Touch Screen Fitting

The touch screen sensor glass and the TFT LCD are two separate components that communicate with each other through the host computer. 


In most cases, the standard process involves the customer purchasing the touch glass and the panel as individual items and completing the integration in-house. 

Integrating touch screens in-house can present several challenges. At FORTEC Egypt, we eliminate these risks by handling the entire process in our dedicated clean room facility. 


We take ownership of any damage during assembly

Assembly can often lead to damage of the sensor touch glass or the TFT LCD. With years of experience fitting tens of thousands of touch screens, FORTEC Egypt takes on this risk, ensuring careful and professional installation. 

FORTEC Egypt has many years of experience in touch screen installation and fitting tens of thousands of touchscreen and also takes on this risk. 

We take ownership of the positioning

Misalignment during assembly may require disassembly and reassembly—both of which carry a high risk of damaging the components. 

FORTEC Egypt assumes this risk, drawing on years of expertise in touch screen installation and precision fitting.

We have the correct equipment

Without the proper equipment or machinery, there is a significant risk of contamination in the gap between the touch sensor and the TFT LCD.

FORTEC Egypt prevents this by using flow cabinets and a clean room facility to maintain a dust- and particle-free assembly environment.

Easier after-sales support

If a warranty issue arises with a key component, most suppliers require the unit to be disassembled before it can be returned under an RMA.

At FORTEC Egypt, we deliver the unit as one fully assembled product. If a failure occurs, we take back the entire unit and handle the repair or replacement under warranty—making the process simpler and more efficient for our customers.

FORTEC Egypt options for touch screen fitting

Strip Bonding 

In this method, strips of double-sided gasket are applied to the bezel of the display, creating a secure frame. The touch screen is then precisely aligned and positioned onto the display, resulting in a final assembly that is easy for the customer to integrate.

Depending on the application and budget, we offer two gasket options. For standard requirements, we use roll gasket applied in straight strips with joined corners. For high-end applications, we provide die-cut double-sided sheet gaskets, delivering a seamless, clean-edged border.


Other Bonding 

We have also developed extensive expertise in working with glass and optical filters, including the successful bonding of both ITO and EMC mesh filter glass.

We offer expert guidance on selecting the right type of glass, including Gorilla (Xensation) glass, a range of thicknesses, and appropriate toughening methods—whether thermal or chemical. We also provide advice on surface treatments such as anti-glare (AG) and anti-reflective (AR) coatings, along with printing options using either organic or ceramic inks.

Optical Bonding 

Optical Bonding  is the process of applying a silicone layer between the TFT LCD and the touch glass, eliminating the air gap. This improves daylight readability, enhances durability, and prevents issues such as ‘fogging’.
Unlike most display distributors, FORTEC Egypt has established dedicated optical bonding clean room facilities at both our Munich headquarters and our USA location.

Having these facilities enables us to maintain full quality control, reduce costly freight charges from the Far East, and support rapid prototyping with greater efficiency.

The optical bonding facility also accepts projects where the display, the touch component, or both are customer-supplied (free issued).
