GRAPHIC OVERLAYS

CUSTOMIZED GRAPHIC OVERLAYS & MEMBRANE PANELS & HMI

As the user interface, the graphic overlay is the first thing to convey information and influence the user’s perception, acting as a “bridge” between man and machine.

The graphic overlay can be designed artistically, where the layout design of the keys, graphics, and text is crucial! Let your artistic interface come alive through digital printing and screen printing. WeGlow designers will design your artistic interface from a color and aesthetic perspective, making your product stand out in the market.

WHAT IS A GRAPHIC OVERLAY? WHERE ARE GRAPHIC OVERLAYS USED?

A graphic overlay, also known as a membrane panel, is a decorative surface product formed by screen printing or digital printing ink on the back of polyester or polycarbonate film. Graphic overlays can include embossed buttons and display windows to convey functional instructions and warning information. They can resist oil, chemicals, and other solvents. Durability and visibility are essential. With a well-designed overlay, it helps protect your product from water, dust, and contaminants.

The graphic overlay can be used independently as a user interface on the surface of various electronic and electrical devices, serving as the interface for human-computer interaction! It can also be integrated with printed flexible circuits, PCBs, copper flexible circuits (FPC), and silicone keyboards to form products such as membrane switches, silicone keyboard switches, capacitive switches, etc.

WHAT MATERIALS ARE USED FOR GRAPHIC OVERLAYS?

The materials for graphic overlays can be PET/PC/PMMA/etc., with thicknesses ranging from 0.1mm to 4mm. The back of the graphic overlay typically uses a double-sided adhesive for attachment to your product. We generally use adhesives from 3M. Of course, Japanese adhesives are also a good choice. If you’re not sure what material to use, please contact WeGlow experienced technical team immediately, and they can provide you with satisfactory solutions.

WHAT OPTIONS CAN BE ADDED TO GRAPHIC OVERLAYS?

Embossed buttons are usually made by pressing the texture of the buttons with a mold, also known as dome embossing. The shape can be round, square, ring-shaped, etc. In addition, embossed buttons can also include a braille option.

Surface treatment, matte texture is one of the effects often used in graphic overlays. In addition to this, WeGlow also provides plating, anti-glare, mirror and other surface effects. Of course, as a graphic overlay, functional options can also be added, such as: hardening treatment, antibacterial treatment, UV resistance, etc.

LCD Window – Graphic overlays typically use clear windows, semi-transparent colored windows, and light diffusing windows:

Clear windows convey the information of the LCD.
Semi-transparent colored windows can be made to have a hidden effect through semi-transparent inks; unless illuminated, they will blend with the color of the graphic panel.
Light diffusion can make the light in the window more uniform.
