For the first time customers using glass covers, what kind of glass material do you choose for the product? Ordinary float glass? Or is the Corning Gorilla Glass which is popular on mobile phones? How can you choose the proper glass material for your product like an expert does? Let’s take a look at some usual glass materials.
- AG anti-glare glass
The main function of AG anti-glare glass is to solve reflection.
Is your product used outdoors or under bright light?
Is the reflective problem users most concerned about?
Have you received any complaint from customers that they can’t see the display screen clearly?
Is it necessary for customers to have a comfortable and painless visual effect when using the product for a long time?
Is the opponent’s product particularly popular with the highlights of the word “anti-glare”?
Do you have granular sensation when you touch the opponent’s glass covers?
That’s right, this is the AG anti-glare glass!
Application: outdoor military computer, ATM, Aeronautic and Marine Display Screen, Train Display Screen, Medical Equipment, Agricultural Machinery, Excavator and so on.
2.Corning Gorilla Glass
This is a high-end aluminum silicate glass used on mobile phones. Its characteristics are high transmittance, high scratch-resistance and high resistance to falling. In addition to mobile phones, watches and other consumer goods, and it is very popular in the industrial control industry, as well. Many European and American customers will specify the Corning Gorilla Glass. Because of its smooth surface and crystal-clear appearance, it is a bright spot where it is placed, which shows a high-end atmosphere. More importantly, as long as the customers require “high strength”, Corning Gorilla Glass will be always a better choice than others. The 2.0mm thickness gorilla glass can reach the impact test of 500g steel ball with a height drop of 2 meters.
Applications: Smart Home, Medical Devices, Smart Handheld Devices, Smart Wearables, etc.
- AGC dragon-tail glass
Another high-end aluminum silicate glass used on phones is the Japanese AGC’s dragon-trail glass, which has the same characteristics as corning gorilla glass: high transmittance, high scratch resistance, high resistance to falling. Many Japanese customers often choose to use this glass material.
Applications: Smart Home, Medical Devices, Smart Handheld Devices, Smart Wearables, etc.
- AR(Anti-Reflective) glass
Increasing transmittance is the main function of AR glass.
AR glass can meet the requirement of “ultra high definition”. The transmittance of ordinary float glass is 85%, even the transmittance of corning gorilla glass is 92%, which is not enough. At this time, what you need is AR glass. Just like the phone’s camera which is made of AR glass.
Up to 98% transmittance is guaranteed to bring ultra-high definition effect to your display screen.
Application field: Mobile Phone Camera, Projector Camera, Advertising Machine, etc.
