Why this blog exists

Our team publishes technical notes on PCAP behavior under real-world EMI, the optical performance of LOCA (Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive) bonding with WACKER silicone, and the engineering required to keep industrial HMIs readable, robust, and maintainable across temperature swings and decades of service. We believe that by sharing our data on refractive index matching and our 8-stage sealing process, our team helps hardware engineers move from abstract specifications to a validated, field-loaded touch and optics architecture.

Need a display stack reviewed for your environment?

Our team provides direct technical consultation to ensure your LOCA stack-up is optimized for its specific deployment conditions.
