Gorilla Cover Lens Essential 0.7‑2.0mm Reliable Tempered Glass
Cover lens, also named cover cover lens or strengthened optical glass, role as outermost part of touchscreen to be a proctection layer.
They made from ultra thin flat glass under series of treatments like cutting, CNC, coatings, tempering, printing, tape etc. The cover glass isn’t only impact, scratch and dirt(oil, dust, grease etc.) but also increases the light trasmittance.
What’s Gorilla Cover Lens?
Display: The gorilla cover lens use Corning Gorilla Glass for customization to be used as outmost part for LCD, OLED, LED and other displays.
Touch screen: As a protective layer, high hardness and scratch resistance.
Solar cell: As a substrate or packaging material.
Optical component: Used for lenses, prisms, and other optical devices.
Electronic packaging: Used for encapsulating microelectronics and optoelectronic devices.
Gorilla Cover Lens Substrate
The gorilla cover lens substrates(after chemical toughened): Electronic grade.
The sodalime glass(Hardness 6H, cheaper), aluminum silica glass(Hardness 7-9H).
Different brands for free selection.
Gorilla Cover Lens Printing
The ink selection depends on different application scenarios.
Indoor purpose usually use common low temperature ink, it’s a low cost option, but not UV resistance.
Outdoor purpose usually use UV ink(good UV light absorb capability) or high temperature ink(ceramic ink) to avoid yellowiesh / peel off due to expose under the sun.
The UV ink(low temperature also) can peel off when use hardware like knife. But high temperature won’t peel off except hurt glass body.
The high temperature ink suitable for glass thickness more than 2mm(thermally tempered) but light can pass. Then another layer of low temperature ink should be applied behind it.
But UV ink(low temperature ink also) is more colorful, so they become more commonly option.
Gorilla Cover Lens Coatings
The cover lens regular use coatings including AR(Anti-reflective), AF(Anti-fingerprint) and AG(Anti-glare).
AR coating: The regular thin glass transmittance is 90% above, single side of glass apply AR coating can improve 3~4%, both sides will be 96% in total.
AF coating: It reference from lotus effect good at anti-fingerprint, anti scratch and easy clean usually for touch the screen purpose.
Meanwhile it usually apply behind AR coating to protective the layer.
There are 2 ways to make the AF coating, one for plating(longer life but cost higher) and another one for spray(cheaper option).
AG coating: It’s a kind of acid etching process to get the glass surface a little matt. The principle is through scatter the light to prevent light(like sunlight)reflect to the eye directly.
More often it applied in outdoor purpose like navigators.
Tape For Gorilla Cover Lens
For gorilla cover lens glass, most of customers require tape adhesion service. We could provide after receive the tape requirement(like brand, waterproof, shapes etc).
FAQ
A: It is customized Corning Gorilla Glass used as the outmost layer for LCD/OLED/LED displays. It also works for touch screens, solar cells, optical parts and electronic encapsulation with high hardness and scratch resistance.
A: Electronic grade chemically toughened substrates. Soda lime glass (6H, low cost) and aluminum silica glass (7-9H). Multiple brands are optional.
Q3: How to choose printing ink for indoor & outdoor use?
Q4: What are AR, AF and AG coatings?
A: Plated: AF has longer service life but higher cost.
