Lamination Options

When designing a display module, the choice of lamination process plays a critical role in the final product's optical performance, structural integrity, environmental durability, and assemblability.

Optical Full Lamination

Better Optical Quality (clarity, brightness, contrast)
Stronger Impact Resistance
Better Dust and Water Resistance

OCA Lamination

  • (Optical Clear Adhesive) Easier Processing (clean application with OCA sheet) Lower Cost Lower Reliability for Uneven Surface
OCA Lamination

LOCA Lamination

  • (Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive) Harder Processing (difficult residue clearance) Higher Cost Better Reliability for Uneven Surface
LOCA Lamination
  • LOCA lamination process is applicable for: Outdoor or automotive applications. Displays with a metal frame enclosing the display glass, creating a step between the frame and the glass surface. Displays of 5 inches or larger.

Structural Lamination

Lower optical quality (clarity, brightness, contrast)
Weaker Impact Resistance
Weaker Dust and Water Resistance
Lower Processing Efficiency

Frame Lamination

  • Harder Processing (hard to hold frame tape) We can also pre-apply double-sided tape (waterproof if necessary) to the back of the laminated cover glass, allowing assembly workers to easily secure the cover glass to the final product.
Frame Lamination

Gluing Lamination

  • We can customize our adhesive bonding solutions to meet client specifications, using different types of adhesives to assemble the cover lens or housing precisely as needed.
Gluing Lamination

Film Lamination

  • To meet our customers' demands for higher optical performance, we apply specialized films to the cover glass including: AG Film (Anti-Glare) AF Film (Anti-Fingerprint) Privacy Film Anti-polarizing Film
Film Lamination

Assembly Options

When integrating the display module into your casing design, selecting the appropriate assembly method is crucial for ensuring structural integrity, aesthetic quality, and cost efficiency.

Front Adhesive Bonding

  • Embedded from Casing Back

    The laminated display module is securely installed by embedding it into the casing from the back at the cover lens step. The step lip of the cover lens is bonded using either AB mixed adhesive or double-sided tape. This technique ensures a slim design and delivers a seamless, polished appearance.

  • Flat Frame Bonding from Casing Back

    The laminated display module is frame-bonded onto the casing from the back.

Rear Adhesive Bonding (Most Common)

In this commonly used assembly approach, the fully laminated display module - including the display panel and cover lens - is mounted into the product’s casing from the front (top side). The module is fixed in place using a frame of double-sided adhesive tape or AB mixed adhesive applied around the perimeter of the cover lens.

This method offers a balance between ease of assembly, structural integrity, and cost-efficiency, making it ideal for a wide range of consumer electronics and industrial devices.

Snap-Fit Mounting (Not Recommended)

The module is designed to snap into the casing without additional hardware. This approach simplifies assembly but requires precise design of the casing for secure fitting.

We strongly discourage the use of snap-fit mounting. This method requires the display cover to be manufactured through injection molding process, which increases much cost. Moreover, during the assembly of the final product, the display module must be pressed into the customer's casing using snap-fit clips. This pressing process can lead to stress-induced deformation of the cover, resulting in display damage or delamination of the full lamination between the display screen and the cover
