In a technology-driven world, touchscreen displays have been plugged in across industries, revolutionizing the way we interact with our devices. However, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation may affect the performance and consumers of these displays. That’s why it’s important to understand and protect touchscreen displays. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of anti-shake touchscreen displays and the role UV-blocking film can play in enhancing their durability and performance.

Why UV Protection for Touch Screen Displays Is Important

Over time, intense radiation can wreak havoc on touchscreen displays. Continuous radiation in a short period of time may cause fading and deformation of the touch screen. The touch performance of the display will be degraded. These issues not only affect the attractiveness of the display but also its appearance. To overcome these challenges, it is important to enhance the protection, prolong the life of the touchscreen display and ensure the best performance. Therefore, it is necessary to use a UV Protective Touchscreen Display.

UV Blocking Film

Ultraviolet (UV) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight and constitutes about 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun. It is also produced by electric arcs, Cherenkov radiation, and specialized lights, such as mercury-vapor lamps, tanning lamps, and black lights. Although long-wavelength ultraviolet is not considered ionizing radiation because its photons lack the energy to ionize atoms, it can cause chemical reactions and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Many practical applications, including chemical and biological effects, derive from the way that UV radiation can interact with organic molecules. These interactions can involve absorption or adjusting energy states in molecules, but do not necessarily involve heating.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is situated outside the range of visible light in the light spectrum, with a wavelength spanning from 100nm to 400nm. It can be further categorized into UVA, which ranges from 315nm to 400nm, UVB, ranging from 280nm to 315nm, and UVC, spanning from 100nm to 280nm.

For the touch screen, its cover plate can block the brightness and block the wavelength below about 300 nm. This effectively blocks the passage of UVB and UVC, but UVA wavelengths are still transmitted through the glass. However, for UV Protective Touchscreen Display, the hump film supports the protective layer, which is specially designed to resist the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays below about 400 nanometers on the touch screen display screen. The film barrier prevents UV rays from reaching the display surface. Despite its protective properties, the UV blocking film maintains transparency and optical clarity, ensuring an uncompromised user experience.

What Are the Advantages of UV Protective Touch Screen Displays

A. Optimal Functionality even in strongly Sunlight Environments

Anti-glare touchscreen displays have great advantages in sunny environments. These displays are anti-glare to reduce sunlight refraction, so users can easily read the display in bright outdoor conditions, even with UV rays and glare from the sun. And industries such as outdoor information kiosks and automotive displays can also use touch screens, which greatly benefit from the ultra-high brightness provided by vandal-resistant touchscreen displays and enhance the visibility of the display.

B. Visual Performance Improved

Ultraviolet rays can negatively affect the visual quality of touchscreen displays. However, by taking UV protection measures such as IR-blocking films, these displays can maintain color accuracy and vibration for a long time. Additionally, enhanced protection helps maintain optimal brightness and refresh levels, ensuring an engaging visual experience for users. The crystal-clear quality of the touch-resistant display increases user engagement and satisfaction.

C. Enhanced Durability and Longevity

UV protective touch screen displays offer enhanced durability and longevity compared to their non-protected counterparts. By safeguarding against fading and discoloration caused by UV radiation, these displays can maintain their visual integrity over time. Additionally, UV protection minimizes the impact of UV rays on touch sensitivity, ensuring consistent and reliable performance. As a result, UV protective touch screen displays have an extended lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing maintenance costs.
