<p>A multilayer antireflective coating (32) is applied to the outer surface of a video display panel (14) such as a CRT (10) or a flat panel display in the form of successive thin layers each having a different light refractive index, where the light refractive index of each layer decreases in the direction away from the surface of the display panel. Each layer is formed from the same starting gel materials, with the degree of crosslinking of each gel layer is varied to provide the desired light refractive index for reducing reflections from the display panel's outer surface over a wide spectrum. The extend of crosslinking and the individual layer's light refractive index is varied by controlling the aging of the gel, with longer aging providing increased crosslinking and a lower light refractive index. An antistatic layer may be applied directly to the outer surface of the display panel before the antireflective coating is applied by adding an electrically conductive fine powder.</p> |
