I don't get it. How would a glass layer, on *top* of the screen, light guide and capacitance layer, cause a colour shift? I'd expect any shift to be an artifact of the light guide, screen reflectance and possible absorption by the capacitance layer (all of which are present on the PW too), not of absorption by the glass. If there's one thing we know how to build, it's transparent glass: certainly glass that's more transparent than plastic!

This is doubly true since people are reporting not an off-colour screen in general, but a colour change that varies with distance from the LEDs. The only things which vary with distance from the LEDs are the light guide's diffraction grating and the light intensity; the former is, obviously, meant to counteract the latter, so if there is a change in any quality of lighting with distance from the LEDs, the only likely cause is the grating, not the glass, and certainly not the capacitance layer (a regular grid if it's like other such layers).
