3 Special Crafts in Membrane Switch Manufacturing -- Light Color Background

 In last week, we have explained you the second special crafts in Membrane Switch Manufacturing -- Glossy Window with Matte Surface. The special process we are going to introduce today is probably the most special one, which you may never have heard of. JRPanel named it Light Color Background.

 

DEFNITION OF LIGHT COLOR BACKGROUND

 

As the name implies, the background here refers to the background of the graphic layer of the membrane switch product. So what kind of color is considered as light color? Let's take a look at this color comparison image.


 


Four colors are shown in this image: 20% Gray, 10% Gray, 5% Gray and White. In JRPanel, if the background color is lighter than 20% Gray, then it meets the definition of a light background.

 

LIGHT COLOR BACKGROUND PROCESS

 

For the light backgrounds mentioned above, JRPanel will always take a second printing. At the JRPanel factory, screen printing is done in layers, and the background color is usually printed first. During the first printing of the light background, our engineers found that the panel also had some light transmission. If the panel is mounted on an LED or LCD at this time, we will find that some of the light will penetrate the light colored panel, causing the entire panel to " shine".

 

However, JRPanel's engineers found that such problems would be effectively solved if the panel was printed again at this point. The second printing would be a more complete coating of the substrate. At this point, the entire panel is no longer translucent, although the color is still light. Since the background color is full enough, when all the colors are printed, the visual effect of the whole panel will be surprising.

 

Now JRPanel has explained all the 3 special crafts in Membrane Switch Manufacturing to you. In the future, we will continue to bring you knowledge about membrane switches in the future. Welcome to follow us!

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 ...

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches JRPanel         Erin KOU      JAN 14, 2020 The most economical and reliable design is the non-tactile membrane switch . Non- tactile membrane switch is flat and has no tactile feedback.  However, this design relies on other methods of identifying a feedback or that a connection is made.  These include indicator LEDs (visual), LCD screen (visual), or a sound(audible). In other words, an LED light can blink or a beeping sound can be heard when a button is pressed. This type of non-tactile membrane switch has the longest life cycle and reliability. The other type of membrane switch is the tactile membrane switch. Tactile membrane switch is very popular because it provides a direct feedback to users that a connection is made.  One way to design a tactile membrane switch is to dome emboss the keys on the graphic overlay. Although it is a little bit more cost that...

The Difference Between PVC, PC and PET in Membrane Switch Applications

  In membrane switch fileds, there are 3 main materials being used in production, PVC, PC and PET. To help you choose the proper material for your product, we would like to introduce you the difference between PVC, PC and PET in membrane switch applications.   1. PVC    PVC  is also called polyvinyl chloride membrane, the full name is Polyvinylchlorid membrane. The top layer of this structure is lacquer, the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is back-coated adhesive. The price of PVC membrane is low, and it has excellent chemical resistance and insulation function. It is used in sign panels, but not suitable for membrane switches and light touch panels. The global usage of PVC membrane ranks second among various synthetic materials.   2. PC    PC is also called polycarbonate membrane, the thinnest is 0.01mm thick, amorphous, odorless, non-toxic, high transparency and low fogging. Chemical resistance: Dilute acid...
