Optical Bonding, which involves bonding a cover glass or touch screen to an LCD cell, enables us to laminate all kinds of cover glasses. We can eliminate air gaps by inserting an adhesive, such as silicone gel, epoxy or urethane between the cover glass and the LCD.

Here at N&S, we use our VacuBond® process to achieve the best results, inserting a high-quality Opto a-Gel between the cover glass / touch screen and LCD.

How does the VacuBond® optical bonding process work?

Using the VacuBond®, various components are bonded together with the high-performance silicone Opto a-Gel in a clean room. The optical bonding fills the air gaps between the individual components and reduces the reflection of light on the surfaces by 99 percent! So the readability of our TFT displays is excellent, with perfect contrast and colour brilliance.

The displays also maintain this visibility and quality even when being used outdoors and in bright light.

Why VacuBond®?

In this modern age, more and more manufacturers provide TFT displays with an integrated PCAP touch screen as standard. However, in many cases a special/custom front glass is needed for better protection or an improved design.

Our VacuBond optical bonding process provides an excellent solution and, following our recent install of two larger machines this year we can now bond TFT displays up to a size of 32”.

We can provide touch displays and custom protective glasses as required and optical bonding with zero optical defect production.

What are the benefits of Optical Bonding/VacuBond®?

  • Increased vibration and shock resistance
  • Increased Contrast
  • No condensation or fogging
  • Zero contamination (of dust and dirt)
  • Improved heat dissipation (heat can dissipate through the front glass)


What can be optically bonded using the VacuBond®process?

  • TFT displays up to a maximum size of 32”
  • Cover glasses onto TFT displays with integrated PCAP touch
  • PMMA/Acrylic glass
  • All types of touch screens and/or protective glass
  • The rear of the TFT cell to eliminate free air spaces
  • Direct bonding into your housing/bezel
  • Modern TFT displays without solid frame/housing
