Optical Film Enhancements of LCDs, OLEDS and Plasma Displays

From General Digital Optical Bonding Laboratories
 

 
For those cases which do not require the ruggedization provided by bonded glass panels, General Digital™ Optical Bonding Laboratories™ recommends the use of GenGard™ film enhancements. GenGard™ films improve the readability of electronic displays by reducing the reflection of ambient lighting. In addition, GenGard™ resists fingerprints and other distracting artifacts commonly a problem with antireflection coatings.
