Scratch Resistance Polycarbonate Graphic Overlays For User
Interface Electronic Devices
Graphic Overlays specification:
Graphic overlay is a type of user interface component that is
commonly used in various electronic devices and equipment. It
serves as a protective and decorative layer on top of the
underlying control panel or membrane switch assembly.
Key features and characteristics of a polycarbonate graphic overlay
include:
Material Composition:
The overlay is typically made from polycarbonate, a durable and
transparent thermoplastic material.
Polycarbonate offers excellent impact resistance, scratch
resistance, and optical clarity.
Graphic Design:
The polycarbonate overlay can be printed or decorated with various
graphics, legends, symbols, and text.
This allows for customization and branding of the user interface,
enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
Surface Treatments:
The polycarbonate overlay can undergo various surface treatments to
improve its functionality and appearance, such as:
Anti-glare or matte finish to reduce glare and improve visibility
Anti-fingerprint coatings to minimize the visibility of
fingerprints
UV protection to prevent fading or discoloration over time
Tactile Features:
The polycarbonate overlay can be molded or embossed to include
tactile features, such as raised buttons, sliders, or other input
elements.
This integration of tactile features enhances the user experience
and provides intuitive feedback during operation.
Durability and Protection:
The polycarbonate material offers excellent durability, scratch
resistance, and resistance to environmental factors, such as
moisture, chemicals, and temperature extremes.
The overlay serves as a protective layer for the underlying
components, shielding them from potential damage.
They can be adhered, clipped, or otherwise secured to the device,
ensuring a clean and unified appearance.
Applications of Polycarbonate Graphic Overlays:
Control panels for industrial equipment and machinery
User interfaces for medical devices and instrumentation
Keypads and control surfaces for home appliances
Dashboards and consoles in automotive and transportation
applications
Displays and control interfaces for consumer electronics
Rugged and outdoor equipment, such as power tools or outdoor
recreational devices
The combination of the polycarbonate material's durability,
customizable graphic design, and integration capabilities make it a
popular choice for enhancing the visual appeal, user experience,
and protection of various electronic devices and user interfaces.
| Overlay material ---For front or face overlay |
| Polyester | Polycarbonate |
1 Highly versatile for embossing 2 Highly resistant for chemicals 3 Better durability 4 For internal and external use | 1 wide range of the surface finishes and thicknesses 2 More cost-effective 3 For internal and external use 4 many Lexan label choose |
| Embossing --- Graphic overlay or up circuit can be embossed in order to insert
metal stainless steel domes for good tactile when press .Leave
space for mechanical keys and provide tactile indications |
| Pedestal embossing | Rim embossing | Pillow embossing | Dim embossing |
| Windows or LCD --- For display functions |
| Printed colors windows such like red ,black and so on | Transparent finishes windows |
| Keys |
| Tactile Keys :witch Poly domes ,Poly dome with different diameter
and pressure kinds | Non-tactile keys: printed silver spot on the circuit |
| LED Window ---Transparent or Tinted LED window ,color is custom design |
| EL and Sensors or inductors --- EL can be light any place where where you like ,and sensors can be
used as LEDs |
| Cables --- is extension of circuit and communication with your device |
| Screen printing conductive silver cable | Copper plated cable /Polyimide or FPC | PCB cable |
| Types of connector --- 1 Zero insertion force(ZIF) with 0.5MM ,1.0MM,1.25MM pitch ;2
Female connector with 2.54MM pitch; 3 Male connector |
| Shielding --- For protection function |
| Gasket seal/Waterproof :protect the conductors against from the
humidity and splashes | EMI/RFI/ESD Shielding: use an Aluminum foil shielding /clear ITO
electrical conductive polyester to protect |
| Rear Adhesive --- Mostly use the 3M double-side mounting glue brand of USA. Also
accepted others such like Lohmann and others |
| Back plate --- Use in Aluminum ,Polycarbonate ,Acrylic Or PMMA |
| Matching color --- PMS or RAL Is best ,CMYK or RGB also can be ok if you can
supply PMS Or RAL |
| Standard Tolerances :+/-0.2MM |
