High-performance OCA for strength and clarity

Creating solutions that are built to last

Innovation is driving up the quality standards in automotive manufacturing, and one area in particular that has taken big strides forward is the design of human-machine interfaces (HMI). Many of today’s HMIs are fully interactive and have touch screen capabilities, so they need to stay in good condition for the lifetime of the vehicle. Our high-performance optically clear adhesive (OCA) plays a key role in assembling displays and delivering that longevity.

Setting the standards in excellence

Our OCA products perform key functions vital for automotive display:

Protection from the impact of UV light
Maintain very high light transmission levels
Reduce reflection
Improve shock absorption.

Our expertise in functional tapes also allows us to address three of the key challenges areas that manufacturers have, which we explain in full in the following videos.

Let’s get technical

In the following blogs we take a closer look at two of the key considerations when creating HMI displays in the automotive sector – UV protection for OLED displays, and the prevention of yellowing in display components. Read on to discover how we mastered both.

OCA and UV block

UV light has the power to damage and discolor automotive displays, but our OCA can help filter UV light, and in turn dramatically increase the life of an OLED display.

OCA and yellowing prevention

One of the most common causes of plastic yellowing is UV light exposure. Through extensive testing, we have developed a solution to ensure the OCA and display last longer without yellowing.

At tesa, we work with many major manufacturers the world over, helping them shape the future of HMI in the automotive sector. So, if you are looking for a global partner who can support you with reliable, cost-effective, and contemporary products, we have the proven track record of success.

Whether it’s a traditional flat display, a large curved display, a head-up display, or a smart surface, you can count on our adhesive tape solutions and reliable and efficient production processes. Be creative, be innovative, because with tesa anything is possible.
