Henkel Announces Launch of Liquid Optical Clear Bonding Technology

These innovative liquid optically clear adhesive products offer:

• Superior optical properties which improve the end-user viewing experience with increased contrast ratio by 400% in sunlight
• High durability which increases the display ruggedness by up to 3X
• Extending the battery life by reducing the light loss due to reflection, the end user can get a superior viewing experience with less power consumption which greatly extends the battery life.
• Overcome challenges typically faced with optically clear adhesive tapes & films
  • Improved processing with ability to fill various gaps and reduce the occurrence of bubbles at the ink step of the cover lens
  • Increased yield with early detection and reparability at pre-cure stage
  • Easy application on large panels, not possible with tapes & films
  • Capability to fully automate the assembly line using LOCAs is easier Vs tapes & films, which leads to increased productivity.

Due to the novel product capabilities, thinner and lighter display designs become more feasible - it allows manufacturing and design engineers of handheld devices and displays to explore innovative and new industry leading optical bonding solutions.

Henkel’s know-how in assembly process and partnerships in design and development of integrated equipment solutions will bring a new field of expertise to the handheld device and display industry.
