SMOOTHLITE is a glass diffuser that consists of a thin glass plate covered with a proprietary light scattering coating. It provides highly uniform diffusion properties and neutral color, while keeping light transmission above 50%. It is the perfect choice for large direct backlight units.
It provides an outstanding durability to the backlight unit when compared to conventional plastic diffusers. First, the coating acts as a UV-blocker, thus preventing the yellowing of plastic films placed between lamps and LCD cell. Second, as our glass diffuser is 100% made of mineral material, its very properties are very stable and color shifts do not occur under lamp exposure. Finally, thanks to the glass substrate, it does not deform with temperature, and wide sizes do not sag.
Still, SMOOTHLITE can be mounted as easily as usual diffusers.

APPLICATIONS

SMOOTHLITE is the ideal solution for the backlights of high brightness and long life LCDs, especially for TV applications requiring 80 000 h lifetime and more.
Besides backlighting, it can be also adapted as a screen for rear or direct projection displays.
