Advanced Solutions for Modern Touchscreens
When it comes to touchscreens, cover glass must meet two critical criteria: high light transmittance to display functions clearly and reduced surface reflections. If you've struggled with glare and poor visibility on your devices, you know how frustrating it can be. At Interelectronix, we understand the demands of modern touchscreen applications and the importance of superior display performance. With our extensive experience in the industry, we offer advanced solutions to tackle these challenges head-on. Dive in to discover how our anti-glare and anti-reflective technologies can revolutionize your touchscreen experience.
The Critical Role of Cover Glass in Touchscreens
Cover glass in touchscreens must balance two essential requirements. First, it needs to have high light transmittance to ensure that the display functions are shown in the best possible way. Second, it must reduce reflections on the glass surface to enhance visibility and usability. This dual demand for clarity and minimal reflection is crucial in delivering optimal performance for any touchscreen device.
The Objective of Anti-Reflective Coatings
The goal of anti-reflective (AR) coatings is to eliminate reflections by manipulating the angle of incident light to cause destructive interference of the reflected rays. This process significantly improves contrast and readability. By addressing the issues of reflection, AR coatings ensure that the content on the screen is visible and easy to read, even in challenging lighting conditions.
The Objective of Anti-Glare Coatings
Anti-glare (AG) coatings work differently by scattering incoming light to reduce the intensity of reflections. This scattering effect minimizes glare, making the screen easier to read under various lighting conditions. AG coatings are particularly effective in diffusing light to ensure that high-resolution displays remain clear and legible, even in bright environments.
Anti-Reflective Coating Options
Interelectronix offers two main methods to reduce glare and protect touchscreens from direct light exposure: Mechanical Anti-Glare Coating and Optical Lambda ¼ Anti-Reflective Coating. These options cater to different needs and applications, ensuring that you can find the perfect solution for your specific requirements.
Mechanical Anti-Glare Coating
Interelectronix uses high-strength aluminosilicate glass for mechanical anti-glare coating, combining superior glare reduction with exceptional break and scratch resistance. This coating significantly reduces glare effects on high-resolution displays, even in adverse lighting conditions. The innovative and highly flexible etching process allows for the customization of gloss levels to meet specific needs. This surface treatment does not alter the mechanical properties and strength of the base glass, making it suitable for chemical strengthening and thermal tempering. A uniform and homogeneous surface modification leads to improved visibility and a smoother touch experience, ensuring that the display remains readable and easy to interact with.
Lambda ¼ Anti-Reflective Coating
The Lambda ¼ anti-reflective coating is specially designed for outdoor use where strong sunlight is expected. By reducing the reflection degree on the treated surface through destructive interference of the reflected rays, this coating achieves outstanding performance. The anti-reflective effect is achieved by laminating a so-called Lambda-Quarter film onto the glass surface, resulting in a residual reflection of only 1%. This extremely high degree of anti-reflection ensures the readability of a display even in bright sunlight. Similar to other refinement options, such as optical bonding, any dust or dirt inclusion must be avoided during the anti-reflective process to ensure its effectiveness. Therefore, the anti-reflective process takes place in a cleanroom environment.
