ITO Coatings Anti-Glare coating is commonly mistaken for Anti-Reflective coatings. Anti-glare doesn’t have any anti-static properties, it just stops glare. If you were to look at a piece of anti-glare coating that wasn’t held directly against a screen, it would look frosted.
While we don’t apply an anti-glare coating here at ITO Coatings, we can supply anti-glare coated plastics and glass that we buy in. We only apply anti-reflective coatings here at ITO Coatings.
Because of the similarity between the two, it would be prudent to discuss the notable differences:
Reflection:
Our anti-glare coatings are great at reducing the impact of reflections on the screen’s surface from the sun or strong lighting. Harsh lighting conditions greatly impact the readability on the device.
ITO Coatings wide range of anti-glare coated products are very good in their ability to diffuse strong light with a small sacrifice to the resolution of the display. The process we use to coat our products provides an anti-glare surface with clearer imaging at every level of lighting, while being more economically viable than other options.
Anti-Reflective Coatings:
ITO Coatings Anti-Reflective Coating is a conductive coating for glass, acrylic and polycarbonate substrates. The coating has a typical sheet resistance of 1000+ ohms/sq and spectral properties similar to those of Diamond Coating’s Diamox+ coating. The spectral properties offered by our Diamond AR anti-reflective coating for glass are comparable to the properties of our Diamox+ coatings, making it the perfect solution to a comprehensive range of applications.
ITO Coatings anti-reflective coating is an optical coating that we apply to surfaces of lenses as well as other materials to essentially reduce glare. The main benefit of our anti-reflective coated glass is that it gets rid of the actual reflection, think about coatings on glasses for example, that lets other see the wearers eyes more clearly, or a coating that significantly dampense the glint one might get from a telescope lense.
Our Anti-Glare Coating is also widely used on Cinema Projector Portal Glass. Find out why our coating is used to protect cinema’s most valuable asset: https://www.diamondcoatings.co.uk/cinema-projector-glass/
