Some Knowledge about Screen Protector
A screen protector is a transparent layer of strong material that you can attach to your tablet to protect its screen. If you have ever used a device without a screen protector, you will know that the screen is prone to cracks and scratches in some cases, and it can even be completely damaged. But when using a screen protector, if your phone falls off your desk, gets shuffled around in a pocket or purse, or takes an impact, the screen protector, not the screen, breaks.
Therefore, when your screen protector is broken but the phone screen is not damaged, you know it has done its job, so you don't need to pay expensive screen replacement fees.
Needless to say, a good screen protector is a shield to protect the tablet touch screen from being damaged. In the past, tablet screen protective films were produced to protect tablet screens from scratches, oil, dust or dirt. With the development of mobile technology, tempered glass materials have been used for screen protectors. This provides better security for our tablets, especially mobile device screens. In addition, using a tablet screen protector may be a way to protect your eyes. There is an anti-reflective screen protector that can reduce the reflection of ultraviolet rays on the bright screen of our tablet. This can protect our eyes from UV rays. More importantly, the screen protector can protect the privacy of your tablet. The anti-spy screen protector can protect your tablet's private data from prying eyes. This kind of screen protection film is embedded with a special material layer, so that the visible range of the screen is only 30 degrees directly in front of the side. With this screen protector, the person standing next to you cannot see your tablet screen.
Nowadays, the variety of films on the market are endless. Whether it is glass film or thin plastic, it can protect your tablet screen to a certain extent. The glass-type film is very protective, so it is also widely welcomed by people. The most important propaganda point in the promotion of the tempered glass film is the hardness, because the film itself is a protective measure to prevent scratches on the screen or the body. When it comes to the hardness of the film, 4H hardness was advertised when PET was a plastic film before. At present, the most common publicity for tempered glass film is "9H hardness".
