Optical Bonding Silicones for Automotive Displays

Momentive's Optical Bonding Silicones for Automotive Displays

High quality displays are in ever-increasing demand. Users today spend significant amounts of time with electronic devices under many different conditions. Devices have to function whether they're in your hand or in your vehicle. At a time when having information translates into competitiveness, high-quality displays that enhance the user's experience are critical.

Optical Bonding Applications

Momentive optical bonding solutions offer potential protection against high and low temperatures, as well as vibration and shock resistant seals. They also can help protect displays from condensation in humid environments, and also reduce reflections and enhances readability in bright light. 

Potential applications in vehicles:

  1. Instrument panel
  2. Navigation screens and in-dash entertainment systems
  3. Rear-view mirrors
  4. Seat-back and flip-down video screens

Process Solutions: Optical Bonding Silicones for Large, Curved Form-Factor Displays

Momentive can help solve the challenge of free shape large, curved displays (for example, automotive displays), both rectangular and non-rectangular. Our optical bonding materials and process innovations can help accommodate displays of various curvatures and shapes, as well as coatings of uniform or non-uniform thickness, thus helping achieve high throughput or enabling automation. This can help solve the often difficult challenge of bonding free-shape designs. The process can accommodate both rectangular and non-rectangular shapes, as well as displays of various curvatures and coatings of uniform or non-uniform thickness.

INVISISIL UV Cure Silicone

One-part silicones that cure rapidly with UV light to help decrease cycle times in bonding operations. They main flexible after curing to help protect against thermal shock and impact. They feature high light transmittance and reduced surface glare that can result in displays and touch-screen units that are more easily readable in sunlight or bright indoor light. INVISISIL UV Cure silicones are ideal for bonding outer layers to touch sensors in LCD touchscreen displays.

Featured Products:

  • OP2131SD UV-Cure Optical Bonding Silicone
  • OP2831D UV-Cure Optical Bonding Silicone (DAM)

INVISISIL Thermal Cure Silicones

Two-part, transparent gels that can cure with low heat—as low as 60°C (140°F) — in as little as 30 minutes even shadowed areas. High elongation properties allow them to be stretched and pulled yet retain their shape and resist tearing. With excellent optical properties that help provide high light transmission, INVISISIL Thermal Cure silicones can help protect displays and touch screens from moisture and chemical agents in harsh environments while preserving clarity.
