Custom 1.1mm & 2.0mm Ultra-Clear Tempered Display Cover Glass Panel
(Silk Screen Printed Border | Dead-Front Effect | Die-Cut 3M Adhesive Backing)
1. Product Overview & Key Highlights
Our Custom 1.1mm & 2.0mm Ultra-Clear Tempered Glass Cover Panels are engineered for high-performance touch screen displays, hotel smart access control terminals, smart home wall switches, medical interfaces, and industrial HMIs. Manufactured from premium Ultra-Clear Float Glass (Low-Iron Glass), this display cover glass delivers over 91.5% visible light transmittance, crystal-clear optical transparency, and true-to-life color rendering.
Featuring high-precision multi-layer silk screen printing (including Dead-Front hidden icon effect, IR filter pass windows, and custom logo printing) and factory-preassembled precision die-cut 3M adhesive backing, our glass covers provide a seamless, peel-and-stick integration for front bezels and display modules.
Ultra-Clear Low-Iron Substrate: Eliminates the greenish edge tint of standard float glass, delivering superior optical clarity and pristine white/color printing.
Chemical / Thermal Tempering: Enhanced surface hardness (7H to 9H) with high surface compression (CS >= 450 MPa), meeting rigorous IK07/IK08 drop ball impact standards.
Dead-Front Silk Screen Printing: Function icons and LED indicators blend invisibly into the solid black bezel when inactive, illuminating with high contrast only when backlit.
Pre-Applied Die-Cut Adhesive Backing: Available with 3M 467MP, 3M 300LSE, or OCA adhesive with easy-peel tabs for fast, bubble-free, and dust/water-resistant assembly.
Precision CNC Edge Finishing: Polished 2.5D round edges, stepped/rabbeted edges, chamfered corners, and high-tolerance cutouts (+/-0.05mm) for cameras and sensors.
Optional Surface Coatings: Anti-Fingerprint (AF), Anti-Reflective (AR), and Anti-Glare (AG) treatments available for enhanced readability and touch feel.

3. Advanced Customization & Optical Capabilities
Dead-Front Silk Screen Printing:
Delivers a sleek, minimalist all-black aesthetic when the device is in standby mode.
Backlit icons and capacitive touch buttons shine through crisp and vivid without light bleeding.
AF Coating (Anti-Fingerprint / Oleophobic):
Water contact angle > 110°, effectively repelling fingerprints, water drops, and oil smudges while providing a silky-smooth touch experience.
AR Coating (Anti-Reflective):
Multi-layer optical sputtering reduces surface reflectivity to < 1%, enhancing screen visibility and contrast under strong outdoor sunlight.
AG Treatment (Anti-Glare):
Chemical etching disperses harsh reflections and eliminates mirror-like glare in high-ambient light environments.
4. Typical Applications & Use Cases
Hotel Access Control & Security: Smart keycard readers, electronic doorplates, face recognition terminals, video intercoms, and biometric scanners.
Smart Home & Building Automation: Touch wall switches, smart thermostats, multi-functional scene controllers, and central lighting panels.
Industrial & Commercial HMI: Touch display monitors, POS terminals, EV charging pile screens, self-service kiosks, and handheld test equipment.
Medical & Laboratory Devices: Patient monitoring displays, diagnostic equipment panels, and laboratory optical windows.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the key difference between Ultra-Clear Glass (Low Iron Glass) and Standard Float Glass?
A: Ultra-Clear Glass has a significantly reduced iron oxide content, eliminating the greenish tint visible along the edges of standard glass. It offers superior optical clarity (>91.5% transmittance), true color reproduction for underlying displays, and clean, high-contrast white or light-colored silk screen borders.
Q2: How does the “Dead-Front” effect work on this glass panel?
A: Dead-Front printing utilizes a precisely formulated semi-translucent ink layer over the icon areas. In normal standby conditions, the icons remain completely hidden, matching the surrounding black border. When the internal LED backlight is activated, the icons appear bright and sharp.
Q3: What adhesive backing options are available, and how is it supplied?
A: We pre-apply custom die-cut double-sided adhesive tapes (such as 3M 467MP for smooth surfaces, 3M 300LSE for plastics/powder-coated metals, or OCA for full optical lamination) to the rear border or bonding areas. It comes with extended release tabs for fast, peel-and-stick installation.
Q4: How do I choose between 1.1mm and 2.0mm thickness?
A:
1.1mm Cover Glass: Best suited for slim, lightweight touch panels, consumer electronics, and compact indoor switches where reduced thickness and weight are desired.
2.0mm Cover Glass: Best suited for high-impact environments, outdoor access control systems, hotel door terminals, and rugged industrial HMIs where maximum structural rigidity and IK07/IK08 impact resistance are required.
Q5: Can you manufacture custom shapes, drill holes, and stepped (rabbeted) edges?
A: Yes. We accept CAD (DWG, DXF, STP) and PDF drawings for custom fabrication, including 2.5D round edges, waterjet/CNC through-holes for cameras/microphones, stepped rabbeted borders, and irregular perimeter profiles.
Q6: What surface coatings (AG/AR/AF) can be added?
A: We offer AF (Anti-Fingerprint oleophobic coating), AR (Anti-Reflective optical coating boosting light transmittance to 95%–98%), and AG (Anti-Glare etched finish to diffuse glare in bright lighting).
Q7: What is your standard lead time for samples and mass production?
A: Standard sample prototypes typically take 7 to 10 working days. Mass production takes 12 to 18 working days depending on customization complexity and order volume.
6. Packaging & Quality Assurance
