Anti-reflective Coatings Market – Growth Opportunities and Forecast up to 2020
Global Anti-reflective Coatings Market: Snapshot Anti-reflective coatings are applied on a wide variety of commonly used products such as eyeglasses, touch screens in electronic devices, flat panel displays, and smartphone displays. Ripe demands from these mature application areas are the chief factors why the global anti-reflective coatings market is progressing at a steady pace. However, the market is expected to benefit mostly from rising demands from solar power generation and telecommunications industries. Anti-reflective coatings are optical thin film coatings that help reduce reflections from a variety of surfaces. These coatings increase transmission by reducing loss of light through reflectance. At the point where glass meets air, nearly 4% of light falling upon the glass at perpendicular angle is lost due to reflection. The percentage of light lost in such cases keeps increasing with increase in light’s angle of incidence. For solar panels, especially, light reflected i...
