Our company has developed the Diffusive Microlens Array, a diffusive film that control the light distribution to obtain the HUD with high brightness and uniformity.

“Microlens Array” is literally arrayed micrometer-sized lenses and are formed on film substrate by our proprietary micro/nano-fabrication technology. Each lens is placed in arrangement and designed in shape to convert the incident light from LED to optimized light distribution on imaging display panel, and to enhance the brightness by 40% and uniformity of projected image.

In addition, the diffusive angle is controlled by precisely controlling the shape of the microlens array structure. This product therefore comes in three standard diffusive angles: 8°, 10°, and 12°. Customers can choose a product having the angle suited to their HUD design and can enhance the HUD performance just by replacing the existing diffuser film with the product.

• *1Based on our simulation conducted by replacing a common diffuser film (diffusive angle 5°, normal light distribution) with this product (diffusive angle 8°, top-hat distribution).

• Loss of light and MURA of projected image reduced by diffusive light distribution in a top-hat
  Designed to achieve optimal light distribution characteristics, the microlens array structure diffuses light distribution in a top-hat shape. This makes the use of light more efficient and enhances the brightness because the loss of light is smaller compared to common diffuser films which diffuse light in a normal distribution (Gaussian distribution) form. Also, the nonuniformity in brightness reduces because the intensity of light can easily be adjusted.

This product Diffusive Microlens Array	Typical diffusion film for HUD (microparticle coating type)
Top-hat light distribution	A normal light distribution (Gaussian distribution)
Loss of light is small.	Loss of light occurs on the ends.
Easy to attain constant intensity of light; brightness becomes more uniform.	Difficult to attain constant intensity of light; brightness is often nonuniform.

• Design changes of the entire HUD are not necessary.
  The product comes in standard diffusive angles of 8°, 10°, and 12°. Customers can choose a product having the diffusion angle suited to their HUD design and can enhance the HUD performance just by replacing the existing diffuser film with the product.
