An Anti-Reflective Coating is an application of a material designed to reduce reflection. The coatings reduce the appearance of light and enhance the efficiency of imaging systems. They can be used on a variety of objects, from cameras and surveillance cameras to mobile phones and digital cameras. Anti-Reflective Coatings are an excellent choice for many reasons.

The principle behind these antireflective coatings is based on an intermediate layer that provides an interference effect between the light beam and the surface. Assuming the layer thickness is perfectly controlled, the result is a non-reflective surface. This thin layer, called a quarter-wave coating, reduces reflection by half the wavelength of the first surface, causing the beam to travel only half the wavelength of the second surface. Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings are multilayers that are effective over a broad spectrum of wavelengths and incidence angles. They are usually designed using numerical techniques and trade-off low residual reflectance for broad bandwidth.

The global Anti-Reflective Coatings Market is projected to surpass US$ 8.5 billion by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).

Anti-Reflective Coatings are made from thin, transparent films with contrasting refractive indexes. The layer thickness is selected to create constructive and destructive interference within the reflected beams. The anti-reflective coatings can be designed for a variety of wavelengths and incident angles, and are often available for different frequencies. Antireflective Coatings can help reduce glare and make it easier to see clearly. These coatings are also more durable than standard ones. Some premium versions also feature extra features like water and oil repellency. Some are also scratch resistant. Along with their anti-reflective properties, they can also protect from blue light.

The primary advantage of antireflective coatings is that they reduce reflection. This is especially useful for planetary astronomy and other imaging systems that rely on a good quality image. The coatings can be applied to lenses of binoculars or telescopic sights, making them more effective. Premium AR coatings are scratch resistant and smudge-free. They also reduce glare and halo effect around lights at night.

Some of the latest anti-reflective coatings are designed to minimize short-wavelength blue light, which has been linked to sleep disorders. Sony Corporation and Carl Zeiss AG have collaborated for expanding their business and for featuring ZEISS optics with T* antireflective coatings in the Experian smartphone, in February 2020. This is estimated to enhance quality of image and also provide fine photographic experience for users.
