Are anti reflective coatings and anti fingerprint coatings the same thing?

The glass AF coating machine, with its unique technology and performance characteristics, plays an important role in many fields, endowing glass products with stronger functions and longer service life, meeting people's demand for high-quality glass products.

AG coating (anti glare coating) can turn the original glass reflective surface into a matte diffuse reflective surface to reduce glare and improve screen clarity while maintaining true color performance. Even in harsh environments, this coating has excellent durability, making anti glare glass an ideal choice for display devices in various applications. Whether used indoors or outdoors, it ensures an excellent visual experience. The AF anti fingerprint technology, AG anti glare coating technology, and AR anti reflection coating technology of the seismometer can process various surface characteristics of AG glass products, including haze and glossiness, according to specific requirements. Currently, they are widely used in various displays, including mobile phones, tablets, computers, automotive displays, and industrial control displays.

Firstly, let's take a look at the technology of anti reflective coating, which is AR coating (anti reflective coating). Glass involves applying one or more anti reflective layers on the surface of the glass, which can reduce light reflection on the glass, thereby increasing the surface transmittance and minimizing visible light reflection. This enables light to penetrate glass more effectively, enhancing the transmission of visible light. AR coated glass can achieve a transmittance of over 95%, and in some cases even close to 99%, providing extremely high transparency performance. Anti reflective coated glass is commonly used in fields that require high light transmittance and reduced glare, making display glass clearer and brighter while also reducing eye fatigue.

Secondly, AF coating (anti fingerprint coating) and AS anti stain coating technology effectively reduce the adhesion of fingerprints and other stains on the glass surface, keeping it clean and transparent, while improving the aesthetic quality and user experience of the product.

AF anti fingerprint coating forms a hydrophobic and oleophobic protective layer on the glass surface, significantly reducing surface tension to repel water, oil, and dust, making cleaning more convenient and easy. In addition to minimizing maintenance time and costs, these technologies also extend the product's lifespan, making it an ideal choice for devices that require frequent contact or cleaning. Currently, AF anti fingerprint coating technology and AS anti fouling technology are widely used in the fields of smartphones, tablets, and automobiles. Next, let me explain in detail, what are the functions of each?

1. Mobile phone screens are highly susceptible to fingerprints and oil stains. The use of AF coating technology can provide scratch resistant performance on the screen surface and protect the phone screen, reducing scratches and extending the lifespan of the screen.

2. Tablet screen: Similar to mobile phone screens, tablet screens are coated with AF plasma spray coating to keep the screen clean, improve touch sensitivity, and provide users with a better visual and operational experience.

3. Laptop Screen and Shell: The screen and metal shell of the laptop are coated with AF plasma spraying technology, which not only prevents fingerprints and stains, but also enhances the appearance and texture of the product, making the laptop more durable.

4. Camera lens: Camera lenses require extremely high optical performance. AF plasma spray coating can reduce surface reflection of the lens, improve transmittance, and thus enhance imaging quality. At the same time, anti fouling and anti fingerprint performance can keep the lens clean, reduce image blur caused by stains, and AF coating technology can make the eyeglass lens less prone to oil stains and fingerprints, making it convenient for the wearer to clean and keep the lens clear.

4. Car windshield: AF coating can make the car windshield hydrophobic. When driving in rainy weather, rainwater is less likely to adhere to the glass surface and can quickly slide off, improving the clarity of the driver's line of sight and enhancing driving safety.

Automotive central control display screen: Similar to electronic digital product screens, AF coating can maintain the cleanliness of the central control display screen and improve the smoothness of touch operation.

Car rearview mirror: AF coated car rearview mirrors can reduce the adhesion of water droplets and oil stains, allowing drivers to clearly observe the situation behind them even in rainy or harsh environments.

The use of AS anti fouling technology can significantly improve the user experience of smartphones, tablets, touch screens, and car screens by forming a nano scale superhydrophobic coating on the glass surface, thereby achieving comprehensive improvements in anti fouling, wear resistance, and optical performance.
