This invention is a coating for consumer electronic devices which is designed to reduce overheating under ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), or direct sunlight exposure while preserving high visible light transmission. This coating is adapted from solar reflective coatings in architectural windows and repurposed for electronic devices to maintain the display clarity. It can be retrofitted or integrated with consumer electronics such as cell phones, outdoor touchscreens, and other devices frequently exposed to sunlight. Background: Extended sun exposure, particularly from direct sunlight, can significantly damage electronic devices since metal and glass components absorb heat quickly. Overheating can damage batteries, cause performance issues, glitches, and possible system failures, including data loss. This electronic device coating reflects ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) wavelengths that cause unwanted heating in portable devices that are frequently exposed to sunlight. The novel coating improves device reliability, longevity and performance while maintaining display clarity though the transmission of visible light. Applications:
