This is a light diffusion control sheet using a fine uneven structure (nano buckling). Thanks to our unique surface microstructure forming technology, it is possible to control the pitch and height of the unevenness, allowing for the regulation of light transmission diffusion and anisotropy. This makes it suitable for use in copiers and other devices that can efficiently utilize anisotropy. Due to its higher transmittance compared to general diffusion materials, there is less reduction in lighting intensity and display brightness, which is expected to contribute to energy-saving effects. 【Functions】 ○ Transmittance ○ Diffusion angle For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
