A common specification error “AG/AR hard coated lens.” This appears regularly on RFQs. It can represent a valid requirement for a combined optical treatment, but in other cases it is used as shorthand without clearly defining the required optical performance. When comparing anti-glare vs anti-reflective cover lenses, it is important to understand that the two treatments solve different optical problems. They operate using different physical principles and produce different vi

Choosing the right material for your display cover lens Selecting the right substrate is one of the most important decisions when designing a cover lens for an electronic display. Polycarbonate, acrylic (PMMA) and glass can all provide excellent solutions, but each offers different advantages. Impact resistance, optical clarity, scratch resistance, weight, UV exposure, chemical resistance and the operating environment can all influence the final material choice. At Display Pr

Marine electronic displays operate in some of the most demanding environments for a cover lens. High ambient light, UV exposure, saltwater, cleaning chemicals, temperature changes and repeated physical contact can all affect optical performance and long-term durability. Selecting the right cover lens therefore requires the substrate, optical surface treatment, mechanical performance and environmental resistance to be considered together as part of the display design.
