Hi,

What type of materials are generally used to cover TFT LCD displays in=20
products?  And possibly still allow use of a touch screen?

For LED displays, I generally use a thin < 1mm acrylic piece over the=20
LEDs, which when color-matched to the LEDs will hide the electronics=20
nicely yet not dim the LED brightness noticeably.  With multicolor LEDs,=20
I've found that light bronze seems to be a good compromise between=20
hiding the internal electronics, and display brightness.  But it does=20
take away some brightness.

For TFT's, I've noticed that the bronze acrylic does attenuate the=20
brightness noticeably.  I'm not sure I want to leave the screen exposed,=20
and in cases where the inside of the bezel is larger than the LCD=20
display, I will definitely need need some type of cover material.  Any=20
ideas on what's typically used here?

Thanks,
-Neil.
