Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a front panel for a video display system. According to disclosed embodiments, a substrate is fabricated to incorporate materials having desired functional properties, such as the blocking of ultraviolet visible (UW) laser light, and near infrared light, into the substrate material. After extrusion of the substrate with desired functional properties, an anti-glare hardcoat may be spray-coated to the front and back of the front panel to provide anti-glare as well as anti-stiction properties.
