Optically Clear Adhesive Tapes

ARclear® optically clear adhesives (OCAs) enable virtually invisible bonding in modern devices, preserving crystal-clear display quality. These specialized adhesive tapes laminate glass, plastics, and other optical components without clouding or distortion, as illustrated by the fully transparent smartphone concept above. By eliminating air gaps and reducing internal reflections, ARclear® adhesives improve screen brightness and contrast while maintaining high resolution and touch sensitivity. Once applied, the adhesive layer is practically undetectable, ensuring that icons and graphics remain sharp and true to color through bonded layers.

Benefits

Non-Birefringent
ARclear® OCA tapes have consistent optical properties across viewing angles so image quality is uniform and no color distortions in high resolution displays.
Low Haze
These adhesives have very low light scattering so image is sharp and clear which is important for touchscreens and displays.
High Clarity
With high transparency ARclear® OCA tapes have vivid color reproduction and sharp images so user experience is great in smartphones and tablets.
Facilitates High Light Transmission
By enabling efficient light passage, these adhesives reduce the need for additional backlighting, contributing to energy savings and improved display brightness.

Application

Display and Touchscreen Assembly
Used for bonding flexible-to-flexible and flexible-to-rigid optical layers in flat panel displays, touch screens, and flat screen CRTs. Maintains optical clarity and uniform adhesion across interfaces.
Light Management Layer Integration
Ideal for assembling light-guiding and filtering components such as backlight units, polarizers, diffusers, filters, anti-reflective (A/R) films, and holographic optical elements in display stacks.
Flame-Resistant Optical Bonding
Incorporated into touch screens used in aerospace, medical, and other regulated industries to reduce flammability risk while delivering durable, transparent adhesion with a low refractive index.
Optical Film Base and Surface Protection
Single-coated optical-grade films serve as stable substrates for optical component construction, sputter coating, or as top layers offering resistance to abrasion and chemical exposure.
