Antireflection coating with UV-protective properties for polycarbonate

Applied Optics 47 (2008) C83-C87

Polycarbonate is the chosen material for covers of automotive displays because it combines high transparency with high breaking strength. The requirements for coatings include an improvement of the scratch resistance and antireflection properties as well as high stability for challenging environmental conditions. A coating that involves all required properties has been developed and deposited onto polycarbonate by plasma-ion assisted deposition. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America.
