Information displays placed outdoors are exposed to high levels of near-infrared light (NIR) from the sun. When the near-infrared light heats up the display, which can cause malfunctions and significantly reduce lifetime.
Glacier™ AR Sun Shade is a laminated glass solution with a PVB film containing integrated nano-sized particles. These particles absorb near-infrared light, which results in a signification reduction in solar heat. This, in turn, eliminates overheating issues, since near-infrared light (and therefore heat) is blocked before it reaches the underlying display.
Our Glacier™ AR Sun Shade laminated glass solution is typically used in large-format digital signage and passenger information display applications. Because of its near-infrared absorbing features, it is primarily utilized in large format displays that are used outdoors.
If the unit is used indoors, we also have Glacier™ AR without Sun Shade – and on the other end of the spectrum, we also provide Glacier™ Sun Stop, which is the ultimate glass solution if you want the most possible heat rejection.
