Optical Enhancement Tutorial

From General Digital Optical Bonding Laboratories
 

 
Light emitting displays, including CRT, LED, OLED, LCD, Plasma and other technologies, all suffer from a visibility problem when used under conditions which include high ambient lighting levels. Examples of these conditions abound; they are found in all applications in which the display is exposed to uncontrollable outdoor lighting. This is encountered in kiosks, advertising displays, control towers and aircraft cockpits, to name just a few.
