Global Network Resources Optical Bonding & Brightness Enhancement Films

LCD Optical Bonding:
Passive Optical Enhancements greatly improve the performance of light-emitting displays in high ambient light environments. Optical bonding is, in essence, the sealing of two optical components together by means of an optically compliant adhesive. Optical bonding uses a carefully selected optical grade silicone gel that combines superior optical performance with proven endurance in adverse environmental conditions.
The goal of optical bonding is to reduce or eliminate reflection problems that hinder the proper function of displays in ambient light conditions. Optical bonding gives the look and feel of enhancing the NIT brightness and contrast ratio of a display by reducing ambient light washout. It also functions as a protective layer for the display, protecting it from damage due to vibration, shock, and deliberate tampering. It is also versatile enough to be combined with film and other types of display enhancements, surpassing the effect either can achieve alone.  Different bonded glass thicknesses are available dependent upon project requirements.

Brightness Enhancement Film:
Brightness Enhancement Films are used to reflect the back light out towards the panel and increase the efficiency of the LCD panel backlight. Most panels usually are only about 62-68% efficient and our process increases the backlight efficiency to 98-99%.

Advantages of Optical Bonding and Brightness Enhancement Films:

Benefits

  • Increased Contrast
  • Increased Brightness
  • Drastically Reduced Reflectance
  • Environmentally seals the front of the display
  • Protects the display from impact damage and adds ruggedability
  • Large selection of panel overlays (AR, AG, IR, smudge, touchscreen)

Advantages

  • The only truly reworkable bond in the industry, resulting in higher yield for the customer
  • Non-toxic. Safer for end users and the environment
  • Passive Enhancement. Does not affect panel life
  • No bubbles accepted within active area
  • More optically clear

*Does not increase heat generated from LCD system
