Kim Menen Director of Aqualite said that whilst the AquaLite range of screens has 4 AR coatings on each side of the toughened glass there is still an element of glare in really high ambient light environments. Outdoor environments can sometimes be especially bright and therefore cause unwanted reflection.

Specially developed for AquaLite the AQAR Film (AquaLite Anti Reflective Film) is easy to apply, 0.006mm thin, & reduces glare by an incredible 65%. All this as well as having anti scratch properties along with leaving no residue if removed & then re-used.

Bryan Denyar Editor & owner of the Trade publication AV News who watched a demonstration at the show commented that the film would be a great advantage to Education in high bright environments where glare is an issue in the classroom.

He also said that he wished to commit to some editorial for his News Paper & thought that the potential market for this product was huge.

The film can be cut to the exact size required & exceeds a 50” surface area of an standard LCD or Plasma Panel.

 Just in time for the Southampton boat show the screens will be viewed by thousnands at this International event.

Most screens will be situated on the Fly decks either in a stand alone position or in a raise & fall cabinet.
