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.

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 ...

What Exactly Is the Difference Between IP66 and IP67?

What is IP67 and what is the difference between it and IP66? This is probably the question that JRPanel engineers have been asked most often recently. On the online pricing page of JRPanel's website, a new option appears in the Rear Adhesive section: 3M300LSE & Waterproof ( IP67 ). In fact, this is a waterproof process recently upgraded by the JRPanel factory. This process can bring more possibilities to your products, and it also marks that JRPanel's products have reached a new level. So what is the difference between IP67 and the previous IP66 process ? In this article, we will explain in detail. In the previous article Criteria for the Classification Ratings of Ingress Protection , we introduced that the ingress protection rating is composed of two digits. The first digit represents the level of the electrical appliance's ability to prevent intrusion of foreign objects, and the second digit ...

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...
