Product Definition:
LCVR is an important device which helps in controlling the speed of light. It is used to adjust the optical path length and also to control the phase retardation. This device finds its major application in research laboratories, universities and other scientific institutions.
Aperture 10 mm:
Aperture 10 mm is a new generation retarder that has been developed to overcome the limitations of conventional products. Conventional LCVRs are based on Poly (vinylidene chloride) and Poly (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and have certain disadvantages such as low modulus, low heat resistance, high viscosity at room temperature which makes them less preferable for architectural applications.
Aperture 20 mm:
Aperture 20 mm is a special kind of glass used in the manufacturing of LCVR. It helps in improving the optical quality and color purity by reducing unwanted light emissions from gases present within the liquid crystal. The reduction in light emissions reduces power consumption, increases contrast ratio, and enhances image quality. Aperture 20 mm is mainly used for manufacturing LCD panels that are widely utilized across various end-use industries such as consumer electronics & appliances, automotive industry etc.
Application Insights:
The industrial application segment led the global liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVR) market and accounted for more than 45% of the revenue share in 2017. The growth can be attributed to increasing use of LCVr in manufacturing process control equipment, which is used to regulate temperature and prevent overheating. In addition, growing use of LCVr as a material supplementing thermal insulation in industries such as automotive & transportation is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.
The scientific & research application segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising R&D activities pertaining advanced materials for various applications including cell phones, flat panel displays and optical devices. Furthermore, increasing R&D on new generation flexible display technologies that are based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) requires a high amount of retardation film which will boost industry growth further.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific liquid crystal variable retarders market is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to increasing industrialization and rapid urbanization in emerging economies such as China, India, and Indonesia. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with a growing population will drive product demand in this region. Furthermore, government initiatives for infrastructure development are expected to boost construction activities which will further propel industry expansion over the next eight years.
North America LCVR market accounted for more than 25% of global revenue share in 2017 owing to high acceptance of advanced technology products from end-users coupled with stringent regulations by regulatory bodies such as OSHA regarding employee safety standards during manufacturing processes using traditional retarders that results into increased adoption of LCVRs across various industries including scientific & research; medical; electronics; automotive; building & construction among others resulting into regional growth over the forecast period. The presence of major electronic device manufacturers including Micron Technology Inc.; Qualcomm Inc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for LCD TVs and monitors
- Rising demand for smart phones and tablets
- Growing popularity of 3D movies and video games
- Proliferation of digital signage applications
- Increasing adoption of LCVRs in automobiles
