What is glass surface treatment? What is the difference between AG and AR glass?

Whether it is glass of touch panel or LCD module, Sinotectronics can provide different surface treatment solutions including AG (Anti-glare) / AR (Anti-reflective) / AF (Anti-fingerprint) / AB (Anti-bacteria).

So what is AG (Anti-glare) Glass?

Anti-glare glass is made by spraying or etching the surface of glass. The surface of the treated glass is no longer flat. When light goes through the glass, it is reflected diffusely, randomly in all directions rather than in one direction.

Compared with ordinary glass, anti-glare glass has a lower reflection ratio, so as to reduce the interference of intense ambient light then improve the image quality, so that viewers will enjoy a better visual experience. Advantages are as follows:

• Fuzzy Light-Eyesight Protection
• Anti-corrosion
• Anti-fingerprint
• Scuffing Prevention
• Vehicle touch display with AG Glass-Excellent Safety Performance

(Remark: Tempered glass is not suitable for AG surface treatment.)

And what is AR (Anti-reflective) Glass?

Anti-reflective glass is also called non-reflection glass. It is a kind of glass whose surface is specially treated. The principle is that the high-quality glass is frosted on one or both sides and then polished.

Compared with ordinary glass, more light can pass through the surface of the anti-reflective glass, making it have a lower reflection ratio, thereby reducing the interference of ambient light, improving the clarity of the picture, reducing screen reflection, and making the image clearer and more realistic.

Is it a little hard to distinguish AG and AR glass? Just look at the picture below:
