Structure Design
User interface products structure design refers to the planning and design activities of the possible components and construction methods during the product design process. The purpose of structural design is to determine the overall structure of a user interface module product and define the relationships between the various components of the module, while considering the matching with the client's host device, in order to achieve the functional and performance requirements of the user interface module.
Electronics Design
LuphiTouch® has strong electronics engineering team which can provide the electronics design service for our clients’ user interface projects. The clients just need give us their wanted function and features, then our experienced engineers will develop the circuit diagram as per them and then make circuit drawings like Gerber file. After that our engineers will also select components to make BOM list accordingly. Below are the details of our electronics design service for your user interface module projects:
Contract Manufacturing
Contract manufacturing(CM) is the practice of outsourcing the product or component to a third-party manufacturer. This contract manufacturer can be inshore or offshore. This can make clients to focus on their core competencies while taking advantage of the expertise and resources of the contract manufacturers. LuphiTouch® is just a such kind of company in user interface area. We can provide the contract manufacturing services for our clients’ user interface products or modules.
MCU Development
If you are developing electronic products, then you can’t do without one particular electronic component, and that is the microcontroller. This is because it serves as the central nervous system of the product, and it is necessary to use it as the main control chip. Additionally, you need to develop a control program to enable the microcontroller to function as a controller.
Molding & Prototyping
After the product structure diagram and functional circuit diagram design are completed, the mold and prototype manufacturing stage begins. First, the mold is fabricated. Depending on the design, the user interface module products often require the following molds: silicone hot-pressing mold, plastic injection mold, IMD mold, PCB manufacturing mold, test fixture, embossing mold, appearance stamping mold, screen printing screen, printing film, metal stamping mold, and functional test fixtures.
Backlighting Solution
Backlighting solutions are crucial for enhancing the visibility and usability of membrane switch display windows and other user interface components, especially in low-light environments. The common backlighting technologies for membrane switches include LED backlighting, El lamp backlighting, fiber backlighting and LGF backlighting.
IC Programming&Function Testing
IC programming refers to the process of programming integrated circuits (ICs) such as microcontrollers and FPGAs. LuphiTouch® has extensive experience in software programming and functional testing, with a team of experienced programmers and testers proficient in various programming languages and software development tools. They use advanced equipment and technology for functional testing to ensure that the final user interface products meet customer expectations and industry standards.
OCA Full Lamination
Membrane switches are widely used in various industries due to their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and design flexibility. One of the advanced techniques used in the production of high-quality membrane switch display windows is OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) full lamination. This method ensures optimal clarity and durability of the display, enhancing the overall user experience. Here’s a detailed overview of the process and its benefits:
In-Mold Decoration (IMD)
In-mold Decoration (IMD) is a manufacturing process that allows for the integration of decorative elements directly into the surface of a molded plastic part during the molding process. This technology combines the advantages of traditional printing techniques with the efficiency and precision of injection molding.
User Interface Modules
HMI module is a complete man-machine interface switch panel electronic component composed of hardware and software.
Products-Printed Circuit Boards
Printed circuit board is a very common and important part in human daily used electrical and electronic products. It is the provider for the connection of electronic components.By its rigid and or flex features, the printed circuit boards can be divided into rigid circuit boards which we usually called it as PCB and flexible circuit board which we usually called as FPC. Expect for the PCB and FPC, there are another three kinds of circuit boards too. They are rigid-flex circuit board, silver printed polyester circuit film(PCF) and ITO etched circuit film(ITOCF).
Printed Circuit Board Assembly Definition
The printed circuit board is just a kind of bare board which couldn't perform any function. Only after assembled all designed components, then the circuit board just has function. To assemble components to bare circuit board is just the circuit board assembly. It can be devided into PCB assembly, FPC assembly and PET assembly by the difference of the bare boards.
Membrane Switches
Membrane switch is a kind of subassembly consists of graphic printed top overlay, adhesive spacers, dome layer, circuit layer and rear adhesive, which has the switch function.
Capacitive Switches Introduction
Capacitive switch is a kind of widely used interface touch control switch, which uses the electric field induction principle of human body to work, and is mainly used to replace the traditional mechanical switch. For example, capacitive touch switches from manufacturers like LuphiTouch, with integrated high-resolution touch detection.
