Organic EL panels are being increasingly employed in smartphones, tablets, computers and televisions. While exhibiting high contrast and fast response speed, Organic EL panels tend to develop a color shift, appearing blue, when viewed from an angle.

Going forward, solution needs will become more acute in line with the increased size of TV screens and the widespread use of foldable smartphones and in-vehicle displays.

DNP’s unique solution leverages proprietary fine patterning technology to create a film capable of correcting for this blue tint and reproducing vivid colors even when viewed from an angle.

The new film will be marketed as “Blue Shift Control Film.”
