Abstract
A material is disclosed which is suitable for reducing the reflection of information displays such as a CRT, LCD, plasma tube, etc., and is characterised by an improved pencil hardness and excellent optical properties (lower average reflection, higher bandwidth). The anti-reflection material of the invention comprises an anti-reflective coating and an optional top coat on a flexible glass substrate that is capable of being wound around a cylindrical core having a radius of 1.5 m. In a preferred method of the present invention the glass substrate is provided with anti-reflective coating using a continuous web coating process while being laminated to a polymer support by using adhesive layer . Upon delamination (arrows ) the adhesive layer may remain fixed to glass substrate (right embodiment of FIG. ) or to polymer support (left embodiment of FIG. ). After said delamination the glass substrate provided with anti-reflective coating may be adhered to the front panel of an information display device.
