What is Color Filter Glass?
Coloured dye is injected into a glass substrate to create Colour Filter Glass. The dye determines the colour and spectrum performance of the filter. Colour glass filters are simple, reliable optics that may be utilised in a variety of applications in this regard. They are quite effective for isolating certain spectrum areas. They transmit light in certain wavelength ranges while absorbing wavelengths that are undesirable. Colour glass filters are useful for selective wavelength absorption and, as a result, have excellent out-of-band blocking capabilities. Colour filter glasses are also renowned for making the filter curves practically independent of the angle of light. Apart from its extensive industrial applications, the primary factor driving the demand and growth of colour filter glass is its applications in medical instruments. Recent Surge in investments in healthcare sector has aided in accelerating the growth. North America is the largest market of colour filter glass.
