(0 votes) Vikuiti RPF… projecting customizable visuals

When LCD and Plasma technologies came along, screen displays got much
thinner, bigger and a whole lot lighter. 3M™ have pushed the envelope
even further with a product called Vikuiti RPF. What’s so insanely
cool about this product is that displays can be designed in so many
different shapes and used with any transparent surface. In short,
Vikuiti RPF makes LCD and Plasma monitors seem outdated.

The name Vikuiti, pronounced (vie CUE ah tee), comes from morphing the
words “visual” and “acuity”. It’s a flexible, self-adhesive rear
projection film containing a black resin layer to absorb ambient
light. Sandwiched in this layer are millions of tiny glass beads that
highly focus the projected light. The result is a vivid image with
exceptional contrast that can be viewed at any angle.

Not only is the image of better quality than LCD and Plasma screens,
the Vikuiti RPF also allows for some very awesome looking displays to
be created. Since it’s a film, it can be cut to any shape or
integrated with other graphics such as signs, posters etc. The
possibilities are endless. Dim lights This link shows the Bank of
Montreal using Vikuiti RPF along with 3M™ printed graphics to showcase
their support of the Toronto FC. For a quick overview of the
technology, click here. To get a more detailed explanation of how
Vikuiti RPF works, click here. Published in TechBuzz Tagged under
