This is the display in our Managing Director’s truck. See the edge along the top-left? That’s liquid bonding adhesive leaking into the screen.

Optical bonding fills the air gap between the panel and the cover glass, but acrylic tape, liquid adhesive, and silicone gel don’t age the same way. Scott Makboulian explains why our VacuBond® process bonds with silicone OCA: no leaks, no yellowing, no curing time, a bond that can be reworked for repair, and displays up to 32 inches, all bonded in-house in Ronkonkoma, New York.

Designing a display assembly for sunlight, moisture, shock, or vibration? It’s worth a read: https://fortec.us/optical-bonding-material-silicone-oca/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=optical-bonding-material-silicone-oca

Fog isn't only a coastal problem. A hot day and a cold night at altitude can fog an unbonded display too.

Our Regional Sales Engineer, Jackie Hatfield, works with OEMs across the western US and western Canada, where one product line can face Arizona desert sun one week and a Montana winter the next. In her new article, she explains how those conditions shape every part of a display assembly, and why they're easiest to solve at the design stage, before anything is built.

ORTUSTECH end of life: Toppan is ending all of its LCD production, and the last-time buy for every display closes at the end of October.

Our latest news post lists the affected part numbers we carry, and every ORTUSTECH display is covered, whether it's on the list or not. If one is in a product you still build, send us the part number. We'll help size the last-time buy and find or engineer a replacement, so the product keeps shipping.

Everyone quotes TOPS when they talk about AI hardware. In a medical device, it's only the starting point.

Our Head of Product Development, Mike Pizzirusso, explains what really decides the choice: heat in a sealed enclosure, how long the parts stay available, and why the display, computer, and power supply should be designed together.

How to choose an edge AI computer for a medical device: what an NPU does, what TOPS figures mean, and why to specify display, compute and power together.

When it comes to industrial applications, an embedded PC can offer advantages that a standard consumer computer simply isn't designed to provide, from 24/7 operation and long-term availability to flexible connectivity and rugged performance.

Consumer PC or embedded PC? The right choice depends on the application.

The initial price of a display is only one piece of the puzzle. Integration challenges, poor visibility, environmental performance, short product lifecycles, and unexpected redesigns can all add to the true cost of a display over time.

One wrong component can lead to costly redesigns.
