• New Technology
Nano-Imprinted Light Guide Films are different from traditional
injection molded Light Guide Plates (LGP’s) or
Light Guide Films (LGF’s) offering
better efficiency of light use, lower profile
display and lower cost manufacturing.
• High Resolution patterns
Nano-Imprinted onto thin,
flexible translucent film substrates, light is
guided in uniform or custom patterns creating various required
lighting effects designed by computer software.
• High resolution Nano-structures
Uniquely allows for
sophisticated control of light distribution to
keys or buttons to maximize lighting efficiency.
Nano-structures are so small as not to be
visible to the viewer.
• Roll to Roll, high efficiency
production line
Provides very
cost-effective and high quality manufacturing
capability.

Light Guide Films: How they work. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Nicrotek Light Guide Films (LGFs)
are designed for effective use of LED edge light
sources. Light from the LED sources is
internally reflected down the length of LGF to the
various viewing areas. The Localized Micro-Lens
Arrays
redirect light out of the film to the viewer only
where it is needed (to each logo, image, key or button) by
layout design. This new technology patterning
allows light to be efficiently and uniformly
directed where light is desired in a very low profile
film.

Light Guide Film Benefits
|
|
|
|
- Very efficient use of light only to areas to be
illuminated. Patterns of MicroLenses
areas designed by Customer software such as CAD or
other standard design software.
- More Efficient use (and reduced numbers) of LED
sources
- Very Thin Form Factor.
- Roll to Roll Film Manufacturing for Low Cost
- Software Designed Patterns for Precise
Light Control.

Design
|
|
|
|
Light guide films are designed using customer CAD or
other software to determine the size, pattern and layout
of the microlens arrays.
