Spectral reflection overview

Generally, Antireflective Coatings (ARC) are of great interest to a wide variety of industries and applications, particularly for special coatings for microelectronics, optics, flexible displays, bio-engineering, solar cells and solar thermal equipment, as well as decorative coatings. Thin film coatings can change the electrical, mechanical and/or optical properties of a solid base material. Some common examples are scratch-resistant coatings for eyeglasses, anti-reflective coatings for lenses, windscreens and transparent conductive coatings for flat-panel displays.
