Optical Bonding Technology – Clearer, Stronger, And More Reliable Industrial Displays
Optical bonding technology has become a key requirement for modern industrial, medical, transportation, and outdoor display solutions. As equipment becomes more intelligent and environments more challenging, companies need displays that offer excellent clarity, durability, and long-term stability. Optical bonding delivers all three by removing the air gap between the TFT panel and the cover glass or touchscreen, giving the display a major boost in optical and mechanical performance.
At FORTEC Egypt, we provide advanced optical bonding solutions through our partnership with FORTEC Integrated in Germany. Using the highly trusted VacuBond® optical bonding process, we deliver high-quality optically bonded displays designed to handle the demanding conditions found across the MENA region.
What Is Optical Bonding Technology?
Optical bonding fills the space between the display and its cover glass with a transparent adhesive, eliminating the air gap inside the screen. By doing so, it significantly improves how the display looks and how long it lasts.
Removing the air gap helps:
- Reduce reflections
- Increase brightness and contrast
- Improve outdoor readability
- Strengthening the entire display structure
- Prevent fogging and moisture buildup
The result is a stronger, clearer, and more reliable display.
Why Optical Bonding Makes a Difference
1. Superior Readability in Bright Light
Optically bonded displays greatly reduce glare and improve contrast, making them ideal for sunlight readable displays and outdoor display solutions. Whether used in transportation, smart city systems, or industrial control panels, they remain clear and visible under intense light.
2. More Strength and Better Durability
Since the cover glass is bonded directly to the TFT panel, the display becomes more resistant to shock, vibration, and impact. This is especially important for rugged industrial displays, factory automation systems, logistics equipment, and mobile devices that operate in harsh environments.
3. No Fogging or Condensation
Humidity and temperature changes often cause fogging inside standard displays. Optical bonding prevents this by creating a sealed, solid structure that keeps moisture out—ideal for outdoor, refrigerated, or high-humidity installations.
4. Better Touch Experience
Bonded touchscreens respond more accurately because there is no air gap between the touch layer and the display. The touch feels more direct and precise, which is essential for medical systems, industrial HMIs, and public kiosks.
5. Longer Display Lifespan
Optical bonding adds structural stability, reduces dust contamination, and minimizes stress on the display—extending its lifespan in long-term applications.
VacuBond® – FORTEC’s Premium Optical Bonding Process
Our VacuBond® optical bonding technology uses a vacuum-controlled process to apply high-quality silicone gel with perfect uniformity. This ensures:
