Do you happen to have any before-and-after photos of what this looked like, and more details on how your tortilla press DIY method works? I recently received a little hackable music player device with a TFT display that looks kind of bad and I wonder if this is something I can do to make the display look good.
- andrewchilds 2y agoThe process was applying steady pressure to the TFT display -> OCA film -> glass, sandwiched between soft rubber, for about a minute. However you need to do a decent job applying the OCA film in the first place - there are youtube videos that show how to do it. I probably wouldn't recommend what I did in your case - it's easy to go too far and break the glass, and I'm not sure if what's wrong in your case is due to the OCA film in between the display and the glass.
- antonok 2y agoFWIW, there is an alternative to OCA film that's slightly easier to apply in small quantities without specialized hardware - it's called LOCA glue (i.e. Liquid OCA). I'd definitely recommend that if you're just assembling less than, say, 10 screens.
