What is Anti-Glare(AG) Glass?

Anti-Glare Glass, or AG Glass, is a specially treated glass designed to minimize the reflection of light on a glass surface, enhancing visibility and reducing glare. This innovative technology is crucial for applications where clear and unobstructed viewing is essential.

Welcome to the AG Glass Cover product page of SZ ClariTech Co., Ltd. We are committed to providing high-quality, stable etched AG glass covers for various industries, covering sizes from 1 to 32 inches.

AG glass (Anti-Glare Glass) is glass that reduces reflection and glare through the formation of fine concave and convex particles on its surface. This treatment roughens the glass surface, scattering incident light, reducing specular reflection, minimizing ambient light interference, enhancing screen clarity, reducing screen reflections, making images clearer and more realistic, and providing viewers with a better visual experience.

Anti-Glare(AG) Glass Customization

At TouchTechGlass, we understand that each project has unique requirements. That’s why we offer customized Anti-Glare (AG) Glass solutions that are tailored to meet the specific needs of your application, ensuring optimal performance and user satisfaction.

Our AG cover glass can be customized with a gloss range from 30° to 110°, available in both single-sided and double-sided treatments. This makes it particularly suitable for frame bonding processes, with gloss unaffected.

Gloss Application Fields

110 Gloss: Commonly used in the automotive industry, this is the industry standard.

95 Gloss: Used in indoor high-brightness environments, such as medical devices, ultrasound projectors, cash registers, POS machines, and bank signature pads.

70 Gloss: Suitable for outdoor environments, such as ATMs, advertising machines, train station displays, construction vehicle displays, excavators, and agricultural machines.

50 Gloss: Suitable for countries and regions with strong sunlight.

Thickness Option

We offer AG cover glass in various thickness specifications, suitable for different applications.

Differences Between Single-Sided and Double-Sided AG

Single-Sided AG: Gloss remains unchanged after lamination, suitable for full lamination, maintaining anti-glare effects.

Double-Sided AG: After lamination, the AG side is filled with OCA optical adhesive, losing its anti-glare effect while the other side takes over, increasing gloss by 10% to 20%.

How to Identify the AG Side

Anti-Glare (AG) glass is used in various applications to reduce glare and improve visibility. Identifying the AG side is crucial for proper installation and effectiveness. Here’s a guide to help you determine the AG side of the glass.

Touch Method

The AG side has an etching depth of 0.06~0.08mm, making it smooth to touch with a paper-like feel.

Observation Method

The AG side, treated with acid etching, has an uneven surface that blurs reflected images, while the untreated glass side reflects images clearly like a mirror.

Comparison between AG Glass and Regular Glass

Anti-Glare Effect: AG glass reduces reflected light and glare through special treatment, while regular glass easily produces reflections and glare.

Future Prospects of AG Glass

With continuous technological advancements and increasing market demand, AG glass has a broad application prospect in various fields. Particularly in smart devices, industrial control, medical equipment, and automotive displays, AG glass, with its superior performance, is gradually becoming the mainstream choice in the market.

Two Types of AG Glass Processing

Physical Sandblasting AG: Achieves a frosted surface through mechanical sandblasting, which is simple in process and high in production efficiency.

Chemical Etching AG: Uses chemical etching to process the glass surface.

Scratch Resistance of AG Glass.

AG glass not only has an anti-glare effect but also excellent scratch resistance 7H. This allowing AG glass to resist minor scratches and abrasions in daily use. For example, Corning Gorilla Glass has scratch resistance four times higher than ordinary aluminosilicate glass.

Common Issues with AG Glass in the Market

Optical Indices Not Meeting Standards: Issues like transmittance and gloss not meeting standards, affecting display performance.

Edge Defects: Problems like cracks and chips affecting the product’s appearance and safety.

Appearance Defects: Including bubbles, white spots, scratches, and other defects that affect overall product quality.

Size and Thickness Deviations: Deviations beyond acceptable limits, potentially causing installation or usage issues.

Solutions and Preventive Measure

Optical Indices Not Meeting Standards: Ensure the quality of raw materials, optimize environmental conditions during AG processing, and use high-precision testing instruments.

Edge Defects: Improve cutting and processing precision to avoid dark cracks and chipping.

Appearance Defects: Strictly control raw material quality, ensure automated processing in a dust-free environment, and minimize human errors.

Size and Thickness Deviations: Use high-precision measuring tools to ensure accurate size and thickness.

Cost Comparison of AG Glass

Material Costs: AG glass costs include raw materials, labor, and manufacturing expenses. Key raw materials include soda ash, quartz sand, and coating equipment.

Processing Costs: AG glass processing involves additional steps like coating, etching, and polishing, requiring extra materials and labor.

Regular Glass Costs: The main costs for regular glass are raw materials like soda ash and silicon sand, which account for about 90% of material costs.

Cost Differences

Cost Difference: AG glass costs are higher than regular glass due to its special processing and material costs. Market data suggests AG and AR glass cost at least 50% more than regular glass.

Influencing Factors: AG glass costs are influenced by raw material prices, processing technology, and yield rates. Regular glass costs are mainly affected by raw material prices and market demand.

Key Quality Indicators to Consider When Choosing AG Cover Glass

When selecting AG cover glass, several key quality indicators should be considered to ensure you get a product that meets your needs:

Glossiness: Glossiness measures the smoothness of the AG glass surface. Ideal glossiness should be uniform to ensure surface consistency. For example, on a 15-inch cover glass, glossiness should be controlled within 5 when measured at 5 or more points.

Haze: Haze measures the transparency of the glass. Each production batch should maintain the same haze standard to avoid differences in use.

Roughness: The surface roughness of AG glass should be uniform to minimize the impact on display performance. High-quality AG cover glass can achieve surface roughness below 0.06.

Transmittance: Etched AG glass should maintain its original transmittance, ensuring transparency.

Resolution: Resolution measures the uniformity of the microscopic structure of the AG glass surface. Using special inspection fixtures and U.S. military standards can reflect the quality of AG glass.

Edge Quality: Edges should be free of cracks and chips to ensure the product’s appearance and safety.

Appearance Defects: There should be no bubbles, white spots, scratches, or other defects to ensure overall product quality.

Size and Thickness: The allowable deviations in size and thickness should be controlled within certain limits to ensure proper installation and use.

Usually, glossiness is selected as a quality indicator, but it is best to combine this with an evaluation of physical samples to help you choose AG cover glass that meets quality requirements.

Applications of AG Glass

Smartphones: Protects screens from accidental impacts and improves display effects.

Industrial Control: Ensures the visibility and operability of control panels and screens in strong light environments.

Smart Appliances: Enhances the durability and safety of appliance surfaces.
