Reflective PGU(VRP)

Product Description
3M™ Visible-light Reflective PGU (VRP) is areflective polarizing film used in Head-up
Display (HUD) applications to provide highbrightness for the projected image while reducing
undesired visible light sources projected back to
the Picture Generating Unit (PGU) through theHUD assembly. It is a multilayer polyester-based
film with 3M’s optically clear adhesive.

Construction Description
Multilayer structure with optically clear adhesive,adhesive release liner, and multilayer film
protective liner. Cross-section representation
