What is AR coating (anti-reflection coating) and what is it used for?

AR (Anti-Reflection) coating, also known as anti-reflection film, is a coating that reduces light reflection from the substrate surface and increases transmittance. It is abbreviated as AR.
AR (Anti-Reflection) coating is a processing technology that applies a thin film of material with a different refractive index to the glass surface, changing the light transmission characteristics and suppressing light reflection. It is usually produced using two processing methods: dry and wet.
By using AR coating, reflections can be prevented and the reflectivity can be reduced to around 0.5% to 2% even when the angle of incidence is 0 degrees.

NIMASO's unique anti-reflective coating reduces glare from sunlight and fluorescent lights, making the screen easy to see even during extended use and ideal for preventing smartphone fatigue and eye strain.
Usage :
AR coating is usually applied to materials such as glass, PMMA (acrylic resin), PC (polycarbonate resin), and PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and is used in glass plates, LCD panels, optical lenses, astronomical observation, etc. AR coating is also found in everyday items such as eyeglass lenses and computer displays.

Prevents light reflection, improves transmittance, and makes the screen easier to see
Light is reflected at the interface between a material and air. Glass allows light to pass through, but when light passes through glass, approximately 4% is reflected from the front and back surfaces, for a total of approximately 8%. This causes reflections and glare.
AR coated glass film reduces light reflection and improves transmittance, reducing glare and glare. It also minimizes light reflection, ensuring clear and easy viewing of the screen.

How exactly do you want to reduce it?

Quote: geomatec, eenah
Regular protective glass films have a transmittance of approximately 92% and reflect 8% of light . Glass films with AR coating have a transmittance of approximately 95.5%-99%. Glass films with AR coating on one side reflect approximately 4.5% of light , and glass films with AR coating on both sides reflect approximately 1% of light .
In other words, AR-coated glass film can reduce light reflection by up to 80% .
