Matte surfaces prevent reflections by diffusing the light rays that hit them. They have the same effect on light rays that pass through them.

There is a reason your house and car windows are polished to a reflective surface. It provides more acuity.

I wonder if there's a way we could engineer a nanotech materical that passes light through a screen in one direction without diffusion, but in the opposite direction diffuses the light to prevent reflections.
