Optical bonding also eliminates the air gap between the cover glass and the display, making the display more rugged and protecting it against condensation which can cause fogging on the surface. Optical bonding can be provided by GTK on TFT display sizes ranging from 2.4-10.1″ and also those with resistive or capacitive touchscreens.
Clive Dickinson, Business Manager for Optoelectronics at GTK said, “Optical bonding really improves the robustness and durability of TFT displays and can extend their life in harsh outdoor environments. We supply toughened glass lenses for extra durability and the costs of this technology are not prohibitive when you consider the many benefits they provide over the life of the product.”
