Innovations in Energy Efficiency
3M innovations open the door to energy efficiencies that were once considered impossible – until now. Our breakthrough display films optimize light, for brighter, lighter, thinner and more energy-efficient displays.
The Efficiency of Light
Our paper-thin display films enhance and reflect light better than any other substances on earth. This technology allows LCD display manufacturers to use fewer bulbs to get the same stunning visual performance from the display. Fewer bulbs mean that less power is needed to run your device.
Saving Energy Today and Tomorrow
3M Optical Systems innovations help make your everyday devices ultra-efficient. Here's a sneak peek at what's happening with some of your favorite products today, and some of the exciting innovations we're planning for tomorrow:
LCD TVs: Brilliant Efficiency
3M Optical Systems has rewritten the rules of traditional LCD TV design. Our technology uses light more efficiently, requiring less power while giving you superior performance.
Today, our technology:
- Can help reduce power consumption as much as 37% in medium to large TVs
- Increases brightness by 30% or more
Tomorrow, we'll give you:

Desktop Displays: See the Light
Our brilliant display films optimize light, allowing manufacturers to design desktop displays with brighter, more colorful displays – and a striking degree of energy efficiency.
Today, our technology:
- Increases brightness by 30% or more
- Reduces power consumption by as much as 30%
- Enables displays to receive PoE: Power over Ethernet!
Tomorrow, we'll give you:
See energy use in context
The Bottom Line
When your products are built with 3M technology, you gain efficiencies that offer the best possible performance while consuming less energy – allowing your devices to run longer than ever before.
They also offer another brilliant factor: you can be confident that you are gaining this quality and efficiency from products that are more sustainable.
