NanoMarkets
today announced that it will publish a new report in September of
this year titled, "New Opportunities for Optical Films in the
Display Industry." This new report from NanoMarkets focuses
on how opportunities for optically functional films will emerge
within the changing display sector. The report shows how value is
being created in the optical films market by enhancing the
performance of displays, and how manufacturers of these products may
be able to capitalize of the trend toward increasing adoption of
OLEDs and e-paper displays in mainstream displays.
The
report also provides an analysis of the optical coatings/films
strategies of the firms that NanoMarkets expects to see as major
players in the display sector. The analysis includes the major
optical films firms like 3M, as well as smaller, specialty firms; we
also assess the importance of nanomaterials for next generation
optical films. As with all NanoMarkets reports, included are an
eight-year market forecasts with breakouts by type of optical film
and by market segment. Optical film designs covered are
antiglare/antireflection films, polarizers, privacy films, diffuser
films, reflectors, prismatic films, and multi-functional films.

About the Report:
Today,
the LCD market heavily dominates the optical coatings needs of the
display industry. LCDs and their backlight units use diffuser films,
polarizers and mirrored polarizers, contrast enhancement and
prismatic films, as well as antireflection, antiglare, and privacy
films. But LCD manufacturers are struggling to maintain
profitability, and most are now looking for the “next big thing”
in displays. There is thus a shift occurring in the display industry
that will change the opportunities for optically functional films.
This shift involves the increasing adoption of OLEDs for mobile
computing applications, and perhaps even OLED TVs in the near-term;
e-paper has also grown in importance over the last few years, as has
the incorporation of touch technology to many displays.
At
first glance, these changes could create a problem for optically
functional display films that have long relied on a well-established
LCD sector for sales. Both OLEDs and e-paper displays are
backlight-free, and they thus require fewer optical film products
than conventional LCDs. However, their emergence may also create
opportunities for new kinds of optical films, and may create openings
for new firms to establish a market presence and gain market share
versus the competition. Similarly, touch panels are using new kinds
of customized optically functional films.
