P‐182: Theory, Design, and Production of Fingerprint Resistant Films for Touch‐Enabled Displays

Abstract

Multi-touch technology, first deployed in the Apple iPhone device, began a revolution on how to interface with mobile devices and, with the release of Windows 7, it has caused an explosion in interest by display manufacturers. Uni-Pixel Displays will present the industry with state of the art in fingerprint-resistant technology.

“…The AF coating thickness can range from a few molecular layers (no optical impact) to a few microns when AR/AG properties are desired, in which case it is possible to engineer the coating to provide multiple functionalities such as AF + AG + hard coating 10 . Note that the combination of AF with AG further helps reduce the visibility of the fingerprint residue, which can be further optimized by specific designs of the AG texture 11 …”
