LCD display is a very common display technology in modern electronic equipment. It is characterized by high definition, large viewing angle and low power consumption, and has become an indispensable part of modern electronic equipment. In the manufacture of LCD display screens, the panel material is one of the keys to determine its quality. Different panel materials will affect the display effect, scratch resistance, heat distortion temperature, reliability and cost, etc. Therefore, in the design and manufacture of LCD, it is very important to choose a suitable panel material.

 

At present, due to the excellent image quality and low cost advantages of LCD displays, their panel materials mainly use the materials involved in the research of liquid crystal physics, which mainly include the following:

 

1. Laminated glass (AS film)
Laminated glass is one of the panel materials currently used in most LCD displays. Its main advantages are anti-shock and anti-fatigue, able to protect the LCD panel, and has very high scratch-resistant hardness and anti-wear performance, which effectively prolongs the life of the LCD display. Laminated glass can also be used to prevent cracks or damage to LCD panels due to external forces or collisions during transportation or use, thereby ensuring the quality and reliability of LCD products.

2. Anti-scratch hardness glass
Scratch-resistant hardness glass is a kind of high-hardness glass material, which is mainly used in advanced LCD products. The hardness of scratch-resistant glass reaches 7 to 8, which is nearly 10 times harder than ordinary steel. This kind of glass material not only has high light transmittance and optical performance, but also can avoid the influence of scratches on the display effect, and avoid problems such as cracks caused by external forces.

3. Flexible materials
Flexible materials are also called flexible displays, which are based on elastic materials such as fiber materials. The material could be used in the manufacture of LCD screens or foldable screens, such as bendable cell phone screens. Flexible materials can allow LDC screens to have characteristics such as bending and deformation, while reducing weight, improving reliability and durability.

4. Polymer/plastic material
Polymer materials or plastic materials are widely used in the production of panel materials for LCDs due to their light weight, transparency and ease of processing. Polymer/plastic materials have low cost, can be mass-produced, have good engineering performance and reliability. These materials are often used in smaller LCD products such as mobile phones or portable game consoles.

 

In short, when selecting the panel material of the LCD display, it is necessary to comprehensively consider its light transmission performance, reliability, scratch resistance hardness, scratch resistance, deformation temperature and cost. In this way, the most suitable panel material for different purposes and occasions can be selected, providing a good guarantee for high-quality LCD displays.
