The Use of Windotex in Membrane Switch/Panel Window

 In the membrane switch industry, we often need to cut some windows of different sizes, shapes and transparency on the panel material of the membrane switch for LCD or LED display. When screen printing these windows, there are many aspects that need to be paid attention to in material selection and usage. Today JRPanel will comprehensively and systematically explain its function, performance and precautions for use with Windotex, a product of AutoType.

 

When using Autotex PET material, we can screen print a variety of different color effects on the printing surface of the sheet. At the same time, we can also screen-print windows with different finishes on the surface of the sheet according to the different requirements of users for LCD, LED or other different purposes.

 

Windotex is specially designed for Autotex PET to produce different effects of display windows, which can fully meet the requirements of users. Below we will introduce the precautions during the use of Windotex.


Autotex PET material 


1. Windotex is a liquid that is specially designed for AutoType industrial product PET and can produce different display effects on its surface. It is screen-printed onto the panel material, and then dried in a UV oven. The resulting window is wear-resistant, scratch-resistant and chemical-resistant.

 

2. There are two products of Windotex:


Windotex Gloss - Gloss is greater than 80%;

Windotex Antiglare - Gloss is between 50%-75%.


At the same time, according to the different effects required, Windotex Gloss and Windotex Antiglare can be mixed in different proportions to achieve different effects between the two. The precise gloss depends on the conditions during the screen printing and drying process.

 

3. Printing Notes

 

The AutoType sand surface material Autotex must be printed with window liquid within 48 hours after being taken out of the package. If there are multiple color inks to be printed, Windotex printing is best done as the first or second process.

 

--Engineers of JRPanel concluded based on years of production experience: After Autotex was taken out of the package and exposed to the air for more than 48 hours, its absorption rate of Windotex began to decrease. Therefore, we must re-wrap the unused panel materials in piles to extend the absorption rate of Windotex as much as possible.

--The printing workshop should avoid direct sunlight.

--The printing workshop should be kept clean and dust-free.

--Before printing, we use an antistatic cloth to wipe the surface of the materials to ensure that the cleanliness.

--Printing thickness:15-20 μm.

--Do not pour unused window liquid back into the original tank.

--Windotex should be thoroughly stirred for more than 2 minutes before use.


4. Precautions for Solidification

 

--In order to prevent dust pollution, the window liquid should be solidified immediately after printing.

--When in the UV furnace, the printed window should not be placed on an uneven or hot surface, it is best to place it on a metal plate.

--Light source energy: 120W/cm


5. Once Windotex is printed on the panel according to normal operation and properly solidified, the final product will have a long service life.

Brief Introduction to Flat Spiral Coil Inductors

  Hi guys! Today JRPanel would like to share a few points about Flat Spiral Coil  Inductors  with you. Basically, a flat coil inductor is an inductor wound with flat copper wire.  The picture below is the side view, we can see that each circle of copper wire is arranged very compact. Here are some of the application characteristics of flat coils : 1.  High current inductance 2.  Lowest DC resistance           3.  Can ensure smooth drop of current-resistant inductance 4.  Suitable for reflow SMT process 5.  Lead-free, RoHS compliant This pciture shows a flat coil product.  It is generally used in power supplies, personal computers and other handheld  electronic devices . Advantages of  F lat  C oil  I nductors are : 1.  Scientific and reasonable space design. 2.  Tight and flat between turns ensures the effective cross-sectional area of the wire, which greatly reduces the copper loss ...

The Main Use and Classification Methods of Transformer Bobbins

  Hi guys, this blog is still about   high frequency transformers .   JRPanel   would like to introduce you the main use of transformer bobbins and how we classify them.   In the pictures are the transformer bobbins.        Following are the main uses of that JRPanel has summarized for you:   1. The bobbins provide space for winding copper wires in transformers.   2. Wire channel in the bobbins provides path for transformer winding.   3. The bobbins help to fix the core in the transformers.   4. The metal pins in the bobbins are connected to the  PCB  after soldering, which play an important role in conducting electricity when the transformer is working.   5. The baffle at the bottom of the bobbins isolates the core from the tin stack to avoid poor volta ge resistance.       From this it can be seen that the importance of bobbins in transf...

How Does JRPanel Assemble Your Membrane Switches

Let's talk about the assembly of membrane switches. 1.  Installing LED and baking   For products that require LEDs, JRPanel engineers will attach the LEDs to the corresponding circuits. The printed circuits are subsequently put into the oven for baking.   2.  Cutting Cable   Engineers will cut out the cables in bulk with a cutting die or laser cutting.   3.  Installing Male Pin   Before installing the Male Pin, the end of the Cable must be cut flat. Next, the Cable is placed under the machine and by pressure, the Male Pin is positioned and fixed at the end of the Cable. This step is to ensure the conductivity of the product.   4.  Silver Paste Die-pressing   Silver paste die-pressing is a heat embossing process on the circuit layer with a die. At JRPanel, the dies used for this process are all aluminum plates. Therefore, compared to metal domes, the die-pressing process results in the long service life of the keys.   5.  ...
