What Industries are Optical Bonding Best Used for?
August 8, 2022
What is Optical Bonding?
Optical bonding involves bonding a cover glass or touch screen to an LCD cell. An adhesive, such as silicone gel, epoxy, or urethane, is applied to eliminate air gaps by inserting it between the cover glass and the LCD. Optical bonding is a necessary process for touch screens and display screens to ensure the touch capabilities are accurate and the screen stays strong and performs optimally in all conditions.
Which Industries Would Benefit From Optical Bonding?
The optical bonding process was created to ensure that touch and display screens can continue to perform their best when working in extreme or harsh conditions. This is why optical bonding is recommended in applications where a higher-performing display is needed.
When touch and display screens are used in harsh conditions, such as where there is moisture, dust, or high ambient light, optically bonding can help ensure the screens last long and work effectively at all times. Optical bonding is particularly suited for screens that will be used outdoors or in heavily lit areas. Some of the specific industries that benefit from optical bonding technology include:
- Military
- Marine
- Kiosk
- Transportation
- Medical
- Restaurant
- And more
