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. Optical Bonding Laboratories offers three grades of GenGard™ films: P, A and M. All grades are coated with a hard coat to resist scratches and a vacuum deposited multi-layer antireflection coating to reduce specular reflections to less than 0.75% over the entire visible spectrum. Over the antireflection coating and forming a part of the optical layers is a fluorocarbon-based hydrophobic coating which reduces the surface tension and resists degradation from fingerprints and other surface contaminants. Products & Services
Metallized and coated films have a coating or thin metal film for decorative or functional applications.
Optical coating services design optical coatings and apply them to crystal, fiber, glass, metal, or polymer substrates to produce optical components.
Neutral density filters are designed to reduce transmission evenly across a portion of the spectrum. They are slightly sensitive to angles but they are much more forgiving than interference filters.
Thin film materials are high purity materials and chemicals such as precursor gases, sputtering targets or evaporation filaments used to form or modify thin film deposits and substrates.
Optical materials consist of glasses, plastics, ceramics and coatings with reflectivity, opacity, color or other properties tailored for mirror, lens, laser or other optics applications.
