Introduction
Hello everyone! Film was invented to "prevent" peeping, but from a social perspective, it has a very deep meaning.
This time, we will be discussing "anti-spy film," explaining the research results, advantages and disadvantages, and situations in which it is recommended.
▼Let’s get straight into the main text▼
Survey on privacy film
① Popularity trends
Top: Popularity trends over the past 12 months Bottom: Popularity trends over the past 5 years
*The figures represent relative search interest in relation to the highest value on the graph for a specific region and time period.
The above is a graph comparing the "popularity trends" of "anti-spy films" over a 12-month period (December 2022 to December 2023) and a 5-year period (December 2018 to December 2023).
As the data shows, the line graph for "anti-spy film" is on an upward trend even in the long term. In particular, the trend is getting stronger after 2023, so it is expected that the popularity of "anti-spy film" will continue to increase in the future.
② Reasons for the demand for "peeping prevention"
There are various reasons for the growing demand for "anti-spy films." For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digitalization, raising concerns about information leaks and the frequent occurrence of cases of personal information being misused. More and more people are worried about their privacy being spied on and are using "anti-spy films."
It is true that the COVID-19 pandemic has made people feel more anxious about their social lives. It could be said that "peeping prevention" can alleviate some of that anxiety.
Please see the survey results of the "Third Public Opinion Poll on COVID-19" published by NHK.
As shown in the image, when asked what would happen if society went online, the most common answer was "People who cannot use the Internet well will be left behind" at 70%, followed by "It will save time and money on travel, and improve efficiency" at 50%. This shows that the onlineization of society has had a major impact on people.
Next, we will use the My Number card as an example to explain the anxiety that comes with having personal information leaked .
Top: Concerns about information such as website browsing history
Below: Risk of personal information leaks when online
As shown in the image on the left, approximately 79% of people are "concerned" about personal information , such as website browsing and shopping history, being obtained by service providers. In addition, by gender, more women than men answered that they were "concerned."
As shown in the image on the right, 54% of people "feel" there is a risk of their personal information being leaked when using online services . Also, excluding those who answered "I do not use online services," when asked whether they feel there is a risk of their personal information being leaked, more women than men answered that they "feel" there is a risk.
In conclusion, the increasing popularity of "security films" is likely influenced by concerns about information leaks that have come with the rise of onlineization in recent years, as well as fears about personal information being leaked and misused. The onlineization of society has brought convenience, but at the same time, it has also raised awareness of the need to protect personal information, which has led to a demand for preventative measures. As the NHK survey results show, concerns about personal information leaks are on the rise, especially among women. Given these circumstances, we can conclude that privacy films are becoming increasingly popular.
3) Conduct anonymous surveys
We conducted a survey asking, " Would you like to try an anti-spy film ?"
The answer is here ▼
Main opinions ▼
- Comment A: I'm not interested in other people's screens, so I don't think there's any need to worry too much. I don't feel the need for privacy screen protectors in particular.
- Comment B: From a security standpoint, I think women should try privacy film.
- Comment C: I think it is also important from a crime prevention perspective.
- Comment D: I don't think there's any need to worry about someone looking at my smartphone, so I question the need for privacy film.
Opinions about privacy films vary, but most reasons to try one are for privacy and security reasons.
In fact, there are people who look at screens, so I think there are quite a few people who will fall victim to this. Only you can protect your personal information. If you are worried about others looking at your screen, please consider using a privacy screen protector.
Summary of survey results

2) As society continues to move online, many people are concerned about the risk of their personal information being leaked, and are becoming more conscious of protecting their personal information. This is likely why more people are using privacy protection films to protect their privacy.

NIMASO Fun Facts: Privacy film has fine micro louvers that control the direction of light emission to only the front direction, preventing people from looking at the screen from the left and right (specific light is allowed to pass through and other light is blocked). At the same time, it also suppresses incoming light from the outside, so the screen can be clearly seen when viewed from the front. A look at the principles of privacy protection film →
