Anti-reflective coating
Anti-reflective coating refers to a special coating that aims to reduce or prevent annoying reflections on surfaces. This coating is often used on eyeglass lenses, screens, camera lenses and other optical devices to improve visibility and minimize distracting glare.
The anti-reflective coating works by reducing the reflection of light off the surface of the coated substance. This is achieved by applying thin layers with specific optical properties. By specifically controlling the refraction and transmission of light, the incident light is minimized, resulting in a reduction of disturbing reflections.
The benefits of an anti-reflective coating extend across various areas of application. In optics, it improves the clarity of spectacle lenses by reducing reflections and enabling better vision in different lighting conditions. On screens and displays, it helps to minimize distracting glare and improve readability.
Anti-reflective coating technology has undergone progressive development in recent years, making it more effective and durable. This coating makes a significant contribution to improving the visual quality and user-friendliness of various optical products in our everyday lives.
