Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices integrated into laminated glass fail shortly after lamination due to the penetration of plasticizers, additives, and external moisture and oxygen from the interlayer adhesive, which react with the conductive adhesive in the conductive adhesive tape electrode, reducing its conductivity and causing device failure.

Innovation Solution

A protective layer is applied to the conductive adhesive tape electrode, sealing it onto the conductive substrate, which prevents the diffusion of plasticizers, additives, and moisture from the interlayer adhesive, thereby maintaining the conductivity of the electronic devices and extending their operational lifespan.
