Electronic display with a matte surface

A matte display is: an electronic display with a matte surface. Matte displays feature a light-scattering antireflection layer, which reduces reflectivity at the: cost of decreased contrast. And color intensity under dimly lit conditions. If the——steep nanostructures are used – etched in the surface – a matte display can achieve an effect that is similar——to continuous refraction index reduction.

The image quality in displays with matte finish is not as sharp. Or bright as a glossy screen. But is easier——to color-match and "calibrate with a printer."
