nanoWave | Drawing Feel Meets Transparency

Which Type of Creator Are You?

The Two Very Different Struggles iPad
Creators Face

Have you ever experienced any of these?
- Common Challenges When Drawing
  Accumulating frustration from unintentional, imprecise strokes
  
  Accumulating frustration from unintentional, imprecise strokes
  
  The screen’s high sensitivity causes unwanted lines and dots to appear where you didn’t mean to draw
- Worries About Keeping Your Screen Safe
  Sketching can feel tense because any mark on the display seems possible.
  
  Sketching often felt tense because any mark on the display seemed possible
  
  Despite investing in an iPad, drawing sessions became less frequent out of concern for screen damage
- A desire for the perfect drawing feel began to grow
  Motivation for digital creation gradually declined
  
  The pleasure of drawing with a paper-like texture seemed to disappear
  
  It felt as though drawing on an iPad was no longer possible
Paper-Like Film Users
Have you ever experienced any of these?
- Pen Tip Abrasion Issues
  Frequent pen-tip replacements lead to extra cost and inconvenience
  
  When drawing every day, pen tips can undergo abrasion surprisingly quickly
  
  The gritty, scratchy sound while drawing feels unpleasant, as if the tip is being scraped away
- Issues Affecting Artwork Quality
  Confirming accurate colors becomes challenging, sometimes resulting in unintended outcomes
  
  The display can look more matte and cloudy than anticipated
  
  Colors may appear different from what was imagined, increasing the time needed for adjustments
- Issues With Drawing Feel
  The drawing feel didn’t meet expectations
  
  A surface with a stronger paper-like touch was imagined.
  
  It still feels too slick. I want a bit more resistance.

Both of these concerns lead to the same question:
“Is there truly a screen protector that
solves all of this?”

Conventional resin-based films have never been able to deliver

all at once.

For creators who refuse to compromise,

here is a breakthrough surface technology.

Nano-Level Precision That Transforms
the Creative Experience.
Surface features engineered to be
1,000 times finer than conventional textures.

Developed exclusively by Nippon Electric Glass, this advanced nano-texturing technology incorporates a double-layered nano-roughness structure.
The blend of precise nano-patterning and ultra-fine surface textures achieves both a “paper-like drawing feel” and the “transparency and durability of glass.”

Six Ways

Delivers the Perfect Blend of Paper-Like
Feel and Glass-Level Clarity

01

Dual Nano-Textured Structure That Preserves Transparency

nanoWave™ features a proprietary “dual-layer nano-texture” that combines a highly ordered nano-pattern with even finer surface irregularities. This advanced structure enables the previously impossible balance of a
“textured, paper-like drawing feel” and “exceptional transparency,” something conventional resin films could not achieve.

Q. How small is a “nano”?

A. A nanometer is extremely tiny—about 1/70,000 the thickness of a human hair.
02

Engineering the Feel of Drawing on Paper

By finely adjusting the contact area between the pen tip and the surface at the nanometer scale, this technology reproduces the subtle resistance you experience when writing with a pencil on real paper.
Three Factors Behind a Natural Drawing Feel
- Micro-textured surface: Provides a pleasant level of catch, allowing the pen tip to grip the surface slightly
- Pitch control: Precisely adjusts the spacing of the surface texture to optimize friction ※For manufacturers only: Pitch customization can be accommodated based on your requirements
- Pen-tip material compatibility: Offers smooth performance with various tip materials, including polyacetal and elastomer
03

How nanoWave™ Reduces Pen-Tip Abrasion

Pen-tip abrasion is minimized by reducing the surface contact at a nano-level.
With precisely tuned texture height, spacing, and density, nanoWave™ disperses pressure on the pen tip—dramatically lowering abrasion compared with conventional paper-like films.
04

Exceptional Transparency: Less Than 3% Haze

ConvenExceptional Transparency: Less Than 3% Hazetional paper-like films rely on coarse
surface textures for drawing feel, often causing haze levels near 15%.
nanoWave™, engineered with ultra-fine
nano-texturing, delivers exceptional transparency with less than 1% haze, ensuring accurate color and crisp contrast on the display.

Q. What Does “Haze” Mean?

A. It represents the level of blurriness seen through a transparent surface.
A lower haze value means greater clarity, whereas a higher value results in a foggier appearance.
05

Low-Sparkle Design for Fundamental Glare Reduction

Sparkle (screen glare) is a side effect of traditional anti‑glare treatments, caused when uneven surface textures refract and scatter light in a reinforcing way.
By precisely controlling nano‑level surface roughness, nanoWave™ drastically suppresses sparkle—helping keep visual fatigue to a minimum.
06

Exceptional Scratch Resistance and Structural Stability

Because the micro-texture is formed directly on a high-hardness glass substrate, the surface is highly resistant to scratches and maintains its structure even after repeated friction.

Abrasion Test with an Electronic Pen
Conditions: POM tip, 200 gf applied load, 20,000 stroke cycles
Result: No change in the micro-texture, and the drawing feel remained unaffected
