‘Moth-eye’ Optical Films for Flat Panel Displays

  16/07/2008
Autoflex Optical films can be used in a number of applications in electronic information displays, where high-perfomance and low reflection/high transmission features are required. Autotype has worked with the prestigious Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Freiburg, Germany to develop an alternative AR film produced via PNR. These Moth-eye AR films contain a 200nm structure similar to that covering the eyes of certain moths.

 

The moths use this AR structure as a ‘stealth device’; without it their large eyes would make very easy targets for night-time predators. The optical properties of the moth-eye AR films are impressive: <1% reflectivity over the entire visible spectrum combined with low dependency on angle of view.

The physical properties are equally impressive. The MacDermid Autotype PNR system produces the structures as UV-cured hard-coats. So toughness and abrasion resistance are built in to the system.

Anti-glare hardcoat films
Sometimes it's not enough to have AR. The human eye is very sensitive to specular reflection, so antiglare (AG) is also required. The Fraunhofer team have developed the optical technology to create 2-in-1 moth-eye AR/AG structures. In a single production pass we create Moth-eye AntiReflection AntiGlare hardcoat films and we can alter the ratio of AR and AG to meet specific requirements. The films are hardcoated using Autotype's proven hardcoat technology.

MCA on Surveying the British Coast

Rob Spillard explains how the MCA is conducting hydrographic surveys, including the history of British hydrographic surveying, latest developments in technology and wreck research projects, sometimes accompanied by a BBC TV camera crew. This movie includes an example of the discovery of two sunken WWI submarines off the Orkney Islands.
