The recent annual Display Week 2019 event saw attendees from around the world come together to explore the latest in the electronic display industry, including the complete range of PPG’s advanced conductive and transparent functional coatings for display glass and plastic substrates. Hosted by the Society for Information Display and held in San Jose, California, the high profile annual event attracted thousands of eager visitors. Amongst PPG’s exhibition was a recently introduced anti-fingerprint coating, based on proprietary PPG technology. It features an exclusive silk-touch feel that makes touchscreens on smartphones, vehicle displays and other shared devices more pleasantly tactile, as well as providing enhanced display screen durability and fingerprint hiding. Other highlights of PPG’s exhibition include:
- Printable conductive, resistive and insulative inks for printed electronic applications, such as bus bars, antennas, capacitive touch controls and positive coefficient temperature heating
- Innovative patterning paste technology for improved manufacturing and integration of silver nanowire coatings in flexible displays and touch screens
- Conductive coatings for electromagnetic interference, radio-frequency interference, electrostatic discharge and lightning strike protection
- Spray-enabled transparent functional coatings, including easy-to-clean, anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, anti-fingermark, anti-reflective and ultraviolet-durable hydrophobic coatings for glass, plastic and metal substrates.
PPG display coatings are already used by leading manufacturers of consumer electronics, airplanes, motor vehicles, military vehicles and equipment.
