AF front glass for TFT LCD modules, control panels and commercial display terminals.
Anti-fingerprint cover glass for OLED display modules and premium front-panel applications.
AF cover glass with black border, logo, icon or decorative printing for OEM product design.
Cover glass with anti-glare and anti-fingerprint treatment for bright and frequent-touch environments.
Custom AF cover glass with special outline, holes, notches, corner radius or edge treatment.
AF means Anti-fingerprint.
AF Cover Glass is cover glass with a surface coating designed to reduce fingerprint marks, oil stains and smudges from finger touch.
It does not completely prevent fingerprints, but it can make fingerprints less visible and easier to clean.
AF Cover Glass is selected when the product needs a cleaner touch surface, smoother finger operation and easier maintenance.
Touch products often collect fingerprints, oil stains and smudges during daily use. AF coating helps reduce visible fingerprint marks and keeps the front surface cleaner.
AF glass can make the surface easier to wipe and clean. This is useful for public terminals, medical devices, commercial products and handheld devices.
AF coating can improve the smoothness of the glass surface. This helps provide a better finger-sliding experience on touch panels.
AF cover glass is especially useful when the display or touch panel is operated frequently by users, such as kiosks, POS systems, access control terminals, smart panels and handheld devices.
AF coating can be reviewed together with AG or AR treatment depending on the project requirement, such as AG + AF, AR + AF, or AG + AR + AF project review.
Coated AF glass is a common direction for fingerprint resistance and surface smoothness.
It can be reviewed according to product requirement, cost target and coating durability.
Plated AF coating generally provides better wear resistance than simple coating processes, but the cost is usually higher.
It can be reviewed for products requiring higher surface durability.
AF process should be selected according to product usage, touch frequency, cleaning method and durability requirement. For public-use touch products, surface durability should be reviewed carefully.
AF cover glass should be reviewed according to surface performance, optical performance and mechanical requirement.
AF coating performance should be reviewed together with product usage. A handheld device, public kiosk, medical control panel and industrial HMI may require different coating durability and cleaning performance.
AF cover glass should be reviewed according to application environment and cleaning requirement.
AF coating can reduce fingerprints and improve cleanability, but it does not make the glass permanently fingerprint-free. Coating durability depends on process, usage, abrasion, cleaning method and product environment.

AF Cover Glass is one type of Custom Touch Panel Glass with anti-fingerprint coating.
AF cover glass is commonly used with capacitive touch panels because the front glass is touched directly by users.
For capacitive touch panels, AF cover glass improves the front-surface touch experience and helps reduce visible fingerprint marks.
For capacitive touch panels, AF cover glass improves the front-surface touch experience and helps reduce visible fingerprint marks.
AF coating can be reviewed for selected resistive touch panel structures, but resistive touch panels use pressure operation and often have a flexible top surface.
For many resistive touch projects, matte anti-glare or anti-Newton ring surface treatment may be more common than AF coating.
For resistive touch panels, AF feasibility depends on the full pressure-touch structure and surface material.
AF cover glass can also be used for display modules without touch, especially when the front glass is frequently touched or cleaned.
AF cover glass is useful when the front display surface must remain cleaner during frequent handling or touch operation.
To quote or review AF Cover Glass, please provide the following information as completely as possible.
For new projects, a 2D drawing is the most useful document. If AF performance is not confirmed, please describe the product use case, cleaning frequency and whether the surface will be touched frequently by users.
