Bonding technology

The type of bonding technology you choose for your device can have a major impact on both performance and cost. We’ll work hand-in-hand with your product development team to custom-design and produce display assemblies to fit your unique requirements.

 

Bonding options

•Air gap
Economical and lightweight, an air gap display construction is a popular option for personal handheld electronics such as smartphones. The layers are integrated with a gasket leaving behind a small air gap. This method lacks support between the screen and LCD, can be difficult to read in bright light, and can be prone to parallax issues, breakage and moisture condensation.
•Optically clear adhesive (OCA)
OCA is commonly used on touchscreens, LCD flat panel displays, transparent graphic overlays and other devices requiring an optically clear bond. OCA’s thin, consistent thickness makes it an ideal choice for flexible to rigid bonding and tight tolerance bonding situations. OCA is classified as a dry film, pressure sensitive adhesive and there are different versions depending on the application and substrate to which it will be applied.
•Liquid optically clear adhesive (LOCA)
LOCA offers the most robust and best overall performance of any bonding technology. Handheld devices such as tablets and laptops have led the way using LOCA in display integration. Other industries such as agriculture, military and avionics have incorporated LOCA because of its durability.
