UV Blocking Glass Solutions for Color Correction and Scattered UV Elimination in Photography.
When dealing with any kind of photography, you are always dealing with light of some form or another. Photography by definition is the act of capturing an image on film or digitally through a lens or an aperture. Modern photography has become so precise and so amazingly beautiful that stunning images have really [...]
Using UV Blocking Glass to Protect Liquid Crystal Displays
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology and display quality continues to evolve, while prices for LCDs have declined dramatically in the last few years. These two factors have helped to increase demand for LCDs in a variety of new and challenging applications, such as outdoor displays, where environmental conditions such as high ambient light and heat [...]
Using UV blocking glass to prevent skin and eye damage from entertainment or medical lighting.
Throughout the past few decades, it has been established that people are being damaged by ultraviolet light from the sun, and so we are being encouraged by the medical industry to take protective measures to limit the effect the sun has on our skin and eyes. UV blocking glass is one such way we [...]
How to Protect Museum Quality Artwork with UV Blocking Glass
UV Blocking Glass acts as a mirror with regard to Ultraviolet light wavelengths (400nm and shorter). UV rays are one of the most significant sources of degradation in museum artwork. As such it is a problem that has prompted much consideration. Since artwork is intended to be seen, it is important that [...]

How do LuxVu Transparent Heater Windows protect outdoor security cameras?
LuxVu Transparent Heater Windows mitigate the adverse effect of cold weather on the functionality and visibility of outdoor security cameras. Environmental concerns are regularly an issue when dealing with outdoor optical equipment and certain measures must be taken to mitigate the impact of those concerns.
Extreme weather conditions are familiar territory for the military as [...]
What is a Transparent Heater Window?
Transparent Heater Windows are used for widely differing purposes from keeping food hot or cold to preventing aircraft windows from frosting over. In essence a Transparent Heater Window is a pane of glass with an application of transparent semiconductor coating that has electric current passed through the coating. The electrical resistance of the [...]
Some ways to improve the performance of an EMI Shielding Window.
Once you’ve determined what kind of EMI shielding window is appropriate for an application, you then have to take into consideration any modifications that may be needed for implementation. One environmental concern that may cause the application to perform inadequately is use outdoors during peak daylight hours. In this situation you have an [...]
How are LuxVu ECTC’s better than Knitted or Woven Mesh Screens?
Since there a few options available for EMI shielding window applications, it is important to know their differences. The obvious main difference between an electrically conductive transparent coating (ECTC) and knitted or woven wire mesh screens is that the ECTC does not have wires. Wires make an excellent conductive dB shield, but are [...]
What is an EMI Shielding Window?
An EMI shielding window is an optically transparent, electrically conductive barrier that significantly reduces the amount of electro-magnetic radiation that might pass through it. These shielding windows are commonly surrounded by non-transparent barriers that are more effective EMI shields, but do not offer the optical transmission needed to allow visible light to pass through [...]
