antireflection
Stops unwanted light bounce
Antireflection describes coatings or treatments designed to reduce light reflection from a surface.
Camera lenses, eyeglasses, and solar panels use antireflection coatings to maximize light transmission and minimize glare: antireflection coating on the lens.
The technology works by creating thin layers that cause reflected light waves to cancel each other out.
