- The films with middle-level thickness, targeting TP parts materials, have expanded their capabilities.
- The price of white PET films for backlights have largely fallen because of the new market entrance by the Chinese locals.
- It is indispensable for TP parts materials to have higher quality, for instance, good thin-film quality in appearance, birefringent control, and heat-resistant shrinkage
- There are advantages in Japanese manufacturers.
- Protective Films
- The market of the protective films for polarizing plates have become matured with no changes in the market share.
