I would like to investigate the feasibility of fabricating an automotive display which uses a graph and numeric displays. I have searched the web for several hours and have finally found this site which would appear to have some really smart guys. I need some help!
Front Glass. The the original display measures approximately 3.5" x 5". The front glass substrate is approximately 1/16" or 1/32" thick and is tinted on the back side which is then bonded to a second piece of glass.
Back Glass. This second piece of glass is essentially the same size as above except the top and left hand side is about 3/16" smaller (you can see the crystal ribbon sections in this portion on the top and sides). The original display used this indented area to attach sections of a two-sided 1/8" thick by 1/2" tall rubberized strip conductor(?). This rubberized conductor seems to have an embedded powdered material sandwiched in the center. This section of glass has the semi-invisible crystal circutry imprinted on it. It was then bonded/sealed to the front glass.
Back Side/Back Glass. Finally the back side appears to have a thin opaque black film sealed to the glass. The "graph bar and numerics and the digital numeric boxes have been left clear.
Remainder of assbly. This completed display is then place against colored templated, a 1/2' thick clear piece of plastic and then a piece of very opaque white thin plastic sheet.
Anyone that can help please jump in or email me direct. I am not an engineer. Degreed in Math, very familiar with screenprinting, and an exceptionally patience and oriented guy. Thanks--just get me pointed.
Have the ability to post picture(s) to my web address for those that can help.
