7 Optimization Methods for Product Styling Design

JRPanel  has sorted out a series of styling design optimization strategies, hoping to help everyone think strategically in the innovative design stage. Product styling design optimization strateg ies: segmentation, cutting and stacking, bending and twisting, concave and convex treatment, spliting and connecting, folding, surface texture.  1. Segmentation A series of means to segment the form purposefully to achieve a certain functional effect. Segmentation includes the following three forms: functional segmentation, form segmentation, and compound segmentation. Function segmentation -the segmentation method to meet product production and practical functions; Formal segmentation -a segmentation method to satisfy the aesthetic system thinking of product modeling and color; Compound segmentation -a segmentation method that covers the above two effects. 2. Cutting and Stacking Cutting and stacking the shape to achieve a certain functional effect. 3. Bending and Twisting Bending an...

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...

The Necessity and Importance of Membrane Switches Prototype

  Today JRPanel would like to discuss with you about the necessity and importance of membrane switches  prototype .   Prototypes are an important basis for the quality control of JRPanel membrane switches and a tool for  communication  with customers. Its functions are mainly reflected in the following two aspects.   First , the prototype can help customers check the various information contained in the document so that they can be modified in time, such as fonts, patterns, colors, etc. Color is the most difficult to control in prototype, because different panel  materials  and ink thinness will cause the color of the prototype to change.   Second , the prototype can be used as a contract between the customer and the membrane switch factory. The contract prototypes should accurately provide the same color as the final membrane switch, and the contract prototypes should be printed out shortly before mass production to ...

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 n...

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 ...

3M Adhesive VS Ordinary Adhesive, Which One Has Stronger Viscosity?

  As we have introduced before, whether it is a  membrane switch ,  membrane key pad , or membrane panel, the bottom layer is a  adhesive   layer. This layer of adhesive will directly contact the product. Therefore, the quality of the adhesive also determines the quality of the membrane switch, panel, and key pad , as well as the quality of the product. This shows how important a high-quality adhesive is. A high-quality adhesive needs to have a strong viscosity, so that the membrane panel switch can be attached to the product for a long time to ensure its  service life . Today, we will show you the difference in viscosity between ordinary adhesive and high-quality adhesive.   Let ’ s take out the membrane panel with ordinary adhesive. Peel off the release paper and then we put it on the tilt table.     Take out a small steel ball and drop it from the highest point. Unfortunately, the ball failed to stop on the  adhesive , but rolled dire...

How to Effectively Prevent the Aging of LED Products?

JRPanel has long launched a membrane switch with   embedded LEDs . Although the LED power on the membrane switch is not large, how to effectively prevent its aging is also one of the issues that JRPanel continues to focus on.   Today, the engineers of JRPanel w ould like to   share a few points with you on this  problem.   LED  C onventional  A ging  T est  C omparison   Generally speaking, the luminosity of the LED will have a certain attenuation during the initial lighting stage. In order to provide stable luminous products to application manufacturers, or to obtain stable LED materials, LED packaging factories usually do some aging tests. Of course, there are many ways of LED aging test, such as conventional aging, overcurrent impact destructive test and so on.   LED manufacturers usually perform the following  aging  tests:   1. Multi-tube series aging test: constant voltage aging circuit and constant current agin...
