Sheet for Edge-Lit and Back-Lit LED Displays
Lucite International, Inc., in partnership with Mitsubishi
Rayon Co. Ltd., (MRC) announced the introduction of
Shinkolite-A into the U.S. market. Produced from a special,
high quality
continuous cast
sheet formula,
Shinkolite-A is a
light-guiding and
diffusion acrylic
sheet for use in edge-lit and back-lit
signs typically used in advertising,
retail and information displays.
The new products are branded LXN 875, LXN 885 and
for back-lit LED, NE 14, 15 and 16.
The production of the light-emitting and diffusion sheets
is being made possible by Mitsubishi Rayon’s development
of a unique continuous casting method. This method
enables the production of acrylic sheets with a heat resistance
approximately 10° C higher than conventional sheet
extrusion or cell cast methods. The material out performs
the extruded and cell cast products in the categories of
formability, processability, weatherability, solvent resistance
and optical strain. In addition, continuous cast
acrylic sheet is unparalleled in the uniformity of thickness
throughout the sheet.
The thickness of these products is designed for optimal
luminosity effect when LEDs are used as a light source.
The LXN 875 sheet has been designed for large displays
and the LXN 885 sheet for small and medium size displays.
The L NE 14, 15, 16 direct type units leverage the
technological expertise in the fields of transparency and
light-diffusion control.
The L NE 14 is the standard product, the L NE 15 allows
for extra brightness and the L NE 16 sheet is designed for
higher color temperature (color temperature refers to the
measurement of color expressed in Kelvin “K” degrees).
