Adam's Matt Glass a Very Good Scratch Resistance too

Many people like to have Matte display rather than glossy one on their notebooks.Once there was a time few people used to buy Dell instead of Aplle for Matte glass display.....After hearing from many people apple introduce Matte display to few of their product segments also.

Matte is known for its no reflection and glossy for its resistance to scratch.
Its good to hear Notion Ink uses Matte display and its exciting that they make it much resistance to scratch.

Find out the picture where a Matte vs Glossy Glass is compared in Mac books by Engadget...the right one being 17 inch matte and left one 15 inch glossy finish display.


Rohan in his latest weekend post informed us about the following

We told you how much we love Matt (that’s one reason why all the monitors here are from Dell). We have invested a lot of time in figuring out the right surface values which gives the perfect combination of 2 worlds (no reflection property of matt and scratch resistant property of glossy surface). But the first question: “Why every other device we see is Glossy and not matt?” The answer lies in the surface property. In general you can say that glossy surfaces along with giving better photograph of the device for marketing and shelf view, gives scratch-less experience (for its defined life time). And that is very much required. If your surface is rough (matt), it will be susceptible to scratches cos now when you drag a sharp object on it, it will have something to drag along, and leave a mark behind. All of this makes designing matt surfaces for touch screen extremely difficult and costly.

Here is the image of the 3 tests which I did for you this morning (Adam is using the improved version of the last one shown here)
