Visual imperfections and wear on consumer electronics housings reduce product longevity and perceived quality. Preventing surface marring and color instability maintains brand value and structural integrity.

Standard optical coatings often fail to provide high-contrast unidirectional visibility while maintaining structural aesthetics. Overcoming this allows for privacy-enhancing surfaces and ceramic-like finishes on functional electronic housings.

Mechanical fragility and susceptibility to fracture in glass-ceramic substrates. Improving structural integrity prevents catastrophic failure in portable electronic device housings.
