SIMVACO Continuous AR Coating Line for Automotive Display Glass

Automotive Display Glass: An Industry Shift Towards Optical Excellence

In the evolving landscape of smart mobility, the role of automotive display glass has transcended simple protection. Whether it's the central control touchscreen, co-driver infotainment panel, or rear-seat cinema-grade display, optical clarity, anti-reflection, fingerprint resistance, and design consistency have become core demands.

To meet the industry’s escalating requirements, SIMVACO introduces a high-efficiency continuous vacuum AR coating line, tailored for automotive-grade display glass.


🔧 Core Positioning:

Engineered for High-End Automotive Display Cover Glass Production

SIMVACO’s continuous sputtering system is built on years of R&D and real-world deployment across the optical and automotive sectors. This solution seamlessly combines advanced magnetron sputtering, plasma-assisted deposition, and multi-layer optical film stack engineering, ideal for:

  • TFT-LCD / OLED / Mini LED display cover glass
  • AR integrated optical glass
  • Automotive central control & rear-seat entertainment screen glass
  • Touch panel anti-reflection and anti-fingerprint surface coatings

🧪 Advanced Technical Framework:

1. Multi-Layer Deposition – Up to 9 Layers in One Pass

Modern automotive display glass typically requires composite film stacks to deliver anti-reflective (AR), hard-coating, conductive, and easy-clean (AF) functionalities.

SIMVACO’s line integrates:

  • Multi-target magnetron sputtering sources
  • Thermal evaporation modules for functional top layers
  • Segmented process zones for thermal and plasma tuning

Achieves up to 9 continuous layers in one vacuum cycle, greatly enhancing throughput, coating uniformity, and optical performance.


2. Color Uniformity Control – ΔE < 1.5 Across Entire Panels

Color accuracy is critical for stitched glass displays or curved integrated dashboards. SIMVACO employs:

  • Target zone field homogenization
  • Real-time compensation for web tension & thermal deviation
  • Inline spectroscopic feedback loops

📊 Field validation shows:

  • ΔE Average: 1.29
  • ΔE Stability Across Large Panels: <1.0
  • Supports seamless multi-screen assemblies with zero visible mismatch

3. Flexible Substrate Compatibility & Smart Automation

To stay ahead of automotive design iterations, SIMVACO’s line supports:

Feature Range
Glass Size 3.5" to 55" curved substrates
Materials Gorilla Glass, AG glass, chemically strengthened substrates
Positioning Accuracy ±0.5 mm auto-compensation

With industrial cameras + AI-based alignment, the system enables:

  • One-click process switching
  • Fast target position auto-adjust
  • Recipe upload via digital twin platform
