IR Blocker 70/90 Offers Passive Solar Blocking
JDSU IR Blocker 70/90 reduces solar loading by up to 70/90 percent of NIR with a blocking range of 750 – 1200 nm. These high-performance coatings can also be used with large formats (32˝ x 50˝) and in high volumes.
IR Blocker 70/90 also features an antireflection region in the visible wavelengths, which means that displays can be visibly enhanced while reflecting in the NIR range. The photopic brightness is less than 2.5 percent.
IR Blocker 70/90 Benefits
Advanced JDSU manufacturing techniques offer “batch-coated” performance from an inline coating machine. This means larger coatings, lower prices, and higher-volume production. Perfect for kiosk displays, the coating can cover large areas up to 55˝. And, its passive energy rejection is a green solution to heat-management issues—the coating is transparent to longer wavelengths such as radiated heat from monitors and backlights.
Available with Oleophobic Coating
With an oleophobic topcoat, traditional AR sensitivity to contamination such as fingerprint smudges is greatly reduced. The coating repels fingerprints, water, oil, and many chemicals. The result is a smoother, more durable surface that can be cleaned with a simple wipe of a soft cloth.
Cleanability, as measured with a black Sanford® Sharpie™ No. 30000 fine-point permanent marker, leaves no visible pen mark when wiped with a class-100 clean room wipe and viewed by reflection using standard lighting conditions.
Sizes are limited to 16˝ x 25˝ panels.
