Wide-spectrum tint-free reflection reduction of viewing screens

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A method has been developed which substantially reduces the reflection of viewing screens. The method consists of depositing a quarterwave layer of magnesium fluoride on a slightly roughened surface in such a way that the principle of an identical thin film is respected (conservation of interference). The remaining reflection from the front of the viewing screen is reduced to <0.4% over the whole visible spectrum. The reflection is tint-free over the complete viewing angle; light transmission and contrast are conserved; resolving power is only minimally affected. The influence which the roughening of a transparent surface has on the transmission and reflection of light is described in terms of scalar diffraction theory.
