    Low-dispersion glass (LD glass) is a type of glass with reduced chromatic aberration, meaning the refractive index does not change as strongly with different wavelengths of light. In other words, the light passing through the glass has a smaller spread or dispersion between its constituent colors, resulting in a reduced " rainbow effect" at ...
