I find such a screen much more difficult to keep clean; dirt tends to get trapped in the edges.
If mine gets really dirty, I just run it under the tap. No problems.

To the OP: why is it relevant whether the light guides conduct IR? The IR beams are, as you've been told over and over, ABOVE the display.
