Along with decorative and wear resistant applications, PVD technology is finding wider use in depositing functional coatings that impart special properties to surfaces. Spectacle lenses, medical devices, energy industry and electronics are key areas attracting functional PVD coatings. For instance, anti-reflective and anti-fog coatings are becoming standard on prescription eyeglasses to enhance vision quality. In the biomedical field, PVD’s ability to create biomimetic coatings of optimal biocompatibility, like titanium nitride, helps implants integrate better with the body. The energy sector leverages PVD for coating solar panels with anti-reflective, anti-soiling and self-cleaning layers to boost efficiency. Electronics is a major consumer as well, applying anti-smudge, anti-scratch coatings on devices.
