex shapes.
This new co-operation bridges the gap between ARMR product development and delivery to the end customer. Optical filters will stock sheets of the film and will process according to customers' precise instructions and volume requirements. Other value-added services include optical lamination, if customers do not have in-house optical handing capability, quick lead times and fast delivery.
