Glare

Reduce glare

 

Many professional users consider anti-reflection treatment a must. 

Dust

Stop particle contamination

The resin used in optical bonding keeps particles out...

Condensation 2

Prevent condensation

...and fills the cavity where moist air might otherwise enter.

Vibration

Dampen vibration and shock

The polymer material cushions the impact in the event of mechanical stress.
 

"Optical bonding is the art of eliminating ​reflections from displays."

 

- Mr. Jakub Kwiatkowski, Head of R&D
 

Don't squint. Navigate.

If you’ve ever spent time on a ship’s bridge, you know how bright an environment it can be.​ The vast window area helps you get a good outlook, but intense sunlight can compromise the readability of your displays. ​

Unless you’re equipped to handle it.​

Optical bonding and other anti-reflective treatments help keep your visual data as sharp as your senses.

How it works​

 

  1. We treat the front glass with a high-quality, ​
    anti-reflective coating. ​
    ​
  2. We use a resin to fill the air gap between the LCD panel and the front glass. This “bonds” the two surfaces, eliminating reflective surfaces.​
    ​
  3. Once complete, the treated monitor offers excellent readability in all lighting conditions. 

A must for electronic chart tables

With their prominent placement on ships' bridges, maritime monitors and electronic chart tables benefit greatly from optical bonding. ​

Case in point: Stellar anti-reflective capabilities help make the
Hatteland® Series X MVD 55-inch (pictured) the ultimate unit for route planning and navigation — even in bright sunlight.
