Why they perform
Typical applications
Performance takeaway: Optically clear adhesives combine transparency, durability, and environmental resistance to support high-performance display and touchscreen applications.
Our OCAs maximize optical transparency, enhancing display brightness and color fidelity without compromising clarity. This makes them ideal transparent electronic adhesives for high-definition displays in smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics. In the automotive sector, our optically clear adhesive products shield cockpit display stacks from UV light damage, while they enhance light transmission and minimize reflection.
Optically clear adhesives provide robust, durable bonds that withstand the impacts and vibrations of daily use. Also, by eliminating air gaps between layers, OCAs improve display brightness and contrast. With excellent built-in UV stability, our OCAs offer essential protection for components against damage from overexposure to harmful light. This prevents the yellowing effect that not only weakens the optical quality of a display but also deteriorates its structure. In addition, they are formulated to transmit touch effectively, providing the sensitivity and responsiveness in the long term that users expect from their interactive devices
Our adhesives are engineered to maintain flexibility without compromising the adhesive strength required for modern designs. The tesa® 6973x series is ideal for these applications, offering excellent conformability and strong bonding properties that are essential for curved displays and devices with flexible screens.
The precision required to bond the cover lens to touch panels is critical for the functionality of touch-sensitive devices. Our tesa® 58xx series (opens in a new window or tab) provides optically clear adhesives that ensure seamless integration, enhancing touch sensitivity and visual clarity.
This lamination process is pivotal for the overall display structure and performance. Our tesa® 688xx series and tesa® 71xx series ensures robust bonding and alignment accuracy between the touch panel and the display panel, critical for maintaining the high-resolution output and responsiveness of the display.
As vehicle manufacturers design and develop increasingly complex displays, they are looking for solutions that do not add to the thickness of the stack. Integrating the UV blocking capability directly into the OCA eliminates the need for additional UV blocking layers (such as a polarizer coating). This helps keeping the stack slim and streamlines the production process by reducing the number of manufacturing steps. UV blocking OCAs shield critical components, such as polarizers, touch sensors, and sensitive OLED components, from harmful UV radiation, ensuring durability. We offer solutions both with and without integrated UV blocking functionality, giving manufacturers the flexibility to choose what fits their display design and protection needs best.
Optisch heldere lijmen (OCA) zorgen voor een robuuste hechting tussen beeldschermlagen, zodat ze stevig vast blijven zitten en de kans op delaminatie afneemt. Optisch heldere lijmen zijn bestand tegen hoge temperaturen en vochtigheid en beschermen gevoelige elektronische componenten tegen schade. Ze sluiten de beeldschermlagen af en voorkomen dat stof, vocht en andere verontreinigingen binnendringen. Bovendien behouden OCA's hun kleefeigenschappen na verloop van tijd, zelfs bij herhaald gebruik en mechanisch buigen, wat de ontwikkeling van opvouwbare, gebogen en flexibele beeldschermen ondersteunt.
Optisch heldere lijmen (OCA's) zorgen voor een beter lichtbeheer binnen een beeldscherm, waardoor helderheid, contrast, duurzaamheid en UV-bescherming worden verbeterd. Door de ruimte tussen de beeldschermlagen op te vullen, elimineren OCA's luchtlekken die lichtbreking kunnen veroorzaken om schittering en reflectie te verminderen. En OCA's zorgen ervoor dat kleuren levendiger lijken door een naadloze verbinding te creëren tussen displaycomponenten.
