Anti-Glare Polycarbonate Sheet
Excelite’s anti-glare polycarbonate sheet has a permanent non-glare coating, which has a much finer surface to maintain high image quality and more clearer while effectively reducing glare. Advances in technology have allowed for anti-glare screens that strike a balance between image quality and glare reduction, and high light transmission.
An “anti-glare” sheet refers to a technology or treatment applied to surfaces, such as screens, lenses, or transparent materials like polycarbonate sheets or Perspex sheets, aimed at minimizing glare or reflections caused by direct light. This technology involves the application of coatings or treatments to surfaces to either diffuse or absorb light. It enhance visibility and reducing eye strain, especially in bright lighting conditions.
What types of Anti glare sheets?
There are different types of non-glare sheet available, use different methods to achieve the desired results. Matte anti-glare Perspex features a slightly textured surface that disperses light, reducing glare. Another treatment is a glossy anti-glare coating on top of perspex sheet. It combines non glare feature with a glossy finish to maintain image sharpness while minimizing reflections.

The Difference of Matte and Anti-Glare
Matte and anti-glare are both aim to reduce glare and reflections. They are in different techniques.
An anti-glare display typically utilizes a coating that diffuses reflections, making it easier to view the screen in bright conditions and improving overall visibility.
Matte displays have a textured surface that scatters light, reducing glare and reflections. However, the slightly grainy texture of matte displays can impact the clarity compared to glossy or anti-glare perspex.
Key Differences between Anti-glare and Anti-reflection
- Type of Reflection: Anti-glare sheet focuses on reducing direct light reflections (glare), while anti-reflection sheet deals with minimizing reflections at the interface between different materials.
- Surface Texture: Anti-glare coatings often involve a slightly textured surface to disperse light, while anti-reflection has a glossy surface.
- Applications: Anti-glare is commonly found in displays and screens, where direct light can cause glare. Anti-reflection is more prevalent in optical applications, such as lenses and eyeglasses, where the focus is on improving visual clarity.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
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.
