By Developing a Technology That Bends Light


3M innovators pioneered a technology platform

incorporating thousands of tiny grooves into a

plastic surface to achieve light-bending properties.

We Set Our Idea on a Journey Where it Evolved intoa New Opportunity


The technology moved from

overhead projectors to traffic signals

on the roads.

3M experts then began exploring new

possibilities for the technology in abrasives,

in magnetic recording and in the emerging field

of flat-panel displays (LCDs).

Brightness Enhancement Film (BEF)

became a game-changer for 3M,

making screens brighter and thinner

at the same time, optimizing all anglesof light while extending battery life.
