Over 40 years ago, General Digital began as a small company developing software for a whole

host of applications From those humble beginnings General Digital has grown to encompass host of applications. From those humble beginnings, General Digital has grown to encompass

three distinct business units: Display Systems, Optical Bonding Laboratories and Software

Services. Offering an incomparable spectrum of integration and value-add expertise and

services, all under one roof, General Digital draws upon the unique skill sets of each of our

three divisions to produce truly innovative and unrivaled products.

OPTICAL BONDING BENEFITS

I d B i ht d C t t Improved Brightness and Contrast Optical coupling minimizes internal light reflections, dramatically improving

performance in direct sunlight

Improves Environmental Performancep o s o a o a Optical heaters extend low temperature operating range of LCD Chemically strengthened glass enhances impact resistance Elimination of air gap eliminates risk of moisture between layers

No Distortion When Touching LCD
