FAQ

 

 

Q: What technical details are needed to generate an accurate optical AR glass quotation?

A: Providing a 2D engineering drawing (PDF / DWG / DXF) or 3D STEP file with glass thickness, substrate choice, overall dimensions, coating configuration (single-sided vs. double-sided AR), target transmittance/reflectance percentages, wavelength band, edge profile, and estimated annual batch volume allows us to evaluate DFM feasibility and issue an official quote within 24 working hours.

Q: What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided AR coating?

A: A single-sided AR coating treats one glass interface, reducing reflection at that boundary and bringing total light transmission to roughly 95%-96%. A double-sided AR coating treats both air-glass interfaces, canceling reflections on both sides and elevating total light transmission up to ≥98.5%-99.0%. Double-sided AR is recommended when optical clarity is critical and internal reflections must be eliminated.

Q: Can AR coated glass be cut, drilled, or tempered after coating?

A: In most production workflows, cutting, CNC drilling, edge polishing, and tempering/chemical strengthening are completed BEFORE the vacuum AR coating process. Applying optical coatings after mechanical fabrication prevents micro-cracks from damaging the thin-film stack and ensures uniform coating coverage across all edges and apertures.

Q: How does AR glass perform in high-humidity or outdoor environments?

A: Our industrial-grade AR coatings are deposited using high-density magnetron sputtering, creating a dense oxide film structure that resists environmental degradation, moisture oxidation, and UV discoloration. When combined with hydrophobic AF treatments, the surface effectively sheds rainwater and resists mineral spotting in outdoor digital signage applications.

Q: Can you supply pre-production optical samples for spectroradiometer testing and assembly fit?

A: Yes. Prototype sampling is an integral part of our OEM/ODM development process. We supply fully fabricated pre-production samples—including custom dimensions, CNC cutouts, edge polishing, ceramic printing, and specified AR coating parameters—for customer spectrophotometer verification and mechanical housing validation prior to mass manufacturing.
