Advantages and Applications of Sapphire Glass
Sapphire glass, similar in composition to corundum, has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond. It can be produced in a variety of colors by adding various chemical elements, but is commonly used as colourless. Sapphire glass has good heat resistance, dielectric properties, chemical corrosion resistance, hardness, infrared transmission, chemical stability and thermal conductivity.
It has the advantage of being harder than ordinary glass, so it is relatively expensive, which is mainly used in high-end watch mirrors. it is commonly used to replace other optical materials to make optical components and infrared optical windows. It is also widely used in far-infrared military equipment, such as night vision infrared and far infrared scopes, night vision cameras, instruments of satellites and space technology, windows for high-power lasers, various optical prisms, optical windows, UV and IR windows and lenses, observation windows for low-temperature experiments, and high precision instruments for navigation and aerospace.
Take an example of anti-glare sapphire glass. Anti-glare sapphire glass, also known as anti-glare glass, is a kind of glass with special processing on the glass surface. Anti-glare glass used in the display can effectively prevent the interference of ambient light on the display content, thereby enhancing the clarity of the content and the colour quality of the displayed image. The anti-glare sapphire glass is designed to reduce screen glare, so that the screen display can be seen under strong light and provide a protective effect on the eyes. Therefore, Anti-glare glass is now used in more and more fields, such as electronic books, ATM, medical equipment, car navigation glass, public information inquiry, industrial control, military command, video games, multimedia teaching equipment.
