Laminated Cover Glass Solution

2026-08-26

Laminated cover glass is a composite structure formed by permanently bonding two or more glass layers with a polymer interlayer (PVB or EVA) through a high-temperature, high-pressure lamination process. Unlike standard single-pane glass, the interlayer holds the glass together upon impact, preventing dangerous shattering and maintaining structural integrity.

Optical Performance — Three Core Metrics
Optical Parameter Our Performance Technical Note
Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) >80% Achieved with high-clarity PVB/EVA interlayers; can be further enhanced with Ar Coating
UV Blockage >99% UV transmittance <1% — protects display polarizers and encapsulation materials from degradation
IR Rejection 85–95% Reduces solar heat gain, lowers display operating temperature, extends lifespan in outdoor applications
PVB vs. EVA — Choosing the Right Interlayer
Comparison PVB (General Purpose) EVA (Specialty Applications)
Optical Clarity Excellent Excellent
Edge Stability / Moisture Resistance May yellow at edges under prolonged moisture exposure Superior moisture resistance, minimal edge change
Compatibility with Display Laminates Plasticizer migration may affect certain display films No migratory plasticizers — better compatibility with LCD/OLED module bonding
Best For Standard indoor/outdoor displays High-humidity environments, direct display module lamination
Structural Strength — Beyond Safety
Impact Resistance

The polymer interlayer absorbs impact energy and holds glass fragments upon breakage, preventing injury and protecting internal display components.

Enhanced Stiffness

The laminated structure provides greater bending stiffness than a single glass sheet of equivalent thickness — reducing flex and stress fractures during transport and daily use.

Ultra-Thin Possibility

Because laminated glass offers superior strength-to-weight ratio, thinner glass substrates can be used without compromising durability — a key advantage for display weight reduction.

Surface Treatment Customization

The outer glass surface can be treated with advanced coatings to meet specific display environment requirements:

Surface Treatment Function Ideal Application
AR (Anti-Reflective) Reduces surface reflection to <1%, boosts light transmission by 2–3% for vivid image quality High-end digital signage, outdoor advertising, premium display panels
AG (Anti-Glare) Etched surface converts specular to diffuse reflection — reduces ambient light interference, softer viewing Outdoor displays under direct sunlight, medical/industrial monitors, interactive whiteboards
AF (Anti-Fingerprint) Oleophobic/hydrophobic coating repels oil and moisture — touchscreens stay clean and smooth Touchscreens, ATMs, self-service kiosks, high-traffic interactive displays
Combined Treatments e.g., AR+AF for premium touchscreens; AG+AF for outdoor touch applications Custom combinations available per application
