Optically Clear Adhesives

04/01/2000

ARclear adhesives are optically clear pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) technologies for the display-screen industry. Assembly of touch screens and FPDs require a number of component surfaces to be bonded in a secure manner without compromising display resolution and functionality. These adhesives are said to offer defect-free technology that does not require curing, which is an alternative to liquid adhesives. They come in either transfer-adhesive or custom-coated film format. FPD-bonding applications include polarizers, light and color filters, back lighting, reflective materials, and surface-treatment films.
