Overlay
Different LED colors can indicate the mode in which an electronic device is operating,
depending on the icon associated with it.
Optional graphic overlay made with polished LEXAN™ Polycarbonate 8010 Film 0.007"
(0.175 mm) thick has reverse printed translucent white icon, in order to still see it even
when the back lighting is off.
Lexan 8010 is a transparent polycarbonate film and offers hardness, chemical and abrasion
resistance, stiffness, and high temperature capability.
Adhesive: 3 M waterclear
Three standard icons are available: alarm, arrow and on-off. Custom icons are also available
upon request.
Capacitive Touch Display can also be mounted behind clear glass or plastic layer such as
polycarbonate or acrylic, as shown in the picture below.
Suggested overlay size: 0.590” x 0.590”
