Our services at SKOUPAS include the manufacture of overlay facial panels with graphic membranes for electronic devices, which serve as the user interface that allows interaction with the device.
They are commonly used in applications such as home appliances, industrial equipment, medical devices, and consumer electronics. These panels provide a visual and tactile means for users to control and monitor the device’s functions.
Overlay facial panels feature printed graphics, symbols, labels, and indicators that help users understand the device’s features and functions. These graphics guide users on how to interact with the device effectively.
Depending on the design, these panels can incorporate touch-sensitive areas, physical buttons, or a combination of both.
Touch inputs can offer a sleek and modern appearance, while physical buttons can provide tactile feedback.
The choice of materials is essential for durability, safety and aesthetics.
Materials like polyester, polycarbonate, and acrylic are often used due to their resistance to wear, chemicals, and environmental factors.
High-quality printing techniques such as screen printing, and digital printing, are used to apply graphics onto the panel’s surface. These techniques ensure clear and durable visuals.
Some overlay panels incorporate backlighting to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
This can be achieved using LEDs placed behind the panel to illuminate the graphics.
The panel’s circuitry, whether touch-sensitive or button-based, is connected to the electronic components of the device.
This integration enables the user’s inputs to trigger specific actions or functions.
Manufacturers can create custom overlay panels tailored to the device’s design and branding.
This includes selecting colors, fonts, and layouts that align with the overall aesthetics.
Overlay facial panels must withstand various environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and exposure to moisture or chemicals.
Choosing appropriate materials and coatings helps ensure long-term reliability.
Precise assembly is crucial to ensure that buttons or touch-sensitive areas align accurately with the underlying circuitry.
Rigorous testing is performed to verify functionality and reliability.
