OEM Custom Anti-Reflective (AR) Glass for Touchscreens & Precision Optics

 

Huabo manufactures industrial-grade Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass engineered for high-transmission display panels, outdoor HMIs, medical monitors, and optical sensor windows. Utilizing advanced physical vapor deposition (PVD) sputtering technology, our precision optical coatings boost total visible light transmittance up to 99.2% while suppressing surface specular reflection below 0.5%.
Whether you require single-sided AR, double-sided broadband AR, or complex multi-functional stacks combining AR with Anti-Glare (AG) and Anti-Fingerprint (AF) oleophobic treatments, Huabo provides end-to-end processing from raw substrate cutting to final optical verification.

Spectral Customization for Specialized Optical Systems
 

Generic AR glass is designed only for visible light (400 nm to 700 nm). For OEMs developing optical instruments, automated vision systems, and LiDAR sensor covers, Huabo customizes thin-film coating designs across targeted spectral bands:

Visible Light (VIS 380 nm to 780 nm)

Optimized for medical displays, commercial touch screens, and automotive instrument clusters.

Near-Infrared (NIR 780 nm to 1100 nm)

Designed for night-vision cameras, facial recognition modules, and machine-vision inspection windows.

Dual-Band (VIS + NIR)

Specialized coating configurations maintaining low reflection across both visual and infrared ranges for hybrid monitoring devices.

 

 

Coating Durability & Environmental Resistance

Optical performance must survive aggressive field cleaning and harsh operating environments. Huabo AR coatings are vacuum-sputtered dielectric oxide layers chemically bonded to the glass substrate.

 

Chemical & Disinfectant Immunity: Withstands continuous wipedowns with 75% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), absolute Ethanol, Acetone, and hospital-grade Bleach without optical film degradation.

 

Environmental Stability: Verified through thermal shock testing (minus 40 degrees C to plus 85 degrees C) and high-humidity exposure (95% relative humidity at 60 degrees C for 500 hours).

 

Abrasion Resistance: Maintains anti-reflective and oleophobic properties even after rigorous daily touch operation and surface cleaning.

FAQ

 

 

Q: Should AR coating be applied before or after glass tempering?

A: At Huabo, cutting, CNC machining, edge polishing, and chemical strengthening are performed BEFORE the AR coating process. Applying PVD coatings after strengthening ensures maximum structural integrity and coating layer uniformity without micro-cracking.

Q: Can AR coated glass be laminated or optically bonded to LCD panels?

A: Yes. For optical bonding (LOCA/OCA), we typically supply single-sided AR glass (AR on the outer surface) or double-sided AR glass compatible with standard bonding resins. Please specify your bonding method during quotation.

Q: What is the typical lead time for custom AR glass prototypes?

A: Standard custom prototypes (including CNC machining, chemical strengthening, and optical coating) are delivered within 7 to 10 working days upon drawing approval. Mass production lead times typically range from 2 to 3 weeks.

Q: What inspection reports are provided with mass production shipments?

A: Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Spectral Transmittance/Reflectance Curves, Chemical Strengthening Stress Reports (CS/DOL), and Dimensional Inspection Sheets.
