Compared with the traditional picture frame glass, low reflection picture frame glass in reflectivity, light transmittance, and other aspects of the existence of large differences, the following will be explained in detail.
1. Different reflectivity
Traditional picture frame glass is usually ordinary glass or reflective (mirror) glass, which has high reflectivity and the reflected light will interfere with the viewing of the picture. Low-reflective picture frame glass adopts a multi-layer film structure, which can effectively reduce the reflection and make the picture clearer. Usually, the reflectivity of low-reflection picture frame glass is only about 1/10 of ordinary glass.
2. Different light transmittance
In addition to the high reflectivity of traditional picture frame glass, its light transmittance is also low, which sometimes affects the brightness and colour reproduction of the picture. Low-reflective picture frame glass has high transmittance, which allows more light to pass through, thus improving the brightness and colour reproduction of the picture.
3. Different life span
Traditional picture frame glass has a short service life is easily eroded by water vapour, pollutants and other gases, and is prone to scratches and bubbles. Low-reflective picture frame glass adopts multi-layer anti-reflective coating, which can effectively resist all kinds of erosion and damage so that its service life is longer and the maintenance cost is also lower.
From the above introduction, it can be seen that low-reflection picture frame glass has the advantages of low reflectivity, high light transmittance and long service life compared with traditional picture frame glass. Moreover, low reflection picture frame glass is very helpful to improve the clarity of the picture, because it can reduce the interference of reflected light, improve the brightness of the picture and colour reproduction, make the picture clearer and brighter, and richer in details. Therefore, low-reflection picture frame glass is widely used in exhibitions, libraries, and high-end museums as well as in architectural art and other fields, becoming an important glass material.
