'Invisible Glass' Solves Screen Reflection Problems

An anonymous reader writes "The days of dealing with very reflective glass panels may soon be behind us. Nippon Electric Glass has used the FPD International 2011 conference in Japan this week to show off its new 'invisible glass' panel. What NEG has done is added anti-reflection films to both the front and back of the glass that are only nanometers thick. Look at a typical sheet of glass and you will see about 8% of the light reflected off of it. With NEG's anti-reflection film in place, that is reduced to just 0.5%."

The problem there is that now that I've been using a tablet for a while, I've started accidentally trying to use my monitor as a touch screen as well, poking and dragging at things instead of using the mouse. It doesn't work, and it leaves finger prints, but as more people get used to touch devices, that reflex is going to get more common and affect more monitors.
