Anti-reflective Coating

Sol-gel coatings consist mostly of silica and therefore usually have a lower refractive index than glass. This fact makes them ideal for producing anti-reflective optical coatings. Careful adjustment of the porosity and surface roughness improves the optical properties, while a high degree of cross-linking of the silica network increases mechanical stability. This results in high-quality optical coatings for solar panels, touch panels, display panels, or the like.
