Lumisty view control film
Lumisty is… a   view   control   film   which   scatters   incident   light   from   certain angles   whilst   transmitting   incident   light   from   all   other   angles. This    characteristic    means    that    the    appearance    of    Lumisty changes   from   transparent   to   translucent   depending   on   the   angle from which it is viewed. Made    from    mylar,    an    extraordinarily    strong    polyester    film, Lumisty’s    unique    effect    is    the    result    of    its    microstructure. Originally   invented   for ATM   screens   as   a   security   concept   Lumisty was   ‘discovered’   in   1998   by   the   Japanese   designer   of   the   Issey Miyake stores and an architectural product was born. Lumisty    appears    clear    or    frosted    depending    on    your    viewing angle and comes in 3 types: Frosted   when   viewed   straight-on,   clear   when   viewed   from either side Clear   when   viewed   straight-on,   frosted   when   viewed   from one side Clear   when   viewed   straight-on,   frosted   when   viewed   from either side
