Parallax is an ambient light-rejecting technology that features a micro-layered optical lens system that rejects light. This new technology mimics the look of a television when it is on and when it is off but without the glare from windows or lighting fixtures. With extremely wide viewing angles no speckle and no glare the surface is ideal for applications in Pro AV as well as Home Theater. Additionally the surface is flexible ships in a roll and is easy to install. Each layer of Parallax plays a role in preserving the image that is reflected back to the viewer in high ambient light environments. Some layers absorb light while one special layer is shaped like a microscopic saw-tooth that blocks light from above resulting in the preservation of high-contrast bright images in brightly lit environments.
