αGEL Products Silicone OCA

A silicone Optical Clear Adhesive (OCA) that fills air gaps between components in LCD displays, improving brightness and contrast. It is highly resistant to yellowing and shows excellent long-term performance. We sell Silicone OCA in sheets, making it both easy to handle and highly reworkable.

Characteristics
Made of high-grade silicone, this OCA boasts superior physical properties, providing stable performance.
Silicone OCA shows minimal yellowing when exposed to heat and UV radiation. It has low temperature dependence, allowing Silicone OCA to thrive at a wide range of temperatures.
Silicone OCA retains elasticity and reduces stress on display components. This contributes to a more uniform displayed image and improved shock resistance.
Displays can be reworked after bonding with Silicone OCA, improving yields and reducing cost.
Silicone OCA is available in thicknesses between 0.175 mm and 1.8 mm.
The maximum width of Silicone OCA is by 1,280mm. It is suitable for large scale display.
Application Example
Inserting Silicone OCA between an LCD unit and the cover lens has many benefits, such as improved shock resistance, stress mitigation, increased contrast, reduced parallax, and improved luminance.
