OPTICAL GRADE TAC FILM MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Thickness：50μm Below, Thickness：50-80μm, and Thickness：80μm Above.

• Thickness：50μm Below: This category is for applications that need high transmission and flexibility of products for example; MIS and Advanced graphic uses like displays and touch panels. Coatings of films in this range are preferred for their small contribution to the overall weight coupled with negligible obscuration of original optical transparency, which can be desirable for modern appliances such as high-end electronics.

• Thickness：50-80μm: Movies TAC in this range are ideal for standard LCD plates and polarized sunglasses where there is a struggle between the strength of the material and its light transmission ability. Their relatively high, yet middle-range density provides better mechanical properties, sufficient flexibility, and clarity to serve as suitable materials for several applications in the field of optics.

• Thickness：80μm Above: TAC films thicker than 80μm include those that are used in applications where mechanical strength, durability and resistance against adverse conditions are key considerations. Such films can be used for outdoor use and other applications where foiled optical products have to work under high stress levels and for a long time.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Television, Computer, Mobile Phone, Car Monitor, Polarized Sunglasses, Others.

• Television: TAC films are essential in improving the quality of a TV screen through improving its visual quality through offering high level of transparency while at the same time brings down the glare. ORGANIC light-emitting diodes or LEDs are utilized in devices such as LCDs and OLED screens to enhance the picture quality and sharpness which is critical for high image definition.

• Computer: In computer monitors, TAC films help provide better display characteristics owing to improvements in its brightness and color reproduction. Its higher densities are especially useful in high screen resolution monitors of graphics artists and video game enthusiasts among others.

• Mobile Phone: TAC films are also front-line in the manufacturing of mobile phones due to their screen-friendly material that boosts the phone’s hardness and light transmission rates. These films prevent abrasion and other kind of damage on the screens while delivering bright and vivid image to the screen, particularly to the touch screen devices such as the smartphone and tablets.

• Car Monitor: In car monitors, TAC films are applied to improve display characteristics, mainly for automotive applications like maps and infotainment. They allow for the readability of texts in different lighting conditions and provide extra protection to the screens and their content from physical impacts and glares.

• Polarized Sunglasses: TAC films play an important role for the polarized sunglasses as they work to give the sunglasses the polarization that limits the glare from the reflective surface. This application is of immense gain to users in as much as it improves visual comfort and clarity especially when the ambient environment is highly illuminant such as the outdoors.
