3 Special Crafts in Membrane Switch Manufacturing -- Glossy Window with Matte Surface

In our last blog, JRPanel introduces one special craft in membrane switch manufacturing -- ESD Layer Installation, which can prevent ESD from damaging your membrane switches. In this blog, JRPanel brings you another special craft -- Glossy Window with Matte Surface.

WHAT IS “GLOSSY WINDOW WITH MATTE SURFACE” ?

Generally speaking, there are 2 kinds of the surface finish of membrane switch for people to choose: glossy finish and matte finish. Those who choose a glossy finish are usually looking for its soft surface feel and uniform color; while those who choose matte surface value the anti-scratch and wear-resistant characteristics of the product. JRPanel procures the following four types of genuine substrates on a long-term basis to meet the surface finish needs of membrane switch products: PET Matte / PET Glossy / PC Matte / PC Glossy.

But for some membrane switch products designed with display windows, the choice of surface effect may not be so simple. The membrane switch window is usually a transparent area on the panel for the user to observe the display of the LED or LCD behind the panel. This has led to a new type of surface finish, which we will introduce today: Glossy Window with Matte Surface, a surface finish that combines the good light transmission of the window with the outstanding wear resistance of the whole panel.

HOW DOES JRPANEL ACCOMPLISH THIS SPECIAL PROCESS?

Let's take look at a comparison picture first.

As it shows, the two finishes in the picture are both "matte", but visually they look different. The former uses a matte PET/PC substrate, while the latter uses a glossy PET/PC substrate, and the JRPanel factory applied a matte oil to the latter to achieve a matte finish.

By now, you may have guessed how JRPanel completed the "Glossy Window with Matte Surface".

Right, for this particular requirement, JRPanel will select a substrate that is itself glossy and apply a matte oil to the graphic layer for the area other than the display window.

MATTE OIL PRINTING NOTES

--After taking out the glossy material, we must print matte oil within 48 hours.

--The printing place should avoid direct sunlight. The UV light source should be placed separately from the printed material.

--The printing workshop should be kept clean and dust-free. Any pollution will lead to imperfect matte effect.

--Matte Oil should be thoroughly stirred before use.

--Printing thickness: 30-40 μm.

Follow the above notes and print correctly, the product will take on a "Glossy Window with Matte Surface" status ultimately.

Identify Different Types of Transformer Cores, Based on Materials

Hi guys, this is JRPanel ! In previous blog s, we have introduced several points about High Frequency Transformer, like bobbins and Flat Spiral Coil . In this blog, JRPanel would like to introduce the commonly used magnetic cores in transformers , based on materials. Generally speaking, the material of the core determines the environment in which the transformer is used. A transformer that uses a core of a different material will have its performance affected, may even be non-functional. By material, magnetic cores are generally divided into the several categories . JRPanel will introduce them one by one to help you understand more fully. 1. Manganese Zinc Ferrite Core Mn-Zn core is a soft magnetic core with high initial permeability (2000~15000). The higher the initial permeability, the lower the surface resistance, so it is generally used in circuits below 1 MHz. Mn-Zn core has a high saturation flux density and causes lower losses, making it one of the most desirable

The Relationship Between Plastic Nameplates and Membrane Switches

Before the 1970s, most nameplates were made of metal materials. Today, plastic nameplates have been widely used in household appliances, instruments, meters, office equipment and other fields, and have become an indispensable part of electromechanical products. It not only plays the role of trademark identification, specification model, function indication, etc., but also becomes an element that reflects the appearance of the product. With the continuous use of new materials and new processes, the surface of plastic nameplates is constantly improving, and it has become the crystallization of three major technologies: comprehensive surface treatment, processing and molding, and screen printing. Plastic nameplates can be divided into 2 types according to their material processing methods and objects of use: 1. The injection-type plastic nameplate is made of ABS, PC and other engineering injection molding, and then undergoes secondary surface decoration processing such

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 transformer is extraordinary. After understanding the main uses of transformer bobbins, JRPanel is to introduce its common classification methods. Fi
