In a world where screens are everywhere – from self-service kiosks and smart homes to rugged industrial environments – clarity, durability, and performance are critical. And if you’ve ever struggled to read a screen in bright sunlight or watched a display fog up due to humidity, you’ve witnessed the exact problem that optical bonding aims to solve. So, what benefits does optical bonding offer, and why do people around the world recognize faytech as a leader in this field? Let’s dive in.
What Is Optical Bonding?
Optical bonding is a manufacturing process that eliminates the air gap between a device’s cover glass or touch panel and its underlying LCD. The process fills the space with a transparent adhesive – a step that significantly improves both visual performance and durability.
The result? Displays that are easier to read, stronger against impacts, and far more reliable in harsh conditions.
The Real-World Benefits of Optical Bonding
The advantages and benefits of optical bonding go far beyond lab specs – they have a real impact on usability and product longevity.
One of the biggest benefits is the reduction in reflection and glare. By removing the air layer between the screen components, faytech’s optical bonding process reduces reflection by up to 65%. That’s a game-changer for displays used outdoors or in brightly lit environments.
Another key advantage is increased brightness. Optical bonding can boost effective brightness by approximately 10%, which makes screens clearer without needing to crank up the backlight – saving both energy and heat.
But that’s just the beginning. With no air gap for moisture or dust to settle into, these displays are also better protected against humidity and contamination – perfect for industrial, marine, or medical use. And thanks to the enhanced structural integrity, impact resistance improves by around 20%, making bonded screens tougher and longer-lasting.
Why Choose faytech for Optical Bonding?
Here’s where faytech sets itself apart. As the #1 global provider of large-format optical bonding services, faytech doesn’t just use off-the-shelf solutions – it innovates in-house.
Our custom-developed adhesive, CLEAR-BOND, is formulated specifically for optical bonding applications. Produced under strict quality controls in China, this silicone-based adhesive offers industry-leading clarity, stability, and resistance to yellowing over time. Unlike acrylic alternatives, which are rigid and prone to shrinkage, CLEAR-BOND is flexible and stable across a wide temperature range.
Our ISO-certified factory in Huizhou also uses this process, where the company operates a fully automated large-format bonding line in a cleanroom environment. This setup supports production of over 500 bonded units per day, across screen sizes from 7″ to over 86″.

Tailored Formulas for Unique Needs
Not all applications are created equal, and we understands that. In addition to the flagship X6-1688 CLEAR-BOND formula, faytech also offers:
- XA-1688 – a softer, more flexible variant
- T50-1688 – engineered for extreme environments ranging from -50°C to +110°C
These options give customers more flexibility, and because faytech controls its own glue production, they can even tweak viscosity, hardness, or curing speed based on specific needs.
Versatility Across Industries
A wide range of industries use faytech’s optical bonding technology because of its reliability and performance:
- Retail and POS displays
- Outdoor digital signage
- Automotive dashboards
- Medical devices
- Industrial control panels
- Marine displays
- Smart building interfaces
- Transportation hubs
- Banking terminals and ATMs
Whenever industries demand high performance and visibility, faytech delivers bonded displays that outperform expectations.
A Better Choice Than Acrylic Bonding
It’s also worth mentioning that silicone-based bonding like CLEAR-BOND has several key advantages over traditional acrylic-based adhesives:
- Silicone cures automatically without UV exposure
- It has a very low shrinkage rate (<0.1%)
- The hardness can be adjusted by varying the mix ratio
- It resists yellowing and remains stable at extreme temperatures
Acrylics, on the other hand, cure only where UV light hits them, shrink significantly during the process, and are much less flexible – not ideal for demanding environments.
Why faytech Is a Market Leader
With a global footprint, over 600 employees, and manufacturing hubs across China, Germany, the USA, and more, faytech combines German engineering with high-volume production capabilities. Since joining the Pyramid AG Group in 2022, the company has doubled down on innovation – delivering not only superior hardware, but also in-house glue, bonding machinery, and production systems that support partners around the world.
Whether you’re a manufacturer looking to integrate bonded displays into your devices, or a business seeking reliable touchscreen solutions, faytech offers the experience, scale, and quality control others simply can’t match.
