Polycarbonate Resin Panlite® Sheet & Film

Optical grades

Light guide film

Grade

PC-1152、PC-2152

Characteristics

Polycarbonate films for light guide plates developed for small to medium-sized display

  • Optical property

    High in transmittance and realizes high brightness and superior color reproducibility.

  • Applicable product range

    Applicable to thin-walled and large screen areas for which injection molding is not enough by forming the surfaces.

  • Mechanical property

    High in impact resistance, and easy to handle. Superior in dimension stability and additional workability.

  • Product lineup

    [Product thickness]
     PC-2152… 0.125mm to 0.5mm
     PC-1152… 0.25mm to 0.55mm

    • *For product sizes and other thicknesses, please contact us.
    • *Request for thickness of 0.1 mm or less, please download the information of PURE-ACE.

Optical Properties

Physical Properties

Products of light guide grade, PC-1152 and 2152, have the same level of strength and heat resistance as the products of standard grade, PC-1151 and 2151.
