New Film Renders Screen Reflection Almost Non-Existent

Posted by samzenpus on from the flat-screen dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Sony has used the SID 2012 conference to demonstrate a brand new combination of conductive film and low-reflection film that promises to render screen reflection almost non-existent in devices like smartphones and tablets. Sony achieved such low reflections by combining its new conductive film with a moth-eye low reflection film. The key to the low reflectance is the formation of an uneven surface, which consists of both concave and convex structures (tiny bumps) that cover the entire film. The uneven surface means that light won't just bounce back off the screen creating a reflection, and therefore making the screen usable in a wider range of lighting conditions."

    SONY has been on my "do not patronize" list for years and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

      Cue the people telling us to just get over the root-kit or whatever else Sony has done.

      NEVER.

      Sony long ago declared war against the consumer, and much like an aged convict in prison, it does not matter how goody two-shoes they are today. They still murdered somebody. Parole Denied. Let them turn to dust.

      Only the complete destruction of Sony will assuage they deep and intense desire for justice against Sony and their evil deeds.

      I don't care if they release the fucking cure for cancer tomorrow. The execution is still going to proceed on schedule.

    From that description it sounds like Sony has reinvented screens with matte finish. Surely there is more to this.

    How about they put this shit on car windshields? I'd love to stop getting blinded by the sun's reflection bouncing off the rear glass of the car in front of me.
