Resistance to charge generation, and superior static decay characteristics and cannot be tribocharged.The product displays excellent control of both electrostatic discharge (ESD) and particulate attraction. Permanent characteristics are not affected by humidity.Applications NOXTAT SD™ polycarbonate plastic is a sound choice for manufacturing applications where effects of ESD could cause rejects or hidden latent damage to sensitive electronic devices. This product is widely used in the semi-conductor, electronic and micro-manufacturing industries.It is also used in other industrial applications such as screen assembly, packaging, explosive environments where static discharge must be prevented and applications where sensitive process instrumentation and equipment must be protected from static charge.The polycarbonate sheet may be fabricated into a wide variety of shapes using the equipment used for uncoated sheet products. The product is not suitable, however, for most heat-formed configurations because the hard cross-linked polymer surface is not designed for heat bending. NOXTAT SDB™ has been designed for heat bending.When gluing it is necessary to mechanically remove the coating surface to insure a good bond. More information about fabrication is provided in a Technical Information Bulletin.Some applications have included covers, guards, access panels, machine windows and doors, static control shields, glove boxes, electronic equipment, process instrumentation, conveyor line covers, clean room windows and doors, partitions, and pass through modules.

| CINEMAX RP™ – Rear Projection Screen |
| Description The CINEMAX-RP screen is a single element screen that uses standard video or film, and a single standard projector to create an apparent three-dimensional image. The depth generated by the screen is based on a diffraction theory and is not based on stereoscopic theory. If one of the eyes of the viewer is closed, the enhanced depth effect of the screen is unaffected, because the depth is monoscopic and not stereoscopic. The images gain enhanced apparent resolution and depth, independent of the medium on which they were originally recorded.The optical properties of the screen repackage the physical light carrying the image into wavelets with a specific microstructure that is seen by the eye as optical depth and resolution. The light is repackaged by the scattering properties of the screen, wherein each point in the screen resonantly scatters a different color. Around each scattering point a self-diffraction pattern is created with sphereity, giving the apparent depth to the viewer.Applications The CINEMAX-RP screen is available as a rear projection screen. The Cinemax-RP screen is a translucent diffusion type screen. This screen also displays images with enhanced apparent depth and resolution; the projector is placed behind the screen without creating a hot spot. It is designed to operate as a screen in any application.The screen is made on acrylic sheet, making it appropriate for installation in a wall or to suspend from a ceiling. The screen is an optical element, so it should be handled appropriately, but is hard coated to make it quite durable and abrasion resistant.Optional Extras TEC-COAT High Contrast tint Factory mounted aluminum frameProduct Features and Benefits The CINEMAX-RP screen will produce an apparent three-dimensional image, whereby the person or object is collected on film or video from a single view, with a conventional camera.Eliminates the need for dual cameras as employed in stereoscopic or time sequential techniques.With the use of a conventional camera the objective image is illuminated with incoherent white light as it is collected [unlike holography where the person or object must be illuminated with laser (coherent) light]. Makes it possible to produce images without the limitations in size that inhibit holography. A three dimensional image can be collected on video from a single view, with a standard video camera and displayed immediately in real time Enables the presentation to be used in a communication or real time broadcast device unlike holography or composite holographic techniques. ACP NOXTAT’s CINEMAX-RP screen offers ultra-high resolution and superior off angle viewing. It is the optimum screen to match high ambient light condition requirements. Our optical diffusion coatings are permanently applied to the substrate and will not peel off like laminated film or vinyl based diffusion screens. Factory framing options are available to enable easy installation into a stand-alone unit or wall opening. Custom sizes are available.

The light is repackaged by the scattering properties of the screen, wherein each point in the screen resonantly scatters a different color. Around each scattering point a self-diffraction pattern is created with sphereity, giving the apparent depth to the viewer.Applications The HOLOMAX 3D™ is a specialized passive transparent screen on which isolated images of persons are projected with video and appear to be life size, apparent three-dimensional humans, thus creating the illusion of the physical presence of the human being. The screen can also display standard picture footage, and give the picture enhanced apparent depth and resolution.The screen is made on acrylic sheet, making it appropriate for installation in a wall or to suspend from a ceiling. The screen is an optical element, so it should be handled appropriately, but is hard coated to make it quite durable and abrasion resistant.Product Features and Benefits The HOLOMAX 3D™ screen will produce an apparent three-dimensional image, whereby the person or object is collected on film or video from a single view, with a conventional camera.

Eliminates the need for eyewear, which is normally required by alternating polarization or time-sequential stereographic techniques. An image can be projected with a single conventional video or film projection unit. Eliminates the need for two projectors as is required by the alternating polarization stereoscopic techniques or the need for expensive time sequential light valve projection systems as required by time sequential stereoscopic techniques. Requires only a single screen for three-dimensional presentation. Eliminates the need for a background screen as required by dual screen systems. To produce a three dimensional image of a single person or object of life-size or larger proportions for a cost that does not exceed the cost for recording and displaying a standard video.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
GLOSSARY OF COMMONLY USED TERMS
COMMONLY USED ESD TERMS
COMMONLY USED HARD COATING TERMS
COMMONLY USED PROJECTION SCREEN TERMS
BRIGHTNESS
“Brightness” is a psycho-physiological phenomenon that cannot be measured
directly. The term “photometric brightness” was at one time used to refer to
luminance. However, it is no longer used for scientific or engineering purposes.
FOOT-CANDLE
A foot-candle is equivalent to one lumen per square foot (where a lumen is a
measure of the luminous flux, or quantity of light).
A wax candle flame has a luminous intensity (or equivalently,
candlepower) of approximately one candela. If you hold the candle one foot
away from a surface, the illuminance of the surface at this distance due
to the light from the candle will be approximately one foot-candle. It will be
1/4 fc at two feet, 1/9 fc at three feet, and so on in accordance with the inverse
square law for point light sources.
ILLUMINANCE
In plain English, illuminance is the quantity of light arriving at a point
on a real or imaginary surface. (The point does not have to be located on a
physical surface.)
LUMEN
A Lumen is a quantity of light, the same kind of unit as a watt, but measured
in such a way that takes into account the sensitivity of the eye. If you are
looking at the specification of a light source Lumens are the measured as the
entire output, no matter which direction the light is going in.
LUX
A Lux is a lumen per square meter, which we might call illumination in
Layman’s terms but, when speaking technically, it is referred to as illuminance.
It is how much light that falls on a surface.
NIT
A Nit is a lumen per square meter per steradian, which we might call
brightness to our family members, but luminance to our peers. If a Lux of illuminance
strikes a perfectly diffusing surface it gives a Nit of luminance.
CANDELA
A candela is a lumen per steradian. It is used for “point” sources so that
you can calculate how much light is cast on a surface no matter where
the surface is.
