Product Catalog for Vikuiti™ Display Enhancement Films Reflective Polarizer Brightness Enhancement Films Vikuiti™ Dual Brightness Enhancement Film (DBEF) [click to enlarge] Vikuiti™ Dual Brightness Enhancement Films (DBEF) are reflective polarizers which use 3M’s multi-layer optical film technology. Vikuiti DBEF films increase the amount of light available for illuminating LCD displays by recycling light that would normally be absorbed by the rear polarizer of the liquid crystal panel. The backlight efficiency is increased while maintaining viewing angle. Make a Selection Vikuiti™ DBEF-D2-400 Vikuiti™ DBEF-D2-400 is the latest generation of diffuse multi-layer reflective polarizer with improved color stability. Vikuiti DBEF-D2-400 film delivers display uniformity, masks minor cosmetic imperfections in the panel, and eliminates wet-out thereby reducing the need for a cover sheet. Vikuiti™ DBEF-D260 Vikuiti™ DBEF-D260 is a thin film for applications where the available space in the display cavity is more limited. A diffusing coating on both sides provides increased system robustness. Vikuiti™ DBEF-D280 Vikuiti™ DBEF-D280 is a reflective polarizer optimized for LCD monitor applications. A diffusing coating on both sides provides increased system robustness. Vikuiti™ DBEF-D400 Vikuiti™ DBEF-D400 is a multi-layer reflective polarizer with outer skins of diffuse polycarbonate. The extra layers provide increased thermal and mechanical performance. Vikuiti DBEF-D400 film delivers display uniformity, masks minor cosmetic imperfections in the panel, and eliminates wet-out thereby reducing the need for a cover sheet. Vikuiti™ DBEF-D550 Vikuiti™ DBEF-D550 is the thickest diffuse reflective polarizer available from 3M optimized for large area liquid crystal displays where a thicker film is required. Vikuiti DBEF-D550 film is ideal for use with direct lit LCD televisions both as a stand alone solution and also in combination with Vikuiti™ BEF film products. Vikuiti™ DBEF-E Vikuiti™ DBEF-E is typically used in handheld and notebook LCD displays where an embossed surface is desired. The slightly raised embossed structure acts as spacers to prevent the film from lying totally flat against other surfaces, helping to avoid wet-out. Vikuiti™ DBEF-M Vikuiti™ DBEF-M includes a matte finish to the front side of the film, acting as an integral diffuser, which reduces the need for a separate diffuser sheet. The matte finish also improves display uniformity, hides minor cosmetic imperfections, eliminates wet-out and reduces reflective moiré. Vikuiti™ DBEF-P2 Vikuiti™ DBEF-P2 film is a multi-layer reflective polarizer designed to be laminated to the to bottom glass of LCD module. Vikuiti DBEF-P2 is available only through LCD polarizer OEM’s.
