Developed by Nitto, RAYCREA is the light control technology enabling new forms of light expression.
You can see the features of RAYCREA, such as "light distribution control," "Duality," "transparency," and "flexibility" in the video.
RAYCREA lighting transmits background light even when turning on, so you can see a variety of expressions created by the overlapping of light when multiple pieces are layered on top of each other.
Leading figures from a range of fields, including architecture, product design and visual expression, were among the first to experience RAYCREA. As leaders in exploring new possibilities of both expression and technology, how do they see the potential of RAYCREA?
Detailed information about RAYCREA™ can be downloaded from "Basic Specifications", and about the equipment used in various cases can be downloaded from "Case Studies and Assembly Drawings".
A.
Light guiding is also possible with glass. When laminated to float glass, there is a color shift and light attenuation compared to acrylic panels.
You can see an image of actual light emissions with the acrylic panel and glass on the RAYCREA features page.
A.
It is currently limited to indoor use.
A.
Laminating on two-dimensional curved surfaces is possible.
A.
By joining multiple sheets of film, it is possible to cover even large areas. The seamless film is approximately 1 meter from the light source. You can see an image of the seams of RAYCREA film on the RAYCREA features page.
A.
It is 0.5mm or less. For detailed physical properties of RAYCREA film, please download the "Basic Specifications" from this form.
A.
The film can be shaped into any form, and various expressions can be achieved depending on how it is laminated to the light guide. Please see the RAYCREA features page for actual processing examples.
A.
It emits light from both sides, but the amount of light is attenuated significantly. We recommend applying it to one side.
A.
Depending on the material of the films, but generally it can be used with them.
A.
Due to the structure of the film, the direction of light input is limited.
A.
With acrylic panels, light guiding has been confirmed up to about 2 meters from the light source (the luminous effect may appear weak due to the light distribution). In addition, a film seam will occur at about 1 meter from the light source due to the manufacturing process of RAYCREA film. You can see the images of the seams and light guiding of RAYCREA film on the RAYCREA features page.
A.
It is possible to change the color of the acrylic panel by changing the color of the light source since it emits light of almost the same color as the light source. You can see an image of color emission on the RAYCREA features page.
A.
The brightness can be changed by adjusting the output of the light source.
A.
Any LED line lighting can be used. Our samples use the following products. Additionally, a DC 5V cable and a remote control are required to turn on the light.

A.
Light usually diminishes as it get far from the light source. You can see an image of the light attenuation on the RAYCREA features page.
A.
The thinner the light guide, the stronger the light emission. We recommend thickness of 10 mm or less.
A.
Due to the characteristics of RAYCREA film, the lighting has directional properties.
It is characterized by its high transparency when the lights are off and by the directional properties of lighting. For more details, please see the RAYCREA features page.
A.
We will be providing either a film or a laminated panel as a sample.
A.
There are no functions specific to projectors. It can be used in combination with a projector screen.
A.
Please fill out the inquiry form since it is currently in a limited sales cannels.
