Durable materials create a vast array of durable designs An ideal choice for applications operating in harsh environments or where durability is important:
Answering the demand for lightweight, plastic materials suitable for use in PDAs, Gunze combines a Film-Film (F-F) touch panel with a plastic substrate. The electrodes are comprised of 0.1 - 0.2mm thick ITO coated film. These are adhered to a 1 - 2 mm thick plastic substrate.
Gunze adjusts the heat expansion coefficients of the polycarbonate material used in its touch panels, overcoming warping problems that can result when plastic is used instead of glass.
In addition to being lightweight and fracture resistant, polycarbonate can be shaped in any way imaginable, enabling design possibilities other than traditional rectangles or squares. Note: Maximum 6.4 diagonal
Gunze creates rugged touch panels by substituting the standard glass in Film-Glass panels with chemically strengthened glass. Chemically strengthened glass is twice as durable and impact resistant than standard glass.
