Newton's rings appear as concentric alternating bright and dark rings centered at the point of contact between two surfaces; as in a spherical (lens) and an adjacent flat surface and are irritating while viewing electronic displays. These rainbow color rings are formed when two surfaces are pressed together. They are generated due to the interference between the light waves reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the "air layer" formed between the lens and the flat sheet. The light rings are caused by constructive interference, while the dark rings by destructive interference. In LCD's, Newton's rings appear by the close contact between the light diffusion plate and light guide.
PCI Labs new Anti-Newton Ring, UV-curable Vueguard® 900 AN series of coatings for optical clear polymeric substrates and glass and the thermal cure Zestguard 907 for glass, offer outstanding chemical and abrasion resistant properties, while completely eliminating the annoying Newton's rings from LCD's, displays and optical filters.
