Optical Film Selection Guide

Film Category	Typical Use	Selection Notes
Linear Polarizer Film	Polarization control, contrast improvement, inspection and optical experiments	Check wavelength range, transmission, extinction ratio, size, thickness and whether adhesive is required.
Circular Polarizer / Retardation Film	Circular polarization, optical phase control and display / imaging applications	Confirm handedness, retardation value, wavelength range, film orientation and system configuration.
NIR / Wire-Grid Polarizer	Near-infrared imaging, machine vision, sensors and specialized optical systems	Selection should be based on wavelength, contrast requirement, heat conditions, substrate type and optical layout.
AR / AGAR Film	Reflection and glare reduction on displays, panels and optical surfaces	Check surface type, required size, touch-panel compatibility, adhesive type and indoor / environmental conditions.
OCA / Optical Adhesive Film	Bonding optical films, panels or transparent components	Check thickness, size, lamination method, pressure / temperature conditions and final optical requirements.
