Tru Vue Announces Vista AR™ Haptic
Company Expands Its Line of High-Performance Display Glass and Acrylic Products
FAIRBAULT, Minn., June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tru Vue Engineered Optics division introduces a new product to its line for display applications. Vista AR™ Haptic glass features an upgraded thin film coating that offers a smoother, more fingerprint-resistant and easier to clean surface compared to the company's standard Vista AR products.
The new magnetron-sputtered Vista AR Haptic coating is inorganic, which increases its durability in applications where environmental elements break down organic coatings more quickly. Like the standard Vista AR coating, Vista AR Haptic stands up to 120 days in a salt fog humidity chamber and can perform in exposure to direct sunlight and subzero temperatures. The upgraded Haptic coating has a more hydrophobic surface that repels fingerprints and enhances the user experience with a swipe motion that results in a smoother feel.
With an extremely low photopic brightness of less than 0.3 percent, Vista AR Haptic is ideal for applications that require a high level of durability and reflection control in demanding environmental conditions. It tests at 8H to10H pencil hardness, making it scratch-resistant and almost as hard as the glass itself.
"Touch screen applications are an indispensable part of our lives, and the demand for anti-reflective products that deliver on durability will only continue to grow," said Nate Soukup, vice president of operations at Tru Vue. "Vista AR Haptic coating gives display product manufacturers a rugged solution that is easy to clean and stands up to repeated use."
Tru Vue is a manufacturer of high performance glazing products for the display market, and the custom picture framing and museum markets. Tru Vue is a leader in both UV protection, as well as anti-reflective and specialty glazing products, and the maker of Museum Glass®, the gold standard of custom framing glass. The company is located in McCook, Illinois, and Faribault, Minnesota, and is a subsidiary of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: APOG).
