Differences between AG Glass and AR Glass

Table of Content [Hide]

    AG, AR, AF glass are commonly used on display screens or museums. What are the differences between these glasses?


    AG Glass- Anti Glare Glass


    It is a rough surface formed on the original glass by chemical etching or spraying. When light is reflected from the rough surface, it scatters at different angles, achieving diffuse reflection.


    Function: When external light is reflected, diffuse reflection is formed, reducing the reflection of light and achieving the goal of not dazzling, allowing viewers to experience a better sensory visual experience. The lower the glossiness, the better the diffusion effect on its surface, and the less the impact of external glare. AG glass has both single-sided and double-sided options, and the AG treated surface must be on the top when in use.


    Application: AG glass is mostly used for outdoor or strong light displays such as advertising screens, ATM machines, POS cash registers, medical B-ultrasound displays, e-book readers, gas station displays, subway ticket counters, etc.


    Identification method: Place a piece of glass under a fluorescent lamp and observe the lamp tube from the front of the glass. If the light source of the lamp tube is dispersed, it is the AG treated surface; if the light source of the lamp tube is clearly visible, it is the non AG surface. This is the most direct way to distinguish from visual effects.

    AR glass- Anti Reflection Glass


    Also known as anti reflective and anti reflective glass: By applying optical coating to one or both sides of the glass, its reflectivity is reduced and its transmittance is increased. The maximum value can increase its transmittance to over 99% and control its reflectivity to below 1%.


    Function: By increasing the transmittance of glass, the content of the display screen is presented more clearly, allowing viewers to enjoy a more comfortable and clear sensory visual experience.


    Application: High definition display screens, photo frames, cameras for mobile phones and various instruments, museum.


    Identification method: Take a piece of ordinary glass and an AR glass, and place them side by side tightly attached to a computer or other paper image. The AR glass has a clearer effect. The surface of AG glass can be coated with AR coating again.
