Market Requirements The goal is a flexible polymer film with glass-like properties
- Low WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate) – The key parameter [g/(m2day)]
- High Optical Transmissivity – Low absorption & haze at wavelengths of interest
- Mechanical Robustness – Resistance to impact, scratching, soiling, etc.
- UV Stability – For outdoor applications like solar
- Cost Effective – Roll-to-Roll Processing
Requirements for Transparent Barriers
OLED Display OLED Lighting Inorganic PV Organic PV Reflective Displays Electrophoretic Rechargeable Batteries Packaging AMLCD – Quantum Dots
