Acrylic Front Panel

"Acrylic" (PMMA) is a polyacrylate material, akin to treated plexiglass. It offers transparency, stability, weather resistance, aesthetics and easy coloring/processing. With 92% light transmittance and half the weight of glass, it's shatter-resistant (12-18x glass), strong (10x+ glass), weatherproof, electrical insulation, and chemically stable. A thickness of 0.8mm acrylic front panel is flexible and can be bent by hand.

PET Front Panel

PET excels in drug, acid & alkali resistance, insulation, heat & wear resistance, strong toughness, and dimensional stability. Ideal for high-demand instruments and appliance front panels as it outperforms PC front panels in button longevity. As a premium substrate for film switches & circuits, PET front panels with light transmission, shading, water-proofing, and dust-proofing. Widely applied in appliances, communications, instrumentation, industrial control, etc.

Front Panel Material

Transparent Acrylic Front Panel

The transparent acrylic panel material turns colorful upon ink printing and can cater to diverse light transmission needs, ranging from fully transparent to semi-transparent to fully opaque. Now LCSC supports the transparent acrylic front panel thicknesses are 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 2.8mm, 4mm, and 6mm.

Black Semi-transparent Acrylic Front Panel

The raw material is naturally semi-transparent, with a light transmittance of about 15%. Without light, it appears black, yet when illuminated, it allows light to pass through.

Strong Shading Effect panel process image

Strong Shading Effect

Compared to normal shading, the front panels add a light-shielding underlayer, which can prevent light sources to the surrounding areas.

Note: Neither normal shading nor enhanced shading will affect transparent and translucent windows.

Actual Case of Strong Shading Effect panel process image

Actual Case of Strong Shading Effect

LEDs or strong lights under the front panels may cause glare with normal shading. Applying a stronger shading layer significantly reduces glare.

Bulged Button panel process image

Bulged Button

1.Bulged buttons on PET front panels are made by a hydraulic press to bulge the button area on the film layer.

2.Enhancing recognition speed, offering a stronger tactile feeling on front panels for users, and accurately indicating the range of the keys.

3.The basic shapes include spherical bulges, elliptical bulges, rounded rectangular bulges, etc.

4.The height range is within 0.3~0.6mm, typically at 0.45mm.

Black Semi-transparent panel process image

Black Semi-transparent

Black translucent acrylic front panel material blends with a screen in the dark but reveals under light. Adding a black underlayer to non-display areas can enhance a visual appeal.

Translucent Colors panel process image

Translucent Colors

LCSC supports translucent colors in the front panels. Customers must mark CMYK color & text ("red translucent") in drawings.

Note: Use "red translucent" instead of "red transparent" to avoid confusion.

Transparent Window panel process image
