The Display Industry Award winners are… The
Post# of 22456
The Society for Information Display (SID) revealed the winners of the 21st annual Display Industry Awards, which will be presented Wednesday, May 25. The special awards luncheon is a much-anticipated part of Display Week, to be held this year at San Francisco's Moscone Center, May 22-27.
Display Components of the Year: Granted for novel components that have significantly enhanced a display's performance. A component may be sold as a separate part slated for incorporation into a display. It may also include display-enhancing materials and/or parts fabricated with new processes.
Nitto Denko ultra-thin polarizer
Nitto's ultra-thin polarizer possesses high optical properties and exhibits low shrinkage. Polarizing films are optical films consisting of a polarizer and protection films. Because the film determines the optical properties, it's one of a display's most important components.
However, the stretching process involved in manufacturing the polarizer can create problems later on with shrinkage, which can lead to panel bending, display distortion and dimensional variance. Nitto tackled this problem by developing this new polarizer, which, at 5 microns,
is about 80 percent thinner than standard polarizers made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, yet exhibits comparable optical properties. It has low shrinkage force, rarely causes display distortion and 60 percent less dimensional variance after heating.
