Résumé : |
Touch operation of devices was introduced on the smartphone, transferred to the automobile, and has also established itself for household appliances in the meantime. Specific plastic compounds offer precisely adjustable properties for seamless surfaces, including control elements and fade effects. |
Note de contenu : |
- A user interface has to combine function and design
- Reflective and light blocking plastics for light wells and reflectors
- Light diffusing compounds for homogenous illumination
- High-quality surfaces in piano lacquer look
- Fig. 1 : A classic 7-segment washing machine display. Highly reflective and opaque plastic compounds are needed for the background of the assembly
- Fig. 2 : Alcom LB Light Blocking compounds for light wells and 7-segment displays - mode of action. A highly reflective and simultaneously light blocking material ensures that the individual segments are sharply defined
- Fig. 3 : A look at the back of the 7-segment display reveals the reflector. It prevents light from one segment from shining through into an adjacent segment
- Fig. 4 : An electronics housing with integrated reflectors for a Verocup coffee machine manufactured by Bosch. An ABS compound, Alcom AWL 109/15 WT1217-11LB, is used
- Fig. 5 : Touch control element on a coffee machine. Polycarbonate compounds are used when a higher thermal resistance is required, for example on stove displays or cooktops
- Fig. 6 : In contrast to the ponctual LED light source, backlit displays and control elements demand a homogenous appearance regardless of the view angle. Special light scattering additives in the compound ensure even light distribution
- Fig. 7 : Symbols backlit in color and a very sharp contrast between light and dark in combination with a piano lacquer look are possible with Alcom LDDC |
