SUNLIGHT READABLE TFT’s WITH NO EXTRA POWER!!

"VIA bond lamination process"
When a standard window or touchscreen is applied to a TFT, an airgap is created between the two mediums, resulting in refraction of light. This leads to internal reflections and display (contrast) washout.
The innovative VIA-bond process fills the gap with specially formulated material with cross-polymer capability. This creates an optically matched solution maximising display viewability in a all light levels. In addition the chemical bond increases the mechanical integrity of the display.

Display window or touch is bonded to TFT

Internal reflections eliminated
Bond cures with time - greater resistance to shock
Technology scalable to 65” diagonal
Bonding of glass, polycarbonate or touch screen possible
Ideal for daylight / sunlight readable conditions
Removable / recoverable process
TFT glass to front glass contamination or condensation eliminated
Intrinsic strength of window assembly increased
Bond cures with time - greater resistance to shock

The technology can be applied to most TFT panels, call us to today to discuss your application
