Design and styling are key in product development and marketing today. From decorative design and logo branding to application-related icon prints, FCL Components' technology can be used for just about anything. It also brings a host of benefits to manufacturers, the biggest of which offers the opportunity to differentiate product designs. Device interface panels can make use of FCL Components' new innovation by printing complementing designs, product, or brand strategy.
FCL Components' light touch flush surface panels can also be customized with cut glass holes to accommodate other features and functionalities such as sensors and switches. On top of that, FCL Components' cover film tech is also able to support waterproof structures, offering the utmost versatility in design.
And those worried about the cover film limiting technical capabilities, the light touch flush surface panel is very stable in operation, with the capability to process flick and dual input actions as well as being suitable for use in automotive environments.
There is no longer a need to choose between touch panel shapes and dimensions. FCL Components is able to customize the panel shapes according to preference, for example, by manipulating them to cover rounded corners.
Lastly, FCL Components' light touch flush surface panels have been designed for various input methods including finger, pen, gloves and even artificial hands without requiring sensitivity tuning. The capabilities of FCL Components' ITO layer print technology are endless.
