AG Glass: My Experience with Customizing Gloss Levels for Real-World Applications
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients across various industries, helping them select the perfect AG glass (Anti-Glare Glass) for their products.
One thing that always stands out is how important gloss level customization is for enhancing performance in different applications.
Let me share some insights and examples from my work.
1. Consumer Electronics: Gloss Level 50%-70%
When working with consumer electronics clients, like those designing smartphones or laptops, the challenge is always balancing anti-reflective properties with display clarity. A gloss level of 50%-70% typically works best.
I recently helped a client developing a high-end laptop with AG glass at a 60% gloss level. The result? A stunning display that minimized indoor light reflection without sacrificing image sharpness—perfect for designers and creators who demand excellence.
2. Automotive Displays: Gloss Level 90%-110%
Car manufacturers have very specific needs for their dashboard and central control screens. A few months ago, I worked with a luxury carmaker to select AG glass for their SUV’s infotainment system.
We went with a gloss level of 110%, ensuring the screen stayed readable even under direct sunlight.
Seeing their excitement when the prototype came back crystal clear during testing was incredibly rewarding—it’s one of those moments that remind me why I love what I do.
3. Medical Devices: Gloss Level 60%-80%
Healthcare projects always feel a bit special to me. Doctors rely on these screens during critical procedures, so precision is everything.
For one client, a surgical display manufacturer, we opted for AG glass with a 70% gloss level. The feedback was amazing: in dark operating rooms, the displays were sharp, detailed, and glare-free, helping surgeons focus on what truly matters.
Knowing my work contributes to better healthcare outcomes gives me immense satisfaction.
4. Industrial Equipment: Gloss Level 70%-90%
Industrial environments are tough—not just on people, but on equipment too. I recall a project where a factory needed durable screens for their production line.
We went with AG glass at a 70% gloss level, striking a balance between anti-glare performance and scratch resistance.
Testing it on-site, under bright lights and amidst oil spills, proved that we’d nailed it. Seeing a product survive such harsh conditions is always a proud moment for me.
5. Outdoor Displays: Gloss Level 50%-70%
Outdoor screens, like bus stop panels or advertising boards, face the ultimate challenge: direct sunlight. For one project, a public transit client wanted their screens to remain visible no matter the lighting.
We used AG glass with a 50% gloss level, and during a sunny afternoon demo, I watched as the display stayed perfectly readable even under harsh glare.
That’s the magic of finding the right gloss level.
Why Gloss Level Customization Matters
Through these experiences, I’ve learned that no two projects are the same. The right gloss level can transform how a product performs in its intended environment.
Whether it’s through chemical etching, coating technologies, or composite surface treatments, there’s always a way to tailor AG glass to meet specific needs.
If you’re exploring AG glass options, I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned along the way. Finding the right gloss level isn’t just about numbers—it’s about understanding your application and making it work for your users.
