Anti-Glare Polycarbonate

It’s Polycarbonate sheet with one side permanent Anti-glare coating. This coating is abrasion resistant and scratch resistant.

Excelite Non-Glare Plexiglass achieves its anti-glare effect through the application of a special non-glare coating on the surface of the plexiglass sheet. Non-glare coatings are designed to reduce glare and reflections caused by direct light sources.

While anti-glare screens offer benefits such as reduced reflections and improved visibility, they also come with some disadvantages. Here are a few potential drawbacks of anti-glare screens:

• Reduced Clarity: The matte or textured surface used in anti-glare coatings can impact the clarity of the display. Some users may notice a slight reduction in image sharpness and light transmission compared to glossy or standard screens.
• Visible Texture: The micro-texture applied to the Anti-glare screen might be noticeable, especially when viewed up close. This can result in a slightly grainy appearance, affecting the overall visual experience.
• Cost: Devices or screens with anti-glare coating might be more expensive than standard or glossy displays. The additional coating and manufacturing processes can contribute to higher production costs.

The terms “anti-glare” and “anti-reflection” are related but distinct. Anti-glare sheets focus on reducing direct light reflections, typically using textured coatings to scatter light and minimize glare. On the other hand, anti-reflection sheets aim to decrease reflections at material interfaces, enhancing optical clarity through thin films that minimize light reflection. While both technologies improve visibility, anti-glare is tailored for reducing glare from direct light sources, while anti-reflection is more concerned with minimizing reflections between different media, such as air and the sheet’s surface.

An anti-glare screen is worth it if you frequently encounter glare issues in bright environments, use your device outdoors, or prefer a matte appearance. However, consider potential drawbacks, such as a slight reduction in display clarity and the additional cost compared to standard glossy screens.

Yes, anti-glare screen protectors are designed to reduce reflections and glare, making screens more readable in bright environments. They work by using special coatings or films to scatter light and minimize glare, providing an effective solution for improving visibility.

Ultra-clear screens prioritize maximum clarity and vivid visuals, while anti-glare screens reduce reflections and glare in bright conditions, sacrificing a bit of clarity for improved visibility.
