OnScreen ® Hybrid glass anti-reflective surface
OnScreen® Hybridglass grade protection with anti-glare surface coating
OnScreen ® is a Neoxum brand
Anti-reflective hybrid glass is as hard as glass, yet as flexible as film. OnScreen® Hybrid glass with anti-reflective surface coating is an extremely resistant flexible composite of glass and special polymer. The glass hard surface with anti-glare coating is combined with the flexibility of a film. The hard surface up to 9H according to ISO 15184 guarantees efficient scratch protection of sensitive displays and surfaces. The flexibility ensures that anti-glare OnScreen ® hybridglass does not shatter or break. Installation on smooth surfaces such as displays, glass, plastic or metal is also child's play thanks to the homogeneous adhesive silicone layer. Bubble-free application is guaranteed. OnScreen ® Hybrid glass can be removed at any time without leaving any residue. The adhesive effect is nevertheless extremely high, so that the flexible yet hard protective layer does not slip. Surfaces are protected from scratches and mechanical damage with the help of the glass-hard anti-reflective layer. In our opinion, screen hybrid glass is the perfect scratch protection and superior to fragile bulletproof glass. In addition to the anti-reflective variant (label "MHG" for matte hybrid glass), our hybrid glass film material is available as crystal clear variant (label "CHG" for clear hybrid glass).
-30 °C up to 140 °C
High temperature resistance
Both the anti-glare film and the crystal-clear display film from Neoxum are extremely temperature-resistant. Hybrid glass is even more temperature-resistant. Tests have shown that the flexible and glass-hard display protection material is stable in a temperature range from -30 °C to +140 °C. OnScreen ® Hybrid glass with anti-glare effect protects displays (and touch displays) from damage and scratches in cold to very cold environments, such as outdoor winter or deep-freeze environments. Under extremely hot conditions, such as industrial panels in heavy industry or surfaces that are permanently exposed to high temperatures, such as photovoltaic panels, OnScreen ® hybrid glass from Neoxum remains absolutely dimensionally stable. Clear hybridglas also shows identical high temperature resistance.
OnScreen® Hybridglas extreme testing
In the following test (nothing was faked, retouched, or manipulated!), we exposed a transparent hybrid glass to extreme sparks (heat) and subsequent mechanical stress (hammer blow). We could just as well have used a matte anti-reflective hybrid glass in the test.

Adhesion effect display protection Neoxum
Adhesion forces OnScreen® Hybridglass
Analogous to our anti-reflective protection films or crystal-clear display protection films, OnScreen® hybrid glasses adhere exclusively via physical adhesion forces. The siliconized underside of the hybrid glass adheres to smooth surfaces such as glass, plastics, polished metals and even painted surfaces with the help of a kind of suction pad in the nanometer range. The advantage of not using adhesives is that the adhesion is reversible and at the same time so strong that an applied hybrid glass will never slip under normal conditions. Neither cold nor high temperatures reduce adhesion to smooth surfaces. Aging, as with acrylic adhesives, is not observed. OnScreen® hybrid glasses are perfect for industrial applications. But the flexible glass films are also suitable as scratch protection for cell phones, cameras and touchscreens. Neoxum produces OnScreen® Hybrid glasses up to a size of 1600 x 1000 mm (approx. 85 inch diagonal) in almost any shape (very tight radii must be tested in advance) and quantity customized.
But the flexible glass films are also perfectly suited as scratch protection for mobile phones, cameras, and touchscreens – available in clear or anti-reflective versions. Neoxum produces OnScreen® hybrid glass up to a size of 1000 x 800 mm (approximately 55 inches diagonal) in almost any shape (very tight radii need to be tested in advance) and quantity tailored to the customer. Individual engravings, such as inventory numbers, names, logos, or inscriptions, are also possible.
Adhesion / Adhesive Strength Neoxum Display Protection
Adhesive forces on surfaces
Neoxum display protection films and our OnScreen ® hybrid glass adhere purely through physical adhesion, meaning the films attach to the display using a kind of “suction cup at the nanometer level” without any use of glues or adhesives. When removing Neoxum display protection films or hybrid glass from the display, no residues remain on the display.
Physical Chemical Forces
Several factors play an important role in the adhesion of high-quality screen protectors to screen surfaces. Adhesion is a decisive phenomenon in the molecular range that arises from polar interactions at interfaces, in our case the interface between the display surface and the silicone adhesive layer of the display protector. In particular, so-called van der Waals bonds in the area of molecules of the display surface and molecules of the adhesion layer (the very thin silicone adhesive layer) are decisively responsible for the strong adhesion to smooth surfaces. The decisive condition of adhesion is the spatial proximity of the two surfaces. The silicone adhesion layer of the Neoxum display protection or surface protection is such that Neoxum display films, as well as the OnScreen Hybrid Glass adhere extremely well to numerous smooth materials, such as plastic, metal, but also glass. The adhesive film and the hybrid glass can be removed from all materials without leaving any residue.
Layer Structure Neoxum Protective Film
Layer construction OnScreen ® Hybrid Glass
Why is that
Commercially available simple adhesive films usually have an adhesive layer made of acrylate adhesive or modified acrylate. This adhesive layer exerts much stronger physical bonds than the adhesive forces of the adhesive films. This type of acrylic adhesive film usually CANNOT be removed from displays without leaving residue after a few weeks or months of use.
Removable without residue
Von allen Untergründen kann OnScreen ® Hybridglas mattiert problemlos und rückstandsfrei wieder entfernt werden.
