Pilkington MirroView™ is a clear float glass on which a highly reflective coating is deposited
Pilkington MirroView™, the latest avant-garde product released by the NSG Group, is a clear float glass on which a highly reflective coating is deposited, enabling it to be used in projected capacitive touch screen technology applications.
NSG Group launches a new generation of transparent mirrors for touch screen applications. Pilkington MirroView™ is one of the latest avant-garde products in the glass world.
Pilkington MirroView™ is a clear float glass on which a highly reflective coating is deposited. The extremely durable coating has a neutral colour and is non-conductive (dielectric), which allows the glass to be used in projected capacitive touch screen technology applications.
This product range is intended for installation in front of a flat screen display, such as a TV or a touch screen.
Placed in front of a video source, when the device is off, Pilkington MirroView™ keeps a mirrored appearance, hiding the screen. When the screen is turned on, the bright image on the screen is easily visible through Pilkington MirroView™ and the previous reflecting image disappears.
The improved coating has a very smooth surface for an excellent tactile experience and offers a neutral colour rendering in reflection.
The pyrolytic coating, extremely resistant, does not degrade over time and gives the product a virtually unlimited lifetime.
The range is divided into two product types:
Pilkington MirroView™, designed for situations with reduced ambient light such as bathrooms, bars, etc., where it offers a light transmission of 22% and a reflection on the coated side of 66%; and
Pilkington MirroView™ 50/50, which, due to the evolution of the product, is designed for applications in high brightness environments, such as shops, shopping malls, airport transit areas, railway, etc., and offers a light transmission of 37% and a reflection from the coated side of 50%.
In addition to being suitable for traditional mirror applications, both products are also compatible with the production of Smart Mirrors.
