MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - November 13, 2009) - JDSU (NASDAQ : JDSU ) (TSX : JDU ) today announced
that is has won an IHMA Excellence in
Holography Award from the International Hologram Manufacturer's Association
for its HoloFuse™ polycarbonate film in the Best Applied
Security Product category. JDSU received the award at the annual
Holo-Pack/Holo-Print event on November 12th in Budapest, Hungary.
Sponsored by Holography News and now in their 16th year, the IHMA awards
recognize outstanding achievements in holography, focusing on the
commercial benefits delivered to vendors and their customers.
"HoloFuse is an innovative solution that provides a whole new level of
security for critical documents, while also helping card manufacturers meet
their objectives for efficient manufacturing," said Adam Scheer, marketing
director of Authentication Solutions for the AOT business segment at JDSU.
"This prestigious award represents our commitment to provide innovative
solutions for the holography market. JDSU is immensely proud to be a 2009
IHMA award winner."
Philip Hudson, Chairman of the IHMA and Chairman of the judging panel,
commented: "We had absolutely no hesitation awarding JDSU's HoloFuse
product for the Best Applied Security Product category. By integrating the
hologram into polycarbonate, JDSU has provided document manufacturers with
an easy way of improving the security of their cards without having to make
wholesale changes to the manufacture process. We congratulate the company
for this excellent innovation."
JDSU's HoloFuse polycarbonate film was introduced in May 2009 and helps
protect
government-issued identity documents such as passports, national identity
documents and driver's licenses against counterfeiting and tampering.
HoloFuse is the first solution that includes a hologram that is integrated
into a polycarbonate film without the use of adhesives.
The film in turn becomes the clear outer layer of identity documents,
helping to reduce the ability of counterfeiters to separate card layers and
tamper with their security. In addition, providing an integrated solution
simplifies the manufacturing process for card and identity document makers.
