For displays & touch screens
Cover Panels
Applicable even to large bendable surfaces, our cover panels minimize background reflection and glare. In pursuit of a more comfortable driving experience
Overview
Cover panels protect the displays and touch panels inside automobiles and aircraft. As the need for display devices with bigger screens or curved glass shapes increases, we respond to the sophisticated needs of each generation and provide a one-stop option for all associated tasks, from the procurement and bending of glass to anti-reflective and anti-smudge coating.
- Point1This unique technology is applicable to not only large cover panels, but also curved forms
- Point2Visible light reflectance less than 0.3%*, making it an anti-reflective coating that offers easy visibility
- Point3Makes it difficult for fingerprints and oils to stain the glass, keeping the material clean
- Point4We offers all steps, from the procurement and bending of glass to anti-reflective coating
- Point5We will provide customization that is optimized to the structure of your display device
*The rate for normal glass is approximately 4%. Those numbers do not include reflections from the display itself.
Before & After
This image is a comparison of panels in the same environment, showing those with Geomatec's anti-reflective coating applied and those without anti-reflective coating applied. Take a look at the clear difference and tangible performance levels.
Visible light reflectance less than 0.3%*, making it an anti-reflective coating that offers easy visibility
By using cover panels with Geomatec's unique anti-reflective coating applied, it is possible to reduce the glare and external reflections affecting onboard displays. Doing so increases the visibility of speedometers and car navigation systems, making for a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
Features & Strengths
Point1 This unique technology is applicable to not only large cover panels, but also curved forms
In response to the need for display devices with full-screen displays, Geomatec handles the manufacture of large cover panels while also utilizing our unique technology to carry out formation of flat or curved surfaces. This contributes to decorations with a greater design sense and feeling of luxury.

Point2 Visible light reflectance less than 0.3%*, making it an anti-reflective coating that offers easy visibility
Our position as a specialized thin-film technology manufacturer has enabled us to develop superior anti-reflective (AR) coatings that, when applied to cover panels, are effective at preventing reflection of background images and glare, improving the visibility of display devices.
Point3 Fingerprints or oils stick less, stand out less
Water & Oil Repellent films (Anti-fingerprint & anti-stain coatings) make it difficult for fingerprints or oils to stick to the surface, reducing how much they stand out. When dirt does attach to the surface, it can be removed with gentle wiping.
Point4 We offers all steps, from the procurement and bending of glass to anti-reflective coating
Geomatec covers all tasks with consistently stable production quality, including procurement of glass, printing and bending of black frames, and anti-reflective thin-film coatings. We will take care of everything, from prototype to mass production.
Point5 We will provide customization that is optimized to the structure of your display device
Customization proposals apply to not only the structure of the display devices, but also optical functions such as anti-reflection or repellence of water or dirt, as well as safety, durability, cost, bonding methods, and design.
Structures & Mechanisms
Our optical design achieved by a specialist in thin film, resulting in cover panels with superior visibility
Geomatec's unique anti-reflective cover panels and display modules hold glare to a minimum, while direct bonding (bonding with photoelastic resin) with no gaps makes it possible to reduce reflection of light and realize superior display visibility.
The structure is one where a unique anti-reflective coating is applied to the entire surface of the cover panels, achieving visible light reflectance less than 0.3%
