BrightView Expands Gain Enhancement Film Portfolio to Enable Brighter, More Efficient Displays 

Advanced computational optics deliver nearly 30% higher luminance for edge-lit displays 
 compared to conventional down diffusers

Research Triangle Park, NC – June 26, 2025 - BrightView Technologies, a global leader in computational optics, has expanded its Gain Enhancement Films (GEFs) portfolio to optimize optical performance across emerging technologies.  Leveraging BrightView’s advanced micro lens array (MLA) technology, these next generation films significantly boost brightness and optical efficiency in edge-lit displays, enabling improved energy efficiency and extended battery life.  

“Optical performance and power management are critical priorities for today’s most innovative technologies, from AI-enabled consumer devices to the next generation of electric vehicles,” said Jennifer Aspell, CEO of BrightView Technologies. “By expanding our GEF portfolio, we are providing more versatile tools to tailor optical designs for evolving needs, enabling our customers to deliver superior user experiences.” 

BrightView’s GEFs serve as high-performance alternatives to traditional down diffusers, enhancing display brightness and uniformity. They are compatible with a wide-range of edge-lit back light architectures – including specular or white reflectors, and single or crossed BEFs – making them ideal for both new designs and retrofits of existing systems.  BrightView collaborates closely with customers throughout the design process to ensure each solution meets specific brightness targets, field-of-view parameters, and other unique application needs. 

“With our proprietary AI design platform, we work hand-in-hand with customers to translate their functional goals into advanced optical MLA components precisely tailored to each application,” added Aspell. “This customized approach gives product developers a powerful advantage in bringing their next generation display innovations to life.” 

BrightView’s proprietary MLA-based films are engineered with micro structures – just millionths of a meter in size – to precisely guide the propagation of light. Applying principles of refraction and total internal reflection, these solutions outperform traditional light-scattering diffusers by enhancing light uniformity, brightness, and efficiency. Manufactured via BrightView’s roll-to-roll production process, they offer scalable, high-volume deployment for global device manufacturers. 

BrightView’s computational optics solutions are used in a broad range of technology sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive, lighting, augmented reality and virtual reality, horticulture and more. For more information on BrightView, visit www.brightviewtechnologies.com.
