OnScreen ® Hybridglass
OnScreen® Hybridglass protects your value
OnScreen ® is a Neoxum brand
OnScreen ® Hybridglass is an extremely resistant and flexible composite of glass and special polymer with the flexibility of a film combined with the hard surface of glass. The hard surface of up to 9H according to ISO 15184 guarantees efficient scratch protection of sensitive displays and surfaces. Hybrid glass is the perfect combination of the properties of transparent glass and the flexibility of a plastic film. The result is a very flexible bendable and transparent surface protection that has a glass hard surface and yet is elastic enough not to shatter like glass. Equipped with a thin silicone layer, OnScreen® Hybrid Glass films adhere perfectly to all smooth surfaces made of plastic, glass or metal without leaving any residue when removed later. Touch surfaces are effectively protected from scratches and mechanical damage. In our opinion, hybrid glass is the perfect scratch protection and superior to fragile bulletproof glass, many times called "Panzerglas".
High transparancy of the OnScreen® Hybridglass
OnScreen ® At 0.22 mm overall thickness, hybrid glass is very strong and therefore extremely robust. Nevertheless, the flexible glass is highly transparent and crystal clear. Screen contents are displayed naturally. Colors are not distorted. The hybrid glass is ideally suited for demanding tasks.
If an application on the display can no longer be read well or at all in direct sunlight, we recommend using the similarly robust anti-reflective hybrid glass with a matte surface coating.
Measured transmission of light
The light transmission was determined according to ASTM D 1003. The measurement data show a transparency of up to 95%, which means that the human eye can see virtually no difference with and without hybrid glass in terms of light transmission. Just glass!
Optical properties of OnScreen ® Hybridglass
The color authenticity of OnScreen® hybrid glass is enormously high. A key property of glass is its light transmission in the spectrum that is optically visible to humans, approx. 400 to 800 nanometers. In addition, glass exhibits excellent properties with regard to color accuracy. Due to the amorphous structure of glass, which in combination with a highly transparent special polymer, results in an extremely high color consistency: colors of the screen or display, or touch screen are completely preserved and are not distorted or the color spectrum shifted. Feedback from customers in the world of photography or graphics confirm the outstanding optical properties. Customers from the industrial sector, who use the very hard surface and flexibility of the hybrid glass, for example in their production on touchscreens, panels or terminals, are also convinced by the color reproduction.
-30 °C up to 140 °C
High temperature resistance
Both the anti-glare film and the enormously transparent display film from Neoxum are extremely temperature-resistant. OnScreen® Hybrid Glass is also very 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. Industrial-grade OnScreen® Hybrid Glass protects sensitive displays in winter or cold storage, as well as hot conditions, such as industrial panels in welding or printing industries. Neoxum OnScreen® Hybrid Glass remains absolutely dimensionally stable at high temperatures or cold. The flexible and crystal clear non-splintering alternative to bulletproof glass retains its high transparency and does not become cloudy even after many loads.
OnScreen® Hybridglas extreme testing
Heat test with an abrasive cutter grinding off a metal block. The OnScreen hybrid glass withstands extreme flying sparks. Subsequently, extreme test with a hammer blow on the hybrid glass, which was applied to a plexiglass carrier.

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.
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
