Sharp Uses LCD Screen Know-How to Produce Fog-Free, Low-Glare Face Shields

Back in March, it was reported that Sharp was converting one of their TV factories to produce face shields. Now it appears they’ve used their LCD screen know-how to develop a manufacturing trick for face shields: Producing transparent plastic sheets that are “finely rough,” which makes it harder for water droplets to stick to them.
