I layered a BEF II 90/50 and DBEF E film behind the LCD panel and it totally helped. Didn't seem to make much of a difference with brightness, however it's much better in the sun, actually still visible in direct sunlight. I swear the aliens made this stuff, there's no way this is made here on earth. : )

Those 2 films, based on free samples, and 2 hours time I now have an great screen in my truck now.
My question is this ... when someone purchases a 'transflective' upgrade, what films are typically used? This same 3M product or something else ?
PS - gloves and patience definately required.

Look like a nice result.
Got a question for you regarding to the installation of the films.
Can you specify what layer should be on top of the other?
TS - LCD Panel - BEF - DBEF - Defuser layer - backlight .... Is that the order?
BTW, For those who had order them. I did request sample from them before but they didn't give it to me. Instead, they send me the product cost and dealer where to buy them. It's probably because I used a wrong link to contact them (Inquiry instead of product sample).
However, I recently requests sample from them again. Without any info, the package just show up in my mail box within a week. The stupid postman fold it up and stuck in the mail box. I also ordered some DBEF film from fleebay.
I think the main reason they email to ask for more info is because you guys probably writing an essay in the "short description of your application". For me, I just put "enhance brightness of existing mobile multimedia display". Short and get to the point. Also the volume of "sample order" has significantly increase over the past week trigger their decision.
Now I need to find time to put the thing in.
