In our daily life, we all have experiences of being attacked by glare. Partly from the glare source, partly from the reflection of glare. It’s hard for us to see the display content clearly because of scenery outside reflection on the display cover glass surface during the equipment’s operating.If the same situation happen in medical and industrial equipment operation, and a series of irreparable errors may be occurred.

What is anti-glare technology of glass? Generally speaking,if we want to reduce the effect of glass reflected light, what we need is to do an anti-reflection treatment on the surface of glass that can obtain a good effect.

At present, there are two types of anti-glare technology, one is etching anti-glare technology, and the other is spraying anti-glare technology.

The etched anti-glare glass is adapted by chemical etching processing, which costs higher, and get lower yields. This kind of technology is hard to handled by ordinaries companies. Etched anti-glare glass is generally used in high-end applications. The surface spraying anti-glare technology is to spray one or two layers of AG liquid/anti-glare liquid on the glass surface, which can effectively increase the diffuse reflection of light, and then improve the anti-glare effect of glass. It is also called coated glass technology.This technology has low cost and is easy to handle. For now, spraying anti-glare technology is often used by most anti-glare glass suppliers.

Comparing to spraying anti-glare technology, what are the advantages of etching anti-glare glass?

1. The surface strength (hardness) of etched anti-glare glass is much higher than sprayed(coated) anti-glare glass. Especially used in the field of industrial control equipment. Because the glass surface is often written and painted, but also to withstand strict test of the harsh environment, which is more likely to damage the glass surface of spraying technology.
3. The etched anti-glare glass has a longer service life that is same as tempered glass. The etching surface will not peel off due to the environment and the above-mentioned factors of use.
5. Excellent anti-fingerprint and dust-proof performance. The anti-glare effect will not be temporarily lost due to the detergent.
7. Excellent optical properties, etching anti-glare glass can effectively reduce the bright spots caused by the flashing point. And the uniformity of the whole area is good. However, spraying anti-glare glass can only cause matte effect, and the gloss value uniformity of the whole area is poor, as well.
9. Low surface haze can effectively improve visible brightness.
11. Subsequent glass processing is easy: chemical etched anti-glare glass can effectively reduce the procedures that strengthening the glass first and coating it later during the spraying process.(because the high temperature due to the coating will reduce the glass strength by about 1/3).In addition, the glass will be coated anti-glare layer only depending on custom size. At that time, the cost will be quite high. And there is a need for cut-hole or notch, glass processing will be difficult for spraying anti-glare glass,and the cutting edge is easy to be broken.Owing to these advantages of etched anti-glare glass, our customers prefer to use it rather than to choose sprayed anti-glare glass.
