Design Suggestions of Membrane Switch Panel Display Windows


When designing a membrane switch panel, we usually need to decide whether to design a window based on whether the machine uses LED or LCD. Today we will talk about some design suggestions for this process.

 

What is a membrane switch window?

 

The membrane switch window is a transparent or semi-transparent area on the panel for the user to observe the display of the LED or LCD behind the panel.

 

The options of the membrane switch window are as follows:

 

1. Transparent window: a transparent area without any color.

2. Filter window: The area printed with translucent ink, usually red, green or yellow, in order to distinguish the color of light-emitting diodes.

3. Opaque window: The area printed with multiple background colors. Unless the indicator light on the back is illuminated, they are invisible. It is used for indicating legends and graphics.

4. Printed window: The bottom of the window is relatively rough, and the surface is printed with special ink to form a transparent area for the display of light-emitting diodes or liquid crystal displays.

 

What are the advantages of these kinds of windows?

 

1. In high-brightness environments, the use of various coatings and forms of windows can enhance the clarity of the display.

2. The use of this window avoids cutting holes on the panel, so as not to affect the appearance and packaging of the panel.

3. The rough surface can facilitate the diffuse reflection of the LED and increase visibility.

 

What factors need to be considered?

 

1. Because of the increase in printed coatings, the use of printed windows usually increases the cost of the panel.

2. The window that displays the LCD should be a clear, non-reflective or relatively smooth window.

3. The window displaying the LED should be a clear or filtered window, and this window should be non-reflective.

4. The display should be placed behind the window, close to the window to increase clarity.

5. The special window coating should have anti-scratch properties.

How to Read Circuit Diagrams for Beginners

     👉 https://www.jrpanel.com/R This articles shows how to read circuit diagrams for beginners in electronics. Learn to read electrical and electronic circuit diagrams or schematics. A drawing of an electrical or electronic circuit is known as a circuit diagram, but can also be called a schematic diagram, or just schematic. Circuit or schematic diagrams consist of symbols representing physical components and lines representing wires or electrical conductors. In order to learn how to read a circuit diagram, it is necessary to learn what the schematic symbol of a component looks like. It is also necessary to understand how the components are connected together in the circuit. Battery and Light Bulb Circuit Probably the simplest circuit that can be drawn is one that you may have seen in a school science class: a battery connected to a light bulb as shown below.

What Are the Factors That Affect the Cost of a Membrane Switch?

  "How much does it cost to make a membrane switch? ”  It ’ s a common question we get from customers (and likely one you ’ re pondering if you ’ re reading this article). Unfortunately, the short answer is … it depends.   Since membrane switches are custom-made and include so many variables, it ’ s not feasible to provide a clear-cut estimate without first reviewing the specifications and discussing a few areas. However, based on our experience, three main factors impact the cost of manufacturing a membrane switch.   1.  Circuit design   The printed circuit is the most expensive layer of a membrane switch. Material choices and design (such as the number of traces) can significantly impact the unit ’ s cost. High-quality membrane switches typically use conductive silver ink, which provides the highest conductivity. Depending on application and budget requirements, lower-conductive inks such as carbon, copper, and alloys can be used.   2.   Number of layers and optional features

The Importance of Predictability for High-end PCB Manufacturing

  If there is a way to ensure that the product is reliable, it is to ensure the predictability of its PCB, which is an important part of the product. In fact, PCB is the core component in almost all electronic products (from phones to computer systems) today. From automobiles to national defense, from aviation to technology, PCBs are ubiquitous in any industry. In all these industries, product reliability is of paramount importance. Whether it is medical technology or aviation technology, any mistake can cause huge losses. Similarly, in the medical field, equipment failure can have terrible consequences, leading to loss of life. This requires rewriting the traditional predictability method. Traditional predictability methods are usually based on  physical inspection .  However, physical inspection has inherent disadvantages, that is, only external defects can be inspected. Another problem faced by physical inspection is that when the PCB is complex and has countless vias, microsectioni
