Abstract
Disclosed is a multi-layer screen protector for a display of an electronic device. The screen protector may include a glass exterior surface for tactile response, an optically clear anti-explosion adhesive to contain broken glass from the protector or the display, and a TPU layer to provide impact resistance. The screen protector may be flat or curved.
Claims19
A screen protector for placement on a screen of an electronic device, the screen protector having a lamination including:
- a layer of glass having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the layer of glass being outward facing, the second surface of the layer of glass being screen facing, a first adhesive layer of optically clear adhesive in contact with the second surface of the glass layer, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) layer having a first surface in contact with the first layer of optically clear adhesive and a second surface, the second surface in contact with a second adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer having a first surface in contact with the TPU layer and a second surface facing the screen, and a ultraviolet (UV) printing layer, the UV printing layer having a first surface in contact with the second surface of the second adhesive layer, a third adhesive layer, the third adhesive layer having a first surface in contact with a second surface of the UV printing layer, and a second surface capable of being in contact with the screen.
A screen protector for a display of an electronic device, the screen protector including a lamination of layers, the layers including:
- a layer of glass having a first surface and a second surface, an optically clear adhesive layer adhered to the second surface of the layer of glass, an anti-Newton ring layer in contact with the optically clear adhesive layer, the anti-Newton ring layer reducing Newton rings, and a double-sided adhesive to attach the lamination to the display, wherein at least a portion of the double-sided adhesive layer is in contact with the optically clear adhesive layer.
A screen protector for a display of an electronic device, the screen protector including a lamination of layers, the layers including:
- a layer of glass having a first surface and a second surface, an optically clear adhesive layer adhered to the second surface of the layer of glass, an anti-Newton ring layer in contact with the optically clear adhesive layer, the anti-Newton ring layer reducing Newton rings, and a double-sided adhesive to attach the lamination to the display,
- wherein the anti-Newton ring layer is a field of dots on a surface of the optically clear adhesive layer, the dots being 0.1 mm thick.
A screen protector for placing on and being in contact with a display of an electronic device, the screen protector including:
- a glass layer having a first surface and a second surface, an anti-explosion adhesive layer having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the anti-explosion adhesive layer in contact with the second surface of the glass layer, a TPU layer having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface of the anti-explosion adhesive layer in contact with the first surface of the TPU layer, and a double-sided adhesive layer capable of being in contact with the display.
